Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Build Your Books (“we,” “us,” “our”) provides bookkeeping, accounting and outsourced CFO services to businesses. This policy explains what information we collect through www.buildyourbooks.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use a contact form on this website, we collect your name, email address, phone number and message. If you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name, email address and comment.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and security services record technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. This is used to keep the site secure and working properly.

We do not ask for, and you should not send us, sensitive financial information (such as bank or tax account numbers) through this website. We will provide a secure method once we are working together.

How we use your information

  • To respond to your inquiry and schedule a conversation
  • To provide and improve our services
  • To protect the website from spam, fraud and security threats
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses cookies that are necessary for it to work, and, with your choice, optional cookies. You can review or change your choices at any time using the cookie settings button shown on the site. Your browser settings also let you block or delete cookies.

Services we use

We use trusted third-party services to run this website. They receive only the information they need to perform their service:

  • Website hosting and security (Bluehost and MalCare) to host the site and block malicious traffic
  • Spam protection (Akismet by Automattic) to check form submissions and comments for spam
  • Google Fonts to display the site’s fonts
  • Website statistics (Jetpack Stats by Automattic) to see how many people visit our pages, in aggregate
  • Google reviews widget (Trustindex) to display our Google reviews
  • Social media links (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube). These sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you leave our website.

How long we keep information

We keep inquiry information only as long as needed to respond and to maintain a business relationship, or as required by law. Comments are kept until they are removed.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share it). Depending on where you live, including Colorado and California, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
