Privacy Policy

The short version

This website is informational. It sets no advertising cookies, runs no ad trackers, and asks you for no personal information. You can read every page of this site without telling us anything about yourself.

What this website collects

Like nearly all websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes standard technical information needed to deliver pages to your browser โ€” such as your IP address and browser type โ€” and may log it briefly for security and performance purposes. We may also review privacy-friendly, aggregate visit statistics (for example, how many people viewed a page) that do not identify individual visitors and do not use cookies.

The client portal

Documents and messages you exchange with our office through our client portal are handled by Verifyle, our secure portal provider, and are encrypted in transit and at rest. That information goes directly to our office and is used only for providing our services to you. It is never sold or shared for marketing. Verifyle's own practices are described in its privacy policy at verifyle.com.

Email and phone

If you email or call us, we use your contact information only to respond and to provide the services you request. As a CPA firm, we treat client information as confidential in accordance with professional standards and applicable law, including IRC ยง7216 restrictions on the use and disclosure of tax return information.

Links to other sites

This site links to third-party websites (such as the IRS, California FTB, news publishers, and our portal provider). Their privacy practices are their own โ€” review their policies when you visit them.
