Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
We only collect information about you that is necessary to provide our services, maintain site security, and understand how visitors use our website.
Personal Data via Forms: When you fill out a contact form or request an appointment on our Site, we collect personal information you voluntarily provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and any financial or business details you choose to include in your message.
Automated Data Collection (Cookies & Analytics): We use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns (e.g., pages visited, time spent on site). This data is aggregated and anonymized; it does not identify you personally.
Security Data: We use Google reCAPTCHA on our forms to prevent spam and abuse. This service checks if you are a human visitor by analyzing hardware, software, and behaviour data.
We use the information we collect to:
Respond to your inquiries, contact requests, and appointment bookings.
Monitor and analyze website usage and trends to improve user experience (via Google Analytics and Google Search Console).
Protect our website from spam, fraud, and malicious activity (via Google reCAPTCHA).
Our website is built on a standard WordPress platform. Because we do not offer user accounts, customer logins, or shopping carts on this Site, we do not deploy persistent tracking cookies for retail or interactive features.
However, Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA utilize cookies to track anonymous traffic data and verify human users. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.
Our Site contains links to our secure client portal hosted by a third party, CCH iFirm (cchifirm.ca).
Please be aware that once you click a link to log into the client portal, you are leaving our website. Any data, documents, or personal information you submit through the CCH iFirm portal is governed strictly by the privacy policies, terms of service, and secure cloud infrastructure of Wolters Kluwer Canada and Abacus’s private client engagement agreements. We do not store or process portal login credentials or portal files on this website.
We retain contact and appointment form submissions only as long as necessary to fulfill the request, service your account, or comply with professional accounting retention regulations.
If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
