3. Information Submitted Through Forms

When you submit information through a form on our website, the information may be transmitted to us and/or to service providers that help us operate our website, forms, scheduling, communications, CRM, or other business systems.

Please do not submit highly sensitive information through a general website contact form unless we specifically request it through an appropriate secure method.

4. SMS Opt-In & Text Messaging

If you provide your phone number and separately opt in through our website, we collect and use it to send you SMS text messages. Depending on which option you select, this may include non-marketing messages, such as appointment confirmations, document requests, and engagement status updates, and, if you separately opt in, marketing messages, such as seasonal tax tips, deadline reminders, and limited-time consultation offers.

SMS opt-in is never required to use our services or to submit a form on this website. You may opt into either, both, or neither type of message. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP at any time to opt out of a given message type, or HELP for assistance.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function properly, remember preferences, understand website usage, and improve performance.

You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party providers to support website functionality, scheduling, communications, analytics, hosting, CRM, payment processing, or other business operations.

These providers may process information on our behalf and may have their own privacy policies governing their handling of information.

7. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
