We collect your personal information so we can:
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Where you provide third-party credentials or API keys (for example, for Xero or other integrations), these are used exclusively to connect your chosen services and remain under your control.
Where we collect your personal information from someone other than you, we will take reasonable steps to notify you that we have collected your personal information, the purpose of the collection, and the intended recipients of the information.
We will only retain personal information as long as it is required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used. We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from any loss, unauthorised access, or other misuse.
We retain personal information and platform data for as long as necessary to deliver our services and meet our legal obligations. When your engagement with Mana Tax concludes, we will retain records as required by law and then securely delete or anonymise personal information that is no longer needed.
We respect and protect the privacy of your personal information at all times. We may disclose your personal information to:
All third-party providers are subject to strict confidentiality and data security obligations. We conduct due diligence to ensure they meet appropriate privacy and security standards. Your data is never shared with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes unrelated to your engagement with us.
Our team has processes and systems in place in the event of a data breach. If such an event occurs that poses a risk of harm, we will promptly identify, report, and examine the breach, and notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act 2020.
Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your personal information that we hold and to request a correction. You may also request that we restrict how we process your data, or ask for a portable copy of your information. Before you exercise this right, we will need to confirm your identity.
To request access or corrections, please contact us:
insert email, phone, and mailing address before publishing.
We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and no later than 20 working days, in line with our obligations under the Privacy Act.
