Privacy Policy

 Last updated September 17th, 2026

​

KY Tax Service & Bookkeeping respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal and financial information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains how KY Tax Service & Bookkeeping ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, protects, and discloses information when you visit www.kytaxprep.com, contact us, or use our tax preparation, tax planning, bookkeeping, and related professional services.

By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect Through Our Website

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring website, pages visited, and general website usage information.

Our website may also use cookies and similar technologies that help the website function properly, understand how visitors use the site, improve performance, and measure website traffic.

If you submit a contact form, call us, email us, or otherwise contact us through the website, we may collect information such as your:

• Name

• Email address

• Telephone number

• Service requested

• Message or other information you choose to provide

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, tax returns, financial account information, tax documents, or other sensitive financial information through the public contact form on our website.

Information We Collect When Providing Professional Services

Tax preparation, bookkeeping, and tax planning require information that is substantially more sensitive than the information normally collected through a website.

When you become a client, we may collect information necessary to provide the services you request, including identification information, Social Security or taxpayer identification numbers, income information, tax documents, financial records, banking or payment information, business records, payroll information, prior tax returns, dependent information, and other information relevant to your tax or financial situation.

Information regarding spouses, dependents, employees, business owners, or other individuals may also be provided when necessary to prepare tax returns or provide bookkeeping and related services.

We may also receive information from third parties when you authorize us to do so or when it is reasonably necessary to provide services to you.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information only for legitimate business and professional purposes, including providing tax preparation, bookkeeping, and tax planning services, responding to inquiries, communicating with clients, preparing and electronically filing tax returns, maintaining business and tax records, providing requested client support, improving our website and services, preventing fraud or security incidents, and complying with legal and regulatory obligations.

Tax return information is subject to special federal protections. Federal law generally restricts tax return preparers from using or disclosing taxpayer information for purposes unrelated to tax return preparation unless an exception applies or appropriate taxpayer consent has been obtained.

How We Protect Taxpayer and Client Information

Because tax and financial information is highly sensitive, we take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect client information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of electronic transmission, computer storage, or information security can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Clients should therefore use the secure communication or document-delivery methods specifically provided or approved by KY Tax Service & Bookkeeping when transmitting sensitive tax or financial information.

Federal law requires professional tax preparers to maintain an information security program appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the client information they handle.

When We May Share Information

We do not sell client tax information.

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to provide services you have requested, including to tax preparation or electronic filing providers, bookkeeping or accounting technology providers, secure document or data-storage providers, information technology providers, government agencies, taxing authorities, professional advisers, or other service providers assisting us in operating our business.

We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, in response to valid legal process, to protect our rights or the security of our clients, or in connection with a legitimate business transaction.

Tax return information will be used or disclosed only as permitted by applicable federal law and regulations.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use services provided by third-party companies.

These companies operate under their own privacy policies and practices. KY Tax Service & Bookkeeping is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites or services that we do not control.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal information.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and understand visitor activity.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some portions of the website function.

Website analytics and technical information are separate from the confidential tax and financial information provided to KY Tax Service & Bookkeeping for professional services.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain required business and tax records, comply with professional and legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect against fraud, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the services provided.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it in accordance with applicable requirements and business practices.

Children's and Dependent Information

Our website and services are not marketed directly to children.

However, tax preparation may require information about a client's children or other dependents. Such information may include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, relationship information, and other information necessary for tax preparation.

We collect this information from parents, guardians, taxpayers, or other authorized individuals as necessary to provide professional services.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information maintained about you, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or information regarding how your personal information is used or disclosed.

Not every privacy law applies to every business or every type of information. We will review and respond to valid privacy requests in accordance with applicable law.

California's comprehensive consumer privacy law applies only to businesses meeting specified statutory criteria, including certain revenue, data-volume, or data-sharing thresholds.

Protecting Yourself When Communicating With Us

Email and ordinary website forms should not be used to transmit Social Security numbers, complete tax returns, banking information, passwords, or other highly sensitive financial information unless KY Tax Service & Bookkeeping has specifically provided an appropriate secure method for doing so.

If you are unsure how to send sensitive documents, please contact us before transmitting them.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, services, business practices, technology, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.

We encourage visitors and clients to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
