At Dharna CPA, we continuously consider the privacy of our members in all our business decisions. While the majority of information we collect is business information, we do occasionally collect personal information through our online forms.
The personal information that we collect is not shared with any third party, nor do we share any mailing or email lists with third party vendor companies.
The primary use of information collected is for our own communication purposes, keeping our subscribers abreast of industry changes, internal updates, and accounting and tax tips.
We do not disclose personal information collected to any third-party individuals, organizations, businesses, associations, or corporations. We also do not sell or make public our membership lists.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided by leaving a review on Facebook or Google. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact forms
Contact forms may ask for your name, email, phone number or other information. The information is asked to better serve you in each instance. For example, if you want us to contact you for a consultation, we will need to know your phone number.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
The analytics tools we use do not track personal information. Instead, data is aggregated for reporting purposes.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your personal data with anyone outside of the Dharna CPA team. If Dharna CPA is retained to do file your taxes, your information will be shared/transmitted to CRA.
How long we retain your data
We will retain data as long as is needed (e.g. as long as you are subscribed to our newsletter, or if you are a client – past or present – as long as required by professional standards, typically 6 years)
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have completed a form on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
