Privacy policy.
Last updated August 23, 2026. This policy describes how JRK Financial collects, uses, and safeguards information from visitors and clients.
Who we are
JRK Financial (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation services to small businesses. We are located in the Kalamazoo, Michigan area and serve clients nationwide. Our mailing address is 1971 E Beltline Ave NE #916 Ste 106, Grand Rapids, MI 49525. This policy applies to information collected through www.jrkfinancial.com.
Information we collect
Information you provide. When you submit a contact form, book a consultation, or otherwise reach out, we receive the information you choose to share — typically your name, email address, phone number, business name, and the details of your message.
Secure Client Hub information. Invited client users may provide account identity details, onboarding acknowledgments and comments, and support-request messages. The Client Hub does not accept file attachments and should not be used to send Social Security numbers, bank credentials, tax documents, passwords, or authentication codes.
Automatically collected information. We use standard web analytics provided by our analytics provider to understand how visitors use our site. This may include your IP address, device type, browser, pages visited, and referring URLs. Analytics cookies are used to measure site performance in aggregate.
Third-party services
Our website uses a small number of trusted service providers to operate. These include providers for appointment scheduling, secure video meetings, website analytics, secure sign-in and data storage for the Client Hub, email notifications, and our on-site chat assistant. Meetings are not recorded by default. Please don’t share sensitive financial, tax, identity, account, or payment information in the chat assistant. These providers may set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies.
How we use information
- To respond to inquiries and provide the services you request.
- To communicate with prospective and current clients.
- To provide invitation-only onboarding, scheduling, and support workflows.
- To operate, secure, and improve our website.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Text messaging (SMS)
If you give us your mobile number and agree to receive text messages, we may text you about your account — service notifications, document requests, filing and payroll deadline reminders, appointment confirmations, one-time verification codes for our client portal, and replies to messages you send us. Consent is collected through a separate, unchecked box on our client information form during onboarding, or noted in your client file when you tell us directly. Agreeing to text messages is never a condition of purchasing any service.
We do not send marketing or promotional text messages, and we do not include account balances, account numbers, or figures from your books in a text message. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, START to resume, or HELP for help.
Mobile numbers collected for text messaging are not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their marketing purposes. Mobile numbers and message content are shared only with the messaging providers who deliver our messages on our behalf. Full details are in our SMS Terms.
How we protect information
We use industry-standard safeguards — including encrypted file sharing, secure cloud platforms, and access controls — to protect client information. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us.
Data retention
Contact-form submissions are delivered to our business mailbox and may remain there according to mailbox settings and business needs. Chat messages are processed by the providers described above, whose handling and retention are governed by their terms and configured settings. Retention of client records varies by engagement and record type. Revoked Client Hub memberships, publication history, and audit events may be retained to document access and security activity; clients may contact us with questions about a specific record.
Your choices
You may opt out of analytics tracking by installing the opt-out browser add-on provided by our analytics provider. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details below. We may be unable to delete information that must be kept for an active engagement, security, dispute resolution, or other legitimate business or compliance needs.
Children's privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
