Filling of regulatory tax filings
Creating financial statements
Communicating with clients

We may also use your data to communicate with you, either to deliver marketing or support information or to alert you to enhancements to our services or if there are security issues you need to be made aware of.

Storage & Retention of Collected Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. All data entered into the LodgeiT systems is encrypted at rest and in transit. Please read more about our security procedures here.

When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) on our website, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and the transaction is completed via our third-party payment collections partner - https://eway.io/. When Credit Card details are collected, we simply pass them on to the card processing company in order to be processed as required. We never permanently store complete Credit Card details.
