Privacy Policy

Northline Accountants is a brand and website operated by Advertising Apex LLC ("Advertising Apex," "Northline," "we," "us," or "our"). We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to visitors in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere who use northlineaccountants.com (the "Site").

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you complete our contact form or otherwise reach out, we collect the details you choose to provide — typically your name, business name, email address, and the contents of your message. If you engage us as a client, any financial information required to perform our services is governed by your separate engagement agreement, not this website policy.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically records standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, for security and performance. We do not use this to identify you personally.

Cookies and local storage

The Site itself does not set advertising or tracking cookies. We use your browser's local storage only to remember a preference such as your light/dark theme. If we add analytics or advertising tools in the future (for example, Google Analytics or Google Ads conversion tracking), we will update this policy and, where required, request your consent.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and schedule a consultation;
• To provide, and follow up about, the services you request;
• To operate, secure, and improve the Site;
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate our business (such as our website host and email provider), and only as needed to provide the service. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Data retention

We keep contact-form submissions only as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry, and to meet our record-keeping and legal obligations, after which we delete or anonymize them.

Security

The Site is served over encrypted HTTPS, and we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent. Residents of Canada have rights under PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws; residents of California and certain other U.S. states have rights under their state privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by law.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for businesses and adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
