Research guide An independent accounting comparison and research guide. We publish informational comparison content about accounting providers; we do not provide accounting, tax, payroll or financial advisory services.
What this site does and does not process: no accounts, no payments, no sensitive forms, and a shortlist kept only in your own browser.
This page describes only the data processing that actually takes place on this website. The site is designed to work without accounts, without payments and without collecting financial or personal information from visitors.
This site is designed so that there is very little to describe: no accounts, no payment, no forms collecting financial data and no third-party analytics.
There is no login, no registration, no member area, no password field and no account of any kind. There is no checkout, no payment processing and no card or banking form. There is no questionnaire, no quote request, no consultation request, no callback request and no provider application form, so no visitor submits business, financial or personal information through this site.
The only visitor data the site stores is the shortlist of providers you build yourself. It is kept in your browser's local storage on your own device. It is not transmitted to this website's servers, it is not linked to any identity, and it is not shared with providers or anyone else. Clearing your browser data, or using the 'Clear shortlist' control, removes it.
Filter selections are processed in your browser to display matching provider records. They are not sent anywhere. No profiling, no behavioural tracking and no automated decision-making takes place.
This site sets no cookies of its own, uses no third-party cookies, and does not load third-party analytics or advertising scripts. Local storage is used for the shortlist only. The cookies page records this in the same detail.
The web server that delivers the site may keep standard technical access logs, such as the requested page, the time and the requesting IP address, in order to serve pages and to protect the service against abuse. These logs are not used to build visitor profiles and are not combined with any other information about you.
When you click a link to a provider's own website or to a public register, you leave this site and the destination's own privacy policy applies. Nothing opens automatically, and no information about you is passed on by this site.
If you contact the publisher about a correction or an editorial matter, the information you choose to provide is used only to deal with that message. You are not required to give a name, an address, a company name or any financial detail. You can ask for a message to be deleted by writing to the publisher address shown on the contact page.
Where data-protection law gives you rights over information that identifies you, you can exercise them by contacting the publisher. Because this site does not create visitor accounts and does not ask for personal information, in most cases there is no stored personal data to act on beyond a message you have chosen to send.
