Privacy Policy
How information is collected and used on this website.
Last updated: June 2026
Cameron Hodge respects privacy and understands that bookkeeping, tax preparation, and advisory services may involve sensitive personal, business, financial, and taxpayer information. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, shared, protected, and handled when you visit or interact with cameronhodge.com.
This Privacy Policy applies to this website and general website communications only. It does not fully describe every data handling practice that may apply after you become a client. Client records, tax documents, financial information, bookkeeping records, accounting software access, tax return information, portal uploads, payment records, and engagement-related communications may be governed by separate engagement agreements, professional confidentiality obligations, software provider terms, IRS requirements, tax preparer rules, data security procedures, and other applicable standards.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through or related to cameronhodge.com, including information you may provide when you visit the website, use a contact form, click an email link, call the listed phone number, send an inquiry, or otherwise communicate with Cameron Hodge through general website channels.
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, third-party software, accounting platforms, tax software, payroll providers, payment processors, client portals, email providers, hosting providers, cloud storage providers, banks, government websites, or other external services that may have their own privacy policies and terms.
This Policy also does not apply to information collected offline or through a separate client engagement except to the extent specifically stated.
2. Information You May Provide
When you contact Cameron Hodge through the website, email, phone, or other communication method, you may choose to provide information such as:
- Your name.
- Your business name.
- Your phone number.
- Your email address.

- Whether you need bookkeeping, tax preparation, advisory support, cleanup, or related services.
- Information about your current bookkeeping condition.

You should not submit highly sensitive information through the public website contact form or unsecured email unless Cameron Hodge has specifically instructed you to do so through an appropriate channel.
3. Information the Website Contact Form Handles
The website contact form may be designed to open your email application with a draft message addressed to Cameron Hodge. This is intended as a convenience for visitors who want to start a conversation.
Based on the current website design, the form does not store contact form submissions in a website database. Instead, the form opens an email draft using your own email application.
Because email is involved, the information you choose to send may be handled by your email provider, Cameron Hodge’s email provider, internet service providers, device software, and other systems involved in email transmission.
Email may not be fully secure or confidential. Do not send Social Security numbers, full tax documents, bank account numbers, account login credentials, payment card numbers, copies of IDs, payroll records, complete financial statements, or other sensitive documents through unsecured email unless specifically instructed to do so through an appropriate secure method.

Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards may be used to help protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. These safeguards may include measures such as access controls, password protection, secure software, document handling procedures, limited access, client verification, secure portals, multi-factor authentication where appropriate, backup practices, and other security procedures.
No website, email system, software platform, internet transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. You acknowledge that submitting information electronically involves risk.
If you believe sensitive information has been sent improperly, exposed, compromised, or accessed without authorization, contact Cameron Hodge promptly.
