Privacy policy.

Last Updated: November 2025

3 Lakes Bookkeeping LLC (“we,” “our,” “us”) respects your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal and business financial information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and safeguard information when you visit our website or work with us as a client.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide:
We may collect information that you directly provide to us, including your name, business name, email, phone number, mailing address, and any documents or financial records shared in connection with bookkeeping, payroll, or advisory services.

Website Analytics:
We may collect non-personal technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages viewed. This helps us improve site performance and user experience.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

  • Provide bookkeeping, payroll, advisory, and support services

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you

  • Manage client records

  • Comply with applicable laws and industry standards

  • Improve our website and client experience

We do not sell your information to anyone.

Client Confidentiality

Confidentiality is core to our work.
We will not disclose that you are a client or share your financial information without your explicit permission, except where required by law.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data, including:

  • Secure, encrypted accounting and document-storage systems

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) on systems containing financial data

  • No emailing of sensitive data — secure upload portals are used instead

  • Ongoing cybersecurity + phishing awareness training for all employees

  • Internal access controls so only authorized staff may view client data

We continuously review and update our security measures.

Use of Third-Party Tools

We may use reputable third-party service providers (such as QuickBooks Online, payroll processors, and secure document platforms). These services maintain their own encryption and security protocols.

We only share what is necessary for the tool to function and never for advertising or marketing resale.

Data Retention

We retain records as required by law or as needed to support our services. When records are no longer needed, they are securely deleted or destroyed.

Your Rights

You may request to:

  • Review or update your personal information

  • Ask how your data is being used

  • Request deletion of information no longer required
