Privacy Policy

Who we are

AccruLynx is a professional services practice offering accounting, assurance support, advisory, tax, and business services outsourcing. References to “AccruLynx,” “we,” or “us” mean the AccruLynx practice operating accrulynx.com and related client work.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to information we obtain through accrulynx.com (including the contact form), email and other messages you send us, calls or messaging apps you use to reach us, proposals and engagement materials, and the delivery of our professional services.

Client engagements may also be governed by a separate engagement letter, confidentiality terms, or other written agreement. Where those documents address how information is handled for a specific matter, they control for that matter to the extent they conflict with or are more specific than this policy.

This page describes AccruLynx’s practices. It is not a warranty, guarantee, third-party certification, or audit report.

What this policy does not cover

This policy does not cover websites, apps, marketplaces, social networks, or other services we do not operate—even if you reach us through them or click a link from our site. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

If you hire or message AccruLynx through a third-party platform, that platform’s rules also apply to information you share there.

Information we collect

What we collect depends on how you interact with us. It may include:

• Contact and identity details you provide — such as name, email address, organization, and, when you give them, phone number or role.
• Inquiry and correspondence content — including website form submissions (name, organization, email, inquiry type, and message), emails, and other messages.
• Website technical data — limited information related to your use of the site, used to help keep it secure and reduce misuse.
• Business and engagement information — details needed to discuss, propose, contract for, invoice, and deliver services (for example entity details, records you provide for the work, deadlines, and related workpapers).
• Billing and administrative information — billing contacts, invoices, payment status, and similar records needed to manage the commercial relationship. We do not ask you to submit payment card numbers through the website contact form.

How we obtain information

We collect information directly from you and people acting on your behalf—such as when you submit a form, email us, speak with our team, share files for an engagement, or introduce colleagues or advisors.

We may also receive information from service providers that help us operate our website and communications, and from public or third-party sources when relevant to a legitimate business purpose (for example confirming organization details you have already shared).

How we use information

We use this information to:

• Respond to inquiries and route them to the right people on our team.
• Deliver and administer professional services under agreed scope.
• Prepare proposals, engagement documents, invoices, and related correspondence.
• Communicate about inquiries, ongoing work, deadlines, and follow-up.
• Protect our website, systems, and communications against spam, abuse, and misuse.
• Meet legal, regulatory, professional, and recordkeeping obligations.
• Handle privacy requests and related questions.

Service and transactional communications

We use contact details to respond to you and to send messages related to your inquiry or engagement (for example confirmations, scheduling, deliverables, and billing). We do not sell contact lists or use your information for third-party advertising.

Why we process information

We process information because it is needed to respond to you, perform a contract or take steps before entering one, run our practice securely and efficiently, comply with law, or—where required—because you have asked us to do so or given consent.

Client work and confidentiality

When you engage AccruLynx, we treat information shared for that work as confidential and use it to deliver the agreed services, coordinate with people you authorize, and maintain professional workpapers and records.

Please share only what is needed for the engagement. Do not send payment card numbers, government ID numbers, or other highly sensitive data through unsecured channels unless we have expressly agreed on a secure method.

Who we share information with

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for advertising.

We may share information with service providers who help us host our website, send or receive communications, store files, support billing, or support operations—and only as needed for those purposes. We may also share information when you ask us to (for example with your auditor, counsel, or another advisor), when required by law or professional obligation, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

Service providers may process information in more than one country. Information handled by those providers may also be subject to their own privacy policies, terms, and security practices. AccruLynx does not control and is not responsible for third-party policies or independently operated systems beyond what applicable law requires of us.

Business transfers

If AccruLynx is involved in a reorganization, merger, sale, financing, or similar transaction, information described in this policy may be transferred as part of that matter, subject to applicable law and any relevant agreements.

How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above. Website inquiries and routine correspondence are typically retained while we respond and manage follow-up. Engagement files and professional workpapers may be retained longer where needed for delivery, quality review, dispute resolution, or legal and professional recordkeeping. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it where practicable.

Cookies

This site may use cookies. We do not use advertising trackers.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to our size and the nature of the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Sensitive information

Our website contact form is not intended for highly sensitive personal data. Please do not submit government ID numbers, payment card details, health information, or similar sensitive data in form fields unless we specifically arrange a secure alternative for an engagement.

Accuracy and what you send us

Please provide information that is accurate and limited to what is needed. You are responsible for information you choose to send us and for obtaining any permission required before sharing someone else’s information.

Children

Our website and services are intended for business and professional audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will review deletion as appropriate.

Automated decisions

We do not use automated decision-making on this website to produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live and how we interact, you may be able to ask us to:

• Confirm whether we hold personal information about you and provide access to it.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Delete information, subject to legal, professional, or operational limits.
• Provide a copy of information you gave us, where applicable.
• Limit or object to certain uses.
• Withdraw consent where we rely on consent.

United States privacy rights

Residents of California and certain other U.S. states may have additional rights to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, and to opt out of sale or sharing. AccruLynx does not sell personal information and does not share it for advertising. Because we do not sell or share personal information for advertising, we do not provide a separate “do not sell or share” link.

Over the past 12 months, in connection with website use, communications, and client relationships, we may have collected the categories described above, used them for the purposes described above, and disclosed them to service providers for those business purposes.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights available under applicable law.

To make a request, email privacy@AccruLynx.com or use Privacy Request on our contact form. We may verify your identity (for example by confirming control of the email address used in the request). Authorized agents may submit requests where the law allows; we may require proof of authorization. If we deny a request, you may ask us to reconsider by replying to our response. We respond within the timeframes required by applicable law when those laws apply to us.

Europe, the United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions

If you are in Europe, the United Kingdom, or another place with comparable privacy laws, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority where you live, work, or where you believe an issue occurred. To exercise rights with AccruLynx, use the contact methods below.

How to contact us about privacy

Email privacy@AccruLynx.com or submit a Privacy Request on our contact form. Please say what you are asking for (for example access, correction, or deletion) and use an email address we can use to verify you.

If we cannot verify a request, we may ask for more information or decline it as permitted by law. Some requests may be limited where we must keep records for legal, professional, security, or operational reasons.

International processing

AccruLynx works with clients and service providers across borders. Information may be processed outside the country where you live. Where the law requires additional safeguards for those transfers, we take steps appropriate to the situation and to the tools and providers we use.

Limitation of responsibility

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AccruLynx is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from collection, use, disclosure, loss, unauthorized access, delay, or other processing of information described in this policy—including issues arising from service providers, third-party platforms, transmission over the internet, or your decision to share information with us.

We do not warrant that information handling will be uninterrupted, error-free, or immune from unauthorized access. Nothing in this policy creates duties beyond AccruLynx’s practices described here, or expands liability beyond what a signed engagement agreement or applicable law expressly requires. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent allowed by law.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows the latest revision. Continued use of our website or services after a change means you acknowledge the updated policy.
