Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly when you engage our services or contact us, including:

• Identification: name, email, phone number, mailing address.
• Tax and financial data: Social Security Number / EIN, W-2s, 1099s, bank statements, prior tax returns, and supporting documents you upload to our secure portal.
• Business information: entity type, ownership structure, payroll records, and bookkeeping data.
• Communications: messages, emails, call notes, and consultation details.

We also collect limited technical data automatically, such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, to operate and improve the website.

We use your information only for legitimate professional purposes, including:

• Preparing and filing tax returns and related forms.
• Providing bookkeeping, payroll, advisory, and other engaged services.
• Communicating with you about your account, deadlines, and engagements.
• Complying with legal, regulatory, and professional standards (IRS, AICPA, state boards).
• Improving our services and securing our systems.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only when necessary, including:

• With government agencies (e.g., IRS, state tax authorities) when filing returns on your behalf.
• With trusted service providers under confidentiality agreements (e.g., e-file transmitters, secure document storage, payroll processors).
• When required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
• With your explicit written consent — for example, sending records to a lender or attorney you designate.

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including:

• Encrypted client portal for document upload and storage.
• TLS encryption for data in transit.
• Multi-factor authentication on internal systems.
• Strict access controls — only authorized personnel access client data.

No system is 100% secure, but we work continuously to protect your information.

We retain tax records, working papers, and related documents for a minimum of seven (7) years to comply with IRS guidance and professional standards. After that period, records are securely destroyed unless a longer retention period is required by law.

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of information we are not legally required to retain.
• Withdraw consent for non-essential communications at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hi@dushyanthirwani.com. Residents of California, Virginia, and other states with applicable privacy laws may have additional rights.

Our website uses minimal cookies and may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without losing access to our public content.

Our site may link to third-party services (e.g., scheduling tools, document portals). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies before sharing information.

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of our services after changes means you accept the updated policy.
