- scheduling platforms
- email service providers
These providers are permitted to use information only as needed to provide services to us.

C) Business Transfers
If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
D) With Your Consent
We may share information when you direct us to or consent to such sharing.
5) No Client Relationship Created by Website Use
Using the Site or submitting information through the Site does not create an accountant-client, CPA-client, tax preparer-client, or fiduciary relationship. A professional relationship is established only through a signed written engagement agreement.
6) Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to:
- operate the Site
- remember preferences
- analyze traffic and usage patterns
- measure performance of marketing (if applicable)
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some Site features may not function properly.
If your Site uses cookie banners or consent tools, you can also manage preferences there.
7) Email and Marketing Communications
If you opt in to receive emails or request information from us, we may send you communications related to your inquiry and, where permitted, marketing messages.
You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by:
- clicking “unsubscribe” in the email (if included), or
- contacting us at [Rob@arsaccounting.com]
We may still send non-marketing messages that are necessary to provide services you requested (e.g., appointment confirmations).
8) Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through standard web forms unless we provide a secure upload method.
9) Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to:
- respond to your request
- provide services (if you become a client)
- comply with legal, tax, and regulatory requirements
- resolve disputes and enforce agreements
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and our legal obligations.
10) Privacy Rights (U.S. State Disclosures)
Some U.S. states provide residents with privacy rights (including access, correction, deletion, and opting out of certain processing). Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you
- request deletion of personal information (subject to legal exceptions)
- request correction of inaccurate information
- opt out of certain types of data sharing or targeted advertising (if applicable)
“Do Not Sell or Share”
ARS does not sell your personal information for money. If we use certain advertising tools that share data via cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising, some laws may treat that as “sharing.” If you want to opt out of such sharing, contact us at [Rob@arsaccounting.com] and we will honor applicable requests.
11) Children’s Privacy
The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies separately.
