(The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became operational on August 1, 2016.

J. Security
Anderson & Associates CPA takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of the user's personal information under our control.
