Privacy policy

We may collect personal information such as your name, contact details, company information and financial data when you engage our services, visit our website or communicate with us. This is necessary to provide professional accounting, audit and advisory services.

We process your data for the following purposes:

• To provide professional services and fulfil contractual obligations.
• To comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including those of the Botswana Accountancy Oversight Authority (BAOA), the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) and the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA).
• To communicate with you about our services and industry updates.
• To improve our website and client experience.

This website uses privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics to count visits. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time from the link in the footer. The enquiry form uses a bot check from Cloudflare that may set a cookie for that purpose. The map on the contact page loads from Google, which may set its own cookies, only when you choose to show it or have accepted cookies.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Our staff are trained on data confidentiality and security protocols.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with third parties only when necessary for the provision of our services, for example regulatory bodies and trusted software providers, or when required by law.

Under the Data Protection Act, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• Object to the processing of your data in certain circumstances.

If you have any questions about this policy or wish to exercise your rights, contact our Information Officer by email at info@sharma-associates.co.bw or by post at 1st Floor, Plot 8881, African Mall, Gaborone, Botswana.
