At Hunter & Brooke LLC, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure online experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide when you visit our website and request a consultation. By submitting your information, you agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
When you request a consultation or engage with our services, we may collect certain types of information. This includes your personal identifiable information (PII), such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other details you provide through our website forms. If applicable, we may also collect financial information, such as income, tax-related data, and other documents required for our tax and accounting services. Additionally, we may automatically collect non-personal information such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage statistics through cookies and similar technologies. This data helps us improve the functionality of our website.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used solely for the purpose of providing you with tax, accounting, and consultation services. This includes responding to your consultation requests, scheduling appointments, communicating with you regarding your inquiries or service updates, and providing personalized advice. We also use your information to manage your account, improve the quality of our services, and comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Occasionally, we may use your email address to send updates, promotions, or offers related to our services. You can opt out of receiving marketing emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in each email.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information you provide to us from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and secure servers. However, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure, and while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, there are a few limited circumstances where we may share your information. We may share your information with service providers who assist us in delivering tax, accounting, or technology services, such as email providers or cloud storage services. We may also disclose your information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Hunter & Brooke LLC, our clients, or the public. We will never share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
Retention of Your Information
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. After this period, we will securely delete or anonymize your data.
Your Rights and Choices
You have several rights regarding your personal information. You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and you can request that we update or correct any inaccurate or incomplete information. You may also ask us to delete your personal information, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications, you can opt out by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and improve site performance. You can control cookie settings through your browser, but please note that some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
California Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These rights include the ability to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request deletion of your personal data, and opt out of the sale of your personal data.
