4. Confidentiality of Client Financial Information
 

High Plains Bookkeeping recognizes the sensitive nature of financial information.
 

Client records are used for authorized business purposes and are disclosed only as necessary to provide services, operate our business, comply with applicable law, or as otherwise authorized.
 

We seek to limit access to confidential information to individuals and service providers with a legitimate business need.

Our engagement agreements may establish additional confidentiality, information-handling, and service-specific obligations.

5. Information Security
 

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

These safeguards may include access controls, account authentication, secure communication methods, and the use of reputable technology service providers.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, banking credentials, account passwords, or other highly sensitive financial information through general website contact forms or unsecured email.

When sensitive documents are necessary, we will coordinate an appropriate method of exchange.

We use third-party technology providers to operate our website, communicate, and deliver services.

These may include:

• Google Workspace: Business email, communications, and related productivity services.

• QuickBooks Online: Accounting and bookkeeping services when applicable.

• Other authorized software, document-management, payment, or professional service providers as needed.

These providers may process information in accordance with their applicable privacy policies and contractual obligations.

We may also disclose information when required by law, valid legal process, or as necessary to protect legal rights.

We do not authorize third-party providers to use confidential client financial information for unrelated purposes merely because they provide services to our business.

We use this information to evaluate website performance and improve our services and online presence.

Facebook and Meta Technologies

We may use Meta technologies, including the Meta Pixel if enabled, to measure advertising performance, understand visitor interactions, and support advertising on Facebook and other Meta platforms.
