Privacy Policy

Michael E. McCabe, CPA (“we,” “us,” or “the firm”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information this website collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies to memccabecpa.com (the “Site”).

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact forms: your name, email address, phone number (optional), the topic you select, and your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Booking: if you schedule a discovery call, scheduling is handled by Calendly, which collects your name, email, and selected time under its own privacy policy.
• Documents: if you choose to share tax returns or financial documents for a complimentary review, they are used only to perform that review and are treated as confidential.

Information collected automatically

• Analytics (only with your consent): if you accept cookies on our banner, we use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics 4) to understand how the Site is used — pages visited, approximate location, device type. If you decline, these tools do not run.
• Local preferences: your cookie choice and accessibility settings (text size, contrast, and similar) are stored in your browser’s localStorage. They stay on your device and are not transmitted to us.

How we use information

• To respond to inquiries and schedule and conduct consultations;
• To perform services you request, including complimentary return reviews;
• To operate, secure, and improve the Site (analytics, with consent);
• To comply with legal and professional obligations that apply to CPAs.

What we don’t do

• We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising;
• We do not send marketing email without your consent;
• We do not use client tax information for any purpose other than the engagement, consistent with IRC §7216.

Sharing

Information may be shared only with service providers who help operate the Site and practice (for example: website hosting, scheduling, and email providers), under confidentiality obligations; or where required by law, regulation, or professional standards.

Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access to it, to request correction or deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, email mike@memccabecpa.com or call (310) 773-1964. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by law.

Retention & security

Inquiry information is kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry or as professional record-keeping standards require. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards; no method of transmission is 100% secure, so please don’t send sensitive financial details through the contact form — Mike will provide a secure channel for documents.

Children

The Site is intended for business owners and adults; we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
