Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026. This policy explains how Andrew B. Ellis, CPA ("I," "me") collects and uses information through tnfscpa.com, phone, text and email.

1. Information I collect

  • Information you give me: name, business name, email, phone number, license details and anything you include in a form, email, text or call.
  • Client documents: financial records you send so I can prepare your financial statements.
  • Website and device data: pages visited, referring site, approximate location, browser and device type, collected through cookies and similar tools.
  • Call and text records: phone number, date, time, length and source of calls and texts. Calls may be recorded for quality and record-keeping.
  • Public records: contractor license information published by state licensing boards, which I may use to contact contractors about license-related services.

2. How I use it

  • To respond to you and provide the services you request
  • To send reminders about license renewals, limit increases and related services
  • To understand which pages and ads bring in inquiries, and to improve the website
  • To meet legal, professional and record-keeping obligations

3. Client confidentiality

Information you share as a client is kept confidential as required by the professional standards that govern CPAs. I don't disclose it without your consent unless required by law or professional obligations, such as peer review.

4. Cookies, analytics and advertising

This site uses Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads conversion tracking, CallRail call tracking and Google reCAPTCHA. These tools may set cookies and may show you a different phone number, so I can see which page or ad led to your call. You can block cookies in your browser or opt out of Google ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.

5. Who I share information with

I don't sell your personal information. I share it only with service providers that help run my practice, such as website hosting (Squarespace), call and text tracking (CallRail), email delivery, analytics and advertising (Google). They may use it only to provide those services. I may also disclose information if required by law.

6. Text messages

If you text me or give me your mobile number, I may text you about your inquiry or service. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Mobile numbers and text opt-in consent are never sold or shared with third parties for their marketing.

7. Email

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time with the link in the email or by replying "unsubscribe." I'll still send messages needed for work you've hired me to do.

8. Data security and retention

I use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. I keep client records as long as professional standards and the law require, and other information only as long as needed for the purposes above.

9. Your choices

  • Ask what information I have about you, or ask me to correct or delete it, subject to legal and professional record-keeping requirements
  • Opt out of texts (reply STOP) or emails (unsubscribe link)
  • Block or delete cookies in your browser

10. Children

This site and my services are for businesses and adults. I don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed.
