At Tim Hunter CPA, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your non-public personal information (NPI) and taxpayer data through strict adherence to federal regulations and industry best practices. This Privacy Policy outlines how we access, collect, use, store, transmit, and securely dispose of your information when you visit our website, utilize our client portals, or engage our professional accounting and tax advisory services.

1. Information We Collect

To provide accurate accounting, tax, bookkeeping, and consulting services, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Personal Identifiers: Name, physical address, email address, phone number, and social security numbers.

• Financial & Business Records: Corporate ledgers, income statements, balance sheets, payroll records, bank account numbers, tax documents (W-2s, 1099s), and transaction history.

• Digital Data: IP addresses, browser types, and usage data gathered through standard website analytics to optimize user experience.

2. Compliance with IRS Data Standards & Security

Protecting your financial data and taxpayer privacy is our highest priority. In compliance with Internal Revenue Service mandates, our firm operates under a strict, extensive Written Information Security Plan (WISP). This plan establishes robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to keep your personal and corporate records safe from unauthorized access or digital threats.

3. Safe Document Transmission & Sharing

We enforce a zero-compromise policy regarding the handling of your files:

• Secure Document Uploads: We utilize Citrix ShareFile for all document exchanges, requests, and digital file transfers. This ensures your private financial records and tax communications are shielded by end-to-end bank-grade encryption. Please do not email sensitive data through standard, unencrypted channels.

• No Third-Party Sharing: We will never share, sell, rent, or provide your non-public personal information to third parties unless we receive your explicit, written consent to do so, or when required strictly by law.

4. Payment Processing Security

Tim Hunter CPA is fully PCI DSS compliant (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards), verified by SecurityMetrics. Our electronic payment processing methods, security policies, and data-handling systems satisfy the strict security compliance benchmarks endorsed by major card brands, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
