Privacy notice

This notice explains how AMC Accounting Limited, trading as AMC Accountants (“we”, “us”), collects and uses personal data. Last updated October 2026.

Who we are

AMC Accounting Limited is registered in England and Wales, company number 15695714, registered office 502 Goldpence Apartments, 9 Buckle Street, London E1 8NJ. We are the data controller for the personal data described here and are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), registration number ZC013348.

What we collect

Contact details you give us through our website, by email, phone or WhatsApp: name, email, phone number and your message
Identity documents and information needed for anti-money laundering checks and Companies House identity verification
Financial, tax and business records you provide so we can carry out our work, including information about your family, employees or tenants where relevant
Technical data when you visit our website, such as IP address and browser type, collected by our hosting provider for security

How we use it and our lawful basis

To reply to enquiries and give you a quote: our legitimate interests, or steps taken at your request before entering a contract
To provide accounting, tax, payroll and advisory services: performance of our contract with you
To carry out identity checks and meet anti-money laundering, tax and professional obligations: legal obligation
To send you deadline reminders and tax updates as a client: legitimate interests. You can opt out at any time

We do not sell your data or use it for automated decision-making.

Who we share it with

Only where needed to do our work or meet the law: HM Revenue & Customs, Companies House, The Pensions Regulator and other authorities; our professional body ICAEW and our regulators where required; and service providers acting on our instructions, such as accounting and tax software, client portal, identity verification, email and IT providers. Some providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, we use the safeguards required by UK data protection law.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are deleted within 12 months. Client records are kept for at least six years after the end of the tax year they relate to, and anti-money laundering records for five years after our relationship ends, unless the law requires longer.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict how we use it, and ask for it to be transferred. Some rights are limited where we must keep records by law. To use any of these rights, contact us using the details above.
