At Hashbooks, accessible from https://hashbooks.site, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors and clients. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Hashbooks and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us when requesting a proposal, contact inquiries, or during onboarding. This includes personal identifiers (such as names, emails, phone numbers), business info (such as company name, estimated transaction volumes, and platform selections), and read-only accounting credentials or statement records required to perform our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our bookkeeping and financial advisory services.
• Analyze business transaction volumes for custom proposals.
• Reconcile bank/credit card statements and compile accurate financial reports.
• Communicate with you, including for customer service, updates, and marketing communications.
• Send emails, invoices, and process payments.
• Find and prevent fraud.

3. Data Storage, Encryption & Security

We implement bank-level 256-bit encryption protocols to protect your financial and business data. Read-only integrations are configured with accounting systems where applicable (e.g. Plaid, direct bank read-only feeds), and we do not store primary credentials. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, Hashbooks uses 'cookies'. These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

5. GDPR and CCPA Data Protection Rights

We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Depending on your location (such as California or the European Economic Area), you may be entitled to the following:

• The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
• The right to erasure – You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing – You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to object to processing – You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability – You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

6. Third-Party Privacy Policies

Hashbooks' Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party servers (such as Calendly or payment processors) for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

7. Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. Hashbooks does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
