Last updated: 14 November 2026
Hire a Bookkeeper is an accountancy practice based in Dublin, Ireland. You can reach us at [email protected] or on WhatsApp at +353 87 796 4227. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights over it.
What we collect
- Contact details you give us when you book a call, message us or enquire - name, business name, email and phone number.
- Documents and records you send us so we can provide bookkeeping, payroll and tax services - invoices, receipts, bank statements and payroll details. These can contain personal data about you, your employees, customers and suppliers.
- Basic technical data when you browse this site, such as pages visited. We do not run advertising trackers.
Why we use it
- To provide our services to you (performing our contract).
- To meet legal obligations - tax, company and anti-money-laundering law requires us to verify clients and keep records.
- To reply to enquiries and manage our relationship with you (legitimate interest).
Who we share it with
- Revenue and the Companies Registration Office, when filing on your behalf.
- The software providers that run our practice (accounting, payroll and document tools), under data-processing terms.
- Our website, booking and email hosting providers (including Cloudflare and Google), who process data on our instructions.
We never sell your data and never share it for marketing by others.
How long we keep it
Client accounting and tax records are kept for six years, as Irish tax law requires. Enquiry details from people who do not become clients are deleted within 12 months.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected or deleted, object to or restrict processing, and ask for a portable copy. Email [email protected] and we will respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).
Security
Access to client data is limited to the people working on your account. Our systems use encryption in transit and at rest, and access controls on every account.
