Introduction

At Financial Audit Services, we value your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and share your information. This Consent Policy explains how we obtain, record, and manage your consent for various processing activities.

What is Consent?

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of your wishes by which you, through a statement or clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose.

When We Ask for Your Consent

We may request your consent in various situations, including but not limited to:

  • When you sign up to receive our newsletters or marketing communications
  • When you submit a form on our website
  • When you request our services
  • When we use cookies and similar technologies on our website
  • Before we process any sensitive personal information
  • Before we share your information with third parties for purposes not directly related to the services you've requested

How We Obtain Your Consent

We obtain your consent through clear affirmative actions such as:

  • Ticking checkboxes on our website forms
  • Clicking "accept" or "agree" buttons
  • Signing a consent document
  • Providing verbal consent during recorded conversations (where applicable and with prior notice)

We ensure that any consent request is:

  • Presented in a clear and plain language

Recording Your Consent

We maintain records of when, how, and what you consented to. These records may include:

We will process your request to withdraw consent within a reasonable timeframe and will confirm when this has been completed.
