BRAIDAN Business Solutions ("BRAIDAN," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of Clients, prospective Clients, website visitors, and individuals whose information may be processed in connection with our services.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information BRAIDAN may collect, how we collect and use it, when it may be disclosed, how long it may be retained, how we seek to protect it, and the choices individuals may have regarding their information.
This Policy applies to BRAIDAN's website and to information processed in connection with website design, hosting, maintenance, bookkeeping, business support, and related services.
Depending on how an individual interacts with BRAIDAN, we may collect:
BRAIDAN does not require visitors to provide financial records through the public website contact form.
BRAIDAN intends to use Stripe to process subscription payments, one-time payments, and other authorized charges.
Payment-card information is submitted to the payment processor rather than stored directly by BRAIDAN as a full card number.
BRAIDAN may receive limited transaction information such as:
Stripe's processing of payment information is also governed by Stripe's own privacy and security practices.
When a Client purchases bookkeeping or related services, BRAIDAN may process financial and business information reasonably necessary to perform those services.
Depending on the engagement, this may include:
BRAIDAN will seek to limit collection and access to information reasonably necessary to perform the authorized service.
BRAIDAN does not ask Clients to send online-banking passwords or full banking login credentials through ordinary email, SMS, WhatsApp, or public website forms.
Where reasonably available, BRAIDAN will favor:
The goal is to use the least amount of access reasonably necessary to provide the contracted service.
BRAIDAN may collect information:
BRAIDAN does not intentionally obtain confidential Client financial information from unauthorized sources.
BRAIDAN may use information to:
Client financial information will not be used by BRAIDAN for behavioral advertising.
BRAIDAN does not sell personal information.
BRAIDAN also does not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
BRAIDAN may disclose information to service providers or contractors when reasonably necessary to operate the business or provide an authorized service. Such operational disclosure is different from selling personal information.
If BRAIDAN's practices materially change in the future, this Policy and any legally required privacy controls will be updated before or when those practices are implemented as required by applicable law.
BRAIDAN's website may use limited cookies or similar technologies that are reasonably necessary for:
BRAIDAN does not currently use Meta Pixel for cross-context behavioral advertising.
BRAIDAN also will not state that Google Analytics or another analytics platform is in use unless that technology is actually installed and operating.
If BRAIDAN later implements analytics, advertising pixels, or additional tracking technologies, this Privacy Policy and any required notice or consent mechanisms will be updated accordingly.
Some browsers allow users to send a "Do Not Track" or similar signal.
Because BRAIDAN does not currently use its website for cross-site behavioral advertising, traditional Do Not Track signals do not presently change BRAIDAN's website practices.
BRAIDAN will update this disclosure if its tracking practices materially change.
Third-party providers used to operate particular website functions may collect information under their own privacy practices when a visitor interacts with their services.
BRAIDAN may use third-party providers that are reasonably necessary to operate the business and provide Client services.
Depending on the services involved, categories of providers may include:
These providers may process information as necessary to perform their services and may also be subject to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.
BRAIDAN seeks to provide third parties only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
Information submitted to request a quote, ask a question, or obtain a service will primarily be used to respond to that request and manage the business relationship.
BRAIDAN does not treat submission of an ordinary contact form as automatic consent to receive unrelated promotional SMS marketing.
BRAIDAN does not currently plan to use SMS marketing at launch.
If BRAIDAN later sends promotional email or SMS campaigns, it will implement applicable consent and opt-out mechanisms.
Service-related messages, billing notices, security notices, or communications necessary to perform contracted services are different from promotional marketing.
BRAIDAN seeks to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information processed.
Security measures may include:
Sensitive financial documents should not be stored permanently in personal email accounts, SMS, WhatsApp, or other unapproved personal systems.
No internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security, and BRAIDAN cannot guarantee that a security incident will never occur.
BRAIDAN does not intend to retain personal information indefinitely merely because storage is available.
Retention depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:
When information is no longer reasonably needed and no legal or legitimate retention requirement applies, BRAIDAN may securely delete or dispose of it.
Website files associated with a suspended account are handled according to BRAIDAN's Terms of Service.
Generally:
This website-file schedule does not automatically apply to bookkeeping and financial records.
Bookkeeping records and financial documents may require different retention periods.
When bookkeeping services end, BRAIDAN will take reasonable steps to provide or make available applicable Client records and reports and revoke access that is no longer reasonably necessary.
BRAIDAN's normal operational transition period for bookkeeping information that is no longer actively needed may be up to approximately 90 days after the bookkeeping relationship ends.
After that period, operational copies that are no longer reasonably necessary may be securely deleted, except when information must or reasonably should be retained because of:
Additional information is provided in BRAIDAN's Bookkeeping Data Retention & Security Policy.
Individuals may contact BRAIDAN to request, as reasonably applicable:
Requests may be subject to identity verification and applicable legal exceptions.
BRAIDAN may need to retain certain information when reasonably necessary to:
Privacy requests may be submitted using the contact information in Section 23 of this Policy.
Certain California privacy laws provide additional rights to individuals when the business processing their information meets the law's applicable definitions and thresholds.
If and when BRAIDAN becomes subject to additional requirements under the California Consumer Privacy Act or other applicable California privacy law, BRAIDAN will implement the legally required procedures and disclosures.
Depending on applicable law and circumstances, California rights may include rights to:
Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit rights provided by applicable law.
BRAIDAN does not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Where applicable law requires a business to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, including qualifying Global Privacy Control signals, BRAIDAN will implement and honor those requirements if and when they apply to BRAIDAN's activities.
Because BRAIDAN's current stated practice is not to sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is currently no separate sale/sharing opt-out transaction required for those practices.
BRAIDAN's services are intended for businesses and adults capable of entering business relationships.
BRAIDAN's website is not directed to children under 13, and BRAIDAN does not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website.
If BRAIDAN learns that such information was collected inappropriately, reasonable steps will be taken to address and delete it when appropriate.
BRAIDAN's website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.
BRAIDAN does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Individuals should review the applicable third party's privacy policy before providing information through those services.
BRAIDAN may update this Privacy Policy when its services, technology, providers, information practices, security practices, or applicable legal requirements change.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy will identify the most recent revision.
Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent for a material change, BRAIDAN will provide that notice or obtain that consent as required.
