HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Your use of others’ personal information
In using our Services, you may provide us with the personal information of others ( e.g. names and addresses of your accounting clients or employees). We are only a service provider of such information.
As your service provider, we process (i,e, collect, use, disclose, etc.) such information as directed by you to provide you our Services. That is, we do not use your customers’ or employees’ information to independently market or advertise to them unless they too are using our Services directly.
You are responsible for the personal information of others that you disclose to us via our Services and for ensuring that your instructions regarding the processing of such information comply with applicable data protection laws.

In these circumstances, we are only a “service provider” of such information.

Your rights over your information
Depending on your use of our Services and where you reside, you may have the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, or object to certain uses of certain personal information (e.g. unsubscribing from direct marketing emails).
You can exercise these rights by emailing correct or updated information to the MRA Tax Team . Please note that we may ask to see documentation verifying your identity.
Please also note that there is a difference between the information we decide to collect for our own purposes (e.g., your account sign-up information) and the information our Customers direct us to store or process via our Services (e.g., names of employees or clients). If you are an individual who wishes to exercise your rights over information that one of our Customers may be storing or processing via our Services for their own purposes, you will need to contact the Customer directly. In this scenario, we are only a service provider acting on their direction, and we cannot decide how to process their information.
