Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 4, 2026

At Downeast Ledger & Payroll Services, LLC, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting the information you choose to share with me.

Information I Collect

When you contact me through my website, email, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, other social media platforms, or complete one of my questionnaires, I may collect information such as:

• Your name

• Email address

• Phone number

• Business name

• Information about your bookkeeping or payroll needs

• Any other information you choose to provide

I do not request Social Security numbers, bank account credentials, or other sensitive financial information through my website contact forms or initial client questionnaires.

How I Use Your Information

I may use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your questions or inquiries

• Learn about your business and bookkeeping or payroll needs

• Determine whether my services may be a good fit for your business

• Recommend services based on your needs

• Communicate with you about my services

• Provide bookkeeping or payroll services if you become a client

• Maintain necessary business records

I do not sell or rent your personal information.

Third-Party Services

My website is hosted through Google Sites. I also use third-party services to operate my business and communicate with prospective and current clients. These may include:

• Google Workspace

• Google Forms

• QuickBooks Online

• Facebook Messenger

• Instagram

• Other accounting, payroll, communication, or technology services used in connection with my business

These third-party providers maintain their own privacy and security practices. Information you provide directly through a third-party service may also be subject to that provider's privacy policy.

Client Information

If you become a client, I may need additional business, financial, bookkeeping, or payroll information to provide the services you request.

Client information and documents are handled separately from general website inquiries and in accordance with my service agreements, business procedures, and the third-party platforms used to provide those services.

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect the information you choose to share with me.

Please do not submit confidential financial information, account login credentials, or other sensitive information through my website contact forms or social media messages. If sensitive information is needed to provide services, an appropriate method of sharing that information will be provided.

Information Retention

I may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, or meet legal or regulatory requirements.

Your Information

If you have questions about personal information you have provided to me, or would like to request that information be corrected or deleted, please contact me. Certain information may need to be retained when required for legal, contractual, or business recordkeeping purposes.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my business, services, technology, or applicable requirements.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
