Trades & Ledger LLC ("Trades & Ledger," "we," "us," or "our") provides bookkeeping and financial record-keeping services for independent contractors and trade businesses. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through tradesandledger.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information you give us. When you fill out the contact form on our Site, we collect the details you enter, which may include your first name, last name, email address, and the message you write. If you email or call us, we also keep the details you share in those messages or calls.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our Site and our website host, Wix.com, automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the date and time of your visit, and the website that referred you. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

Please do not send sensitive information through the contact form or by ordinary email. This includes Social Security numbers, bank or credit card account numbers, passwords, or tax returns. If we work together, we will give you a secure way to share financial records.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

- respond to your questions and requests, including setting up a call or consultation;

- provide, manage, and improve our bookkeeping services and communications with you;

- keep records of our business relationship;

- operate, secure, and improve the Site, and understand how visitors use it;

- comply with legal and tax obligations, and protect our rights.

We may email you about your inquiry or our services. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us.

3. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies that are needed to make it work and to measure how it is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you block some cookies, parts of the Site may not work properly.

4. WHO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run our business, with:

- service providers who help us operate the Site and our business, such as our website host (Wix.com), our email and productivity provider (Google Workspace), and any customer relationship management, scheduling, or email tools we use to manage inquiries and clients;

- professional advisers, such as accountants and attorneys, when needed;

- authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety;

- a successor, if our business is sold or reorganized.

These providers may only use your information to provide services to us and are responsible for their own privacy practices.

5. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION

We keep contact form messages and related records for as long as needed to respond to you, to provide our services, and to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements. After that, we delete or anonymize them.

6. SECURITY

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS

You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, subject to legal and record-keeping requirements. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law. To make a request, email us at the address below.

8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Site is intended for business owners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. LINKS TO OTHER SITES

The Site may link to other websites, such as scheduling tools. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies.

10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
