Except as set forth below, we do not sell or share your personal information with anyone other than our own internal personnel and the unaffiliated sponsoring accountants and accounting firms, and certain authorized third parties who may be retained to assist in providing services to you. As part of this process, those third parties agree to keep your information confidential and agree not to share it with any third party without your express permission.
Note that we may contact you directly from time to time with offers and/or promotions which we believe may be of interest to you. You are free to opt-out of receiving these communications at any time by sending an e-mail to totalaccountants@infra-strategy.com with "Please remove me from Total Accountants Newsletter List" in the subject line, or by checking the appropriate box below and filling in your email address.
What types of information about you do we collect through this website?
We collect personal information about you (and certain of your family members) in three principal ways: (1) information you provide us through this website; (2) information that is automatically generated when you use our website; and (3) information we obtain from third parties.
With respect to information you provide us on this website, we may collect the following information from you:
- Your contact and other personally identifying information
- Similar information about your business
- Information regarding your financial and professional services needs, which may include general information about your business finances
We also collect certain information about you automatically when you visit our website. Through our use of "cookies" (cookies are electronic identifiers that are transferred automatically to your computer through your browser and they allow our computers to save certain information you provide us and store information about you so we can recognize you when you visit our website in the future). Other types of information we collect automatically include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (which allows us to understand how you use our site and to enable us to make changes to our site in order to improve your user experience); information regarding your computer and your connection to our site (such as your browser type, operating system, and platform); and your user history to, through, and away from our site, including your session information, page loading times, page errors and broken links, the length of your visits to specific pages within our site, and other information related to your experience on our site.
From time to time, we collect information about you from third parties, such as updated contact information, and search term and search result information from your web searches.
All of the information we obtain about you is stored securely on our website, and we use it only to evaluate your situation and provide professional services to you, to allow unaffiliated sponsoring accountants and accounting firms to evaluate your needs and provide professional services to you, and to provide ongoing communications to you in furtherance of these professional services. Except as set forth elsewhere in this policy, we do not sell or share your personal information with anyone other than our own internal personnel and the unaffiliated sponsoring accountants and accounting firms, and certain authorized third parties who may be retained to assist in providing such services. As part of this process, those third parties agree to keep your information confidential and agree not to share it with any third party without your express permission.
We only disclose any personally identifiable information about individual users in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, or when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, valid legal process, a court order, a current judicial proceeding, or to protect our rights or property.
We disclose personally identifiable individual information and the other information you provide us to unaffiliated sponsoring accountants and accounting firms in order for them to contact you and to determine whether to handle your case. As part of this process, those accountants or accounting firms agree to keep your information confidential and agree not to share it with any third party without your express permission.
We may also provide aggregate statistical information (such as the city or state you live in) to third parties to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. We will not, however, disclose any personally identifiable information about you to these parties.
How do you protect my personal information?
Please understand that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online (such as through an email message or through filling out an online form), this information cannot be made 100 percent secure and, in some cases, that information can be intercepted, collected and used by others. However, we work hard to protect your information at all times, and we protect your information in several ways. We store your information on a secure server that only TotalAccountants.com and its authorized personnel can access through a password. Additionally, we encrypt your information to prevent third parties without authorization from intercepting your information when it is in transit to us.
