Client Data Security at Tax Warriors: Our Commitment to Protecting Your Information

At Tax Warriors, we take the security of our clients’ personal and financial information very seriously. In an age of increasingly complex cyber threats, we’ve added new security measures to keep your data safe always.

​

ProtonMail for Secure Communication

We’re happy to announce that we now use ProtonMail, a secure email service that offers end-to-end encryption. ProtonMail is based in Switzerland and has some of the world’s strongest privacy laws. That means your emails and attachments are encrypted before they leave your device and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient.

​

Why ProtonMail?

  • End-to-End Encryption: Only you and the recipient can read the contents of your emails.

  • Zero Access to User Data: ProtonMail’s encryption means even they can’t access your emails.

  • Secure Data Centers: Servers are located in secure facilities deep underground.

  • Open Source and Transparent: ProtonMail’s code is publicly available to view.

​

Get Started with ProtonMail

To secure our communication we recommend all our clients sign up for a free ProtonMail account. It only takes a minute:

  1. Go to ProtonMail’s Website

  2. Click on “Sign Up” and choose the Free Plan

  3. Create your account with a strong, unique password

  4. Start sending and receiving encrypted emails now

​

By using ProtonMail you can send us sensitive documents like tax forms, ID and financial statements without worrying about unauthorized access.

​

Offline Data Storage: Protecting Your Data from Cyber Threats

In addition to secure email communication we have offline data storage solutions to protect your data from online breaches. Here’s how we protect your data:

  • Air-Gapped Systems: Client data is stored on computers not connected to the internet so no remote hacking can occur.

  • Regular Backups: We back up your data on encrypted external drives stored in secure locations.

  • Controlled Access: Only authorized people have access to offline data storage so confidentiality and integrity is ensured.

  • Advanced Encryption Standards: Data is encrypted with industry leading encryption before it’s stored offline.

​

Our Data Security Approach

We go beyond these measures. We have a layered security approach:

  • Secure Office: Our office has advanced security systems to prevent physical access.

  • Employee Training: All staff undergo regular training on data protection and compliance.

  • Regulatory Compliance: We comply with Canadian privacy laws and regulations including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).

  • Security Audits: We review our security protocols regularly to identify and fix potential weaknesses.

​

Why Data Security

As your tax professionals we handle sensitive information that if compromised could lead to identity theft, financial loss or other serious consequences. By having robust security measures we:

  • Protect Your Identity: Protect personal information like Social Insurance Numbers and addresses.

  • Confidentiality: Keep your financial information private.

  • Trust: Have peace of mind your information is in good hands.

  • Fraud: Reduce the risk of fraud related to your personal and financial information.

​

​

How You Can Help Protect Your Data

We’re doing our part to secure your data but we recommend you do the following:

  • Use Strong Passwords: Create strong passwords and update them regularly.

  • Lock Your Devices: Install antivirus software and keep your devices up to date.

  • Watch Out for Phishing: Don’t open suspicious emails or click on unknown links.

  • Use Secure Networks: Avoid public Wi-Fi when accessing or sending sensitive information.
