We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it by complying with this privacy policy (“Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide (“Personal Information”) on the Jireh.CPA website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information. It also describes your choices regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update it.
This Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regard to the information that they shared and/or collect on Jireh.CPA. This policy does not apply to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User,”“you,” or “your”) and Jireh CPA Co. (doing business as “Jireh,” “we,” “us” or “our”). If you enter into this agreement on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this agreement, in which case the terms “User,” “you,” or “your” shall refer to such entity.
If you do not have such authority or do not agree with the terms of this agreement, you must not accept this agreement and may not access and use the Website and Services. By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies we do not own or control or individuals we do not employ or manage.
Collection of Personal Information
You can access and use the Website and Services without telling us whom you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the features offered on the Website, you may be asked to provide certain Personal Information (for example, your name and e-mail address).
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide us when you create an account or fill out any forms on the Website. This information may include contact information (such as email address, phone number, etc.).
You can choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the features on the Website or receive communications from our firm. Users still determining what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us at Jeff@Jireh.CPA.
Privacy of Children
We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under 18. If you have reason to believe that a child under 18 has provided Personal Information to us through the Website and Services, please contact us at Jeff@Jireh.CPA to request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Website and Services without their permission. We also ask that all parents and legal guardians overseeing the care of children take the necessary precautions to ensure that their children are instructed never to give out Personal Information when online without their permission.
Use and Processing of Collected Information.
We act as a data controller and a data processor when handling Personal Information unless we have entered into a data processing agreement with you. In this case, you would be the data controller, and we would be the data processor.
Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving Personal Information. For example, we act as a data controller when we ask you to submit your personal information necessary to ensure your access and use of the Website and Services. In such instances, we are data controllers because we determine the purposes and means of processing Personal Information.
We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the Website and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted Personal Information, which is processed only per your instructions. In such instances, the User providing Personal Information acts as a data controller.
To make the Website and Services available to you or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect and use certain Personal Information. If you provide the information we request, we may be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:
- Send product and service updates via email and postal services.
- Communications from a third-party provider, such as Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, or a similar service.
- Respond to inquiries and offer support
- Run and operate the Website and Services
- Provide, operate, and maintain our Website or Services
- Improve, personalize, and expand our Website or Services
- Understand and analyze how you use our Website or Services
- Develop new products, services, features, and functionality
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are located in the world, and if one of the following applies: (i) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; (ii) provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by a third party or by us.
Note that under some legislations, we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting out without relying on consent or other legal bases. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, mainly whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement or a condition necessary to enter into a contract.
Disclosure of Information
Depending on the requested Services or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any Service you have requested, we may share your information with our affiliates, contracted companies, and service providers (collectively, “Service Providers”) we rely upon to assist in the operation of the Website and Services available to you and whose privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies concerning Personal Information. We will not share any personally identifiable information with third parties and will not share any information with unaffiliated third parties.
Service Providers are not authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. Service Providers are only given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose any of the provided information for their own marketing or other purposes.
Retention of Information
We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, and unless a more extended retention period is required or permitted by law may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
Cookies
Our Website and Services use “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.
We may use cookies to collect, store, and track information for security, personalization, and statistical purposes. Please note that you can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies.
Data Analytics
Our Website and Services may use third-party analytics tools that use cookies, web beacons, or similar information-gathering technologies to collect standard internet activity and usage information. The information gathered is used to compile statistical reports on User activity, such as how often Users visit our Website and Services, what pages they visit and for how long, etc. In addition, we use the information obtained from these analytics tools to monitor the performance and improve our Website and Services.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information about a website. Tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal still needs to be uniform. As a result, the Website and Services still need to be set up to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even so, as described in more detail throughout this Policy, we limit our use and collection of your Personal Information. For a description of Do Not Track protocols for browsers and mobile devices or to learn more about the choices available to you, visit www.internetcookies.com.
Social Media Features
Our Website and Services may include social media features, such as the Facebook and Twitter buttons, Share This buttons, etc. (collectively, “Social Media Features”). These Social Media Features may collect your IP address and what page you are visiting on our Website and Services and may set a cookie to enable Social Media Features to function properly. Social Media Features are hosted by their respective providers or directly on our Website and Services. Therefore, your interactions with these Social Media Features are governed by the privacy policy of their providers.
Email Marketing
We offer electronic newsletters, alerts, and other communications to which you may voluntarily subscribe at any time. We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential. We will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as allowed in the information use and processing section or to utilize a third-party provider to send such emails. We will maintain the information sent via e-mail by applicable laws and regulations.
In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all e-mails sent from us will clearly state who the e-mail is from and provide clear information on contacting the sender. You may choose to stop receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails or by contacting us at Jeff@Jireh.CPA. However, you will continue to receive essential transactional emails from us.
Push Notifications
We may offer push notifications to which you may also voluntarily subscribe anytime. To ensure push notifications reach the correct devices, we rely on a token unique to your device, which is issued by the operating system of your device. While accessing a list of device tokens is possible, they will not reveal your identity, unique device ID, or contact information to us. We will maintain the information sent via e-mail by applicable laws and regulations. If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving push notifications, adjust your device settings accordingly.
Links to Other Resources
The Website and Services contain links to other resources not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other resources or third parties. Therefore, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and Services and to read the privacy statements of every resource that may collect Personal Information.
Information Security
We secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal Information in our control and custody. However, internet or wireless network data transmission cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that (i) there are security and privacy limitations of the internet which are beyond our control; (ii) the security, integrity, and privacy of any information and data exchanged between you and the Website, and Services cannot be guaranteed; and (iii) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best efforts.
As the security of Personal Information depends in part on the safety of the device you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect your credentials, please take appropriate measures to protect this information.
Data Breach
In the event we become aware that the security of the Website and Services has been compromised or Users’ Personal Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe there is a moderate risk of harm to the User due to the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will send you an email.
Email Communication
We will attempt to keep you updated on current developments relevant to our business. This may include but is not limited to changes to tax law, accounting pronouncements, economic policy, and business news. We will not be held responsible for the non-receipt of this information, regardless of the cause, or for the User not reading or understanding the information sent. The User is responsible for contracting Jireh with questions regarding their situation.
Changes and Amendments
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the Website and Services at any time at our discretion. When we do, we will post a notification on the main page of the Website. We may also provide notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such as through the contact information you have provided.
Unless otherwise specified, an updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Policy. Your continued use of the Website and Services after the effective date of the revised Policy (or such other act specified at that time) will constitute your consent to those changes. However, we will not, without your permission, use your Personal Information in a manner materially different than what was stated at the time your Personal Information was collected.
