AGP Offshore Accounting

Last updated: [Month YYYY]

This document is a template provided for convenience and must be reviewed and adapted by qualified legal counsel to reflect your firm's actual data-handling practices and the laws of every jurisdiction in which you operate before it is published.

1. Introduction and scope

AGP Offshore Accounting ("AGP", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather when you visit this website or get in touch with us, why we gather it, how we use and safeguard it, and the choices and rights available to you.

This policy applies to information collected through this website and through enquiries, consultation requests and free-trial requests submitted to us. It does not cover the separate processing we carry out on behalf of client firms under a signed service agreement, where the client firm acts as the controller of its own clients' data and we act on its documented instructions.

2. Information we collect

We aim to collect only what we need. The categories of information we may collect include:

Information you provide directly. When you complete a contact, consultation or free-trial form, you may give us your first name, last name, email address, phone number, company name and the details contained in your message or enquiry.
Correspondence. Records of any emails, calls or messages you exchange with us, so we can respond to and follow up on your enquiry.
Technical and usage data. When you browse the site, your device and browser may share standard technical details such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, the pages you view and the dates and times of those visits.

We do not ask you to submit sensitive financial records or confidential client data through the public forms on this website. Please do not include such material in a website enquiry; we will share a secure method for transferring documents once an engagement begins.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for clearly defined purposes, including to:

respond to your enquiries, consultation requests and free-trial requests;
provide, set up and manage the services you ask us about or engage us for;
communicate with you about your enquiry, your account or a current engagement;
send relevant information about our services where you have agreed to receive it;
maintain, secure and improve this website and our internal operations;
meet our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.

We process your information where we have a lawful basis to do so — typically because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract, to comply with a legal obligation, with your consent, or in pursuit of our legitimate interests in operating and promoting our services in a way that does not override your rights.

4. Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working correctly and to understand how visitors use it. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Where we use analytics tools, they help us measure traffic and improve content; any such measurement is intended to be used in aggregate rather than to identify you personally.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function. Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary and only with parties who are bound to protect it, including:

Service providers. Trusted third parties who support our operations — for example website hosting, email delivery, communication and analytics providers — and who process information only on our instructions.
Professional advisers. Legal, accounting and other advisers where reasonably necessary.
Legal and regulatory bodies. Authorities, courts or regulators where we are required to disclose information by law or to protect our rights, property or safety, or those of others.
Business transfers. A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition or reorganisation, subject to the protections described in this policy.

6. Data security

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. These measures may include access controls, encryption in transit, restricted internal access on a need-to-know basis and staff confidentiality commitments. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we work hard to protect your information we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this policy, including to respond to your enquiry, to deliver and account for our services, and to satisfy any legal, tax or regulatory requirements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.

8. International transfers

AGP Offshore Accounting is based in Lucknow, India, and serves firms in the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. As a result, information you provide may be transferred to, stored in or accessed from India and other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those in your own country. Where such transfers take place, we take steps to ensure your information continues to be protected in line with this policy and applicable law.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, which can include the right to:

access the personal information we hold about you;
request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
request deletion of your information in certain circumstances;
object to or restrict particular types of processing;
withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
request a copy of certain information in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will reply within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Children's privacy

This website and our services are intended for businesses and professionals, not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to remove it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal obligations. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
