Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This policy explains what information Santa Monica Accounting (“we”, “us”) collects through santamonicaaccounting.net, how we use it and the choices you have.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, business details, the services you are interested in and any message you send through our contact or quote forms.
  • Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, for security and to keep the site running.
  • Cookies: we only use cookies that are needed for the site to work. We do not use advertising cookies.

Please do not send Social Security numbers, bank or card numbers, or tax documents through our website forms. We will give clients a secure way to share documents.

How we use your information

  • To reply to your questions and prepare your quote
  • To schedule consultations and provide the services you request
  • To keep our website secure and working properly
  • To meet our legal and professional obligations

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Service providers we use

We share information only with providers that help us run the website and our business: our website host (GoDaddy), our email delivery service (Brevo) and our business email provider (Microsoft 365). If you book a consultation, Calendly processes your booking under its own privacy policy. Links to other websites, such as Yelp, are governed by those sites’ policies.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiry information only as long as needed to respond to you and for our normal business records, unless a longer period is required by law. Client records are kept as required by applicable tax and professional rules.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information you have sent us by emailing info@santamonicaaccounting.net. Depending on where you live, including California, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

Children

Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
