If one of these services is used, the payment provider may collect and process information necessary to complete a transaction, including payment-card or bank-account information.
Payment information submitted directly through these services is processed according to the payment provider's own privacy policy, terms, and security practices.

We may provide information to these companies when reasonably necessary for them to perform services on our behalf.
These companies maintain their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms governing their handling of information.

We treat client financial information as confidential and use it only as reasonably necessary to:
Provide agreed-upon bookkeeping services
Communicate with the client
Maintain appropriate business records
Meet legal or regulatory obligations
Protect Artist Bookkeeping's legal rights
Protect against fraud or security threats
Whenever reasonably available, access to accounting, banking, payment, or financial platforms should be provided through appropriate authorized-user or accountant-access features rather than by sharing account passwords.
Additional confidentiality, security, document-retention, and data-handling provisions may be included in the bookkeeping engagement agreement between Artist Bookkeeping and its clients.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may share information when reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate Artist Bookkeeping, including website, email, scheduling, bookkeeping, payment-processing, document-storage, technology, security, and professional service providers.

Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
Artist Bookkeeping does not control the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites or services you visit.
Data Security
Artist Bookkeeping uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain.
Because bookkeeping services may involve sensitive financial information, we seek to limit access to client information and use reasonable security practices to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We retain personal and business information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Provide services
Maintain appropriate business and accounting records
Fulfill contractual obligations
Comply with applicable legal requirements

You may contact us to request that we:
Provide information about personal information we maintain about you
Correct inaccurate information
Delete certain information when legally and practically permitted
Address concerns regarding our handling of your information
We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
