Privacy Policy

More about how we protect your information

We protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information by using industry-recognized security safeguards, such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures to protect your information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration. Whenever we ask for sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, we encrypt it as it is transmitted to us.

Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information and, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents, who may have access to your information, for business purposes only. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.

In order to provide our services, Intuit may transfer personal data to Intuit-affiliated companies in other countries. These may be outside the European Economic Area and may not have adequate laws that protect the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data. Where this is done, Woodard Accounting and Business Services will take necessary steps to adequately protect the information transferred. By supplying personal data to Intuit, you consent to these data transfer practices.

More about our relationships with Third Parties

Sometimes, we enter into contracts with third parties who assist us in servicing you such as web site design services, sending email, registering a respective domain name, and analyzing data. The contracts outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and prohibit third parties from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the product or service for which they’ve been contracted. Vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them.

We may disclose, access, or report personal information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law; for the protection of our legal rights; or in connection with an investigation into a suspected violation involving the Member Agreement, fraud, intellectual property infringement, or other activity that is suspected illegal or may expose us to legal liability. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law-enforcement authorities or to comply with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law-enforcement request.

We may disclose access or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law or in connection with a violation of the Member Agreement, an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or a law enforcement request.

We have business partners that provide services, some of which are co-branded. Partner services and sites are clearly identified. When you request any of these products or services, you are permitting us to provide your personal information to the partner to fulfill your request. We may share non identifiable, non personal aggregate information about our users with third parties, such as advertisers or partners, for marketing and promotional purposes. Any information provided by you for the purpose of registering a domain name will become part of the public WHOIS database.

This Web site may provide links to third-party sites, such as those of our business partners and online advertisers. These could include other services, promotions or sweepstakes offered by business partners. Because Intuit does not control the information policies or practices of these third parties, you should review their privacy policies to learn more about how they collect and use personal information.

We will occasionally offer sweepstakes or contests on our web site. To participate, you will likely be asked to provide some personal information, such as an email address. This information may be shared with sponsors, if the sweepstake/contest is co-sponsored by Intuit Website Services and a business partner.

Should we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business, part of the sale may include your personal information. If so, you will have the opportunity to ask not to receive promotional information following any change of control.

We may use sources outside of Intuit to supplement the information you give us. For example, we may validate your address using other sources. We use this data to help us maintain accuracy and provide you with better service.

Woodard Accounting and Business Services, Intuit, and its subsidiaries may exchange information about your transactions to fulfill your requests. We may also provide you information about products or services we believe you may be interested in unless you have asked us not to contact you. We offer you the opportunity to review privacy practices at our subsidiaries’ Web sites.

Discussion forums, blogs and other community oriented functionality enable forum members to communicate with other members. To participate in the forum, we require that you register with a valid e-mail address. We may use your e-mail address in the event we need to contact you regarding your postings or to inquire about your Forum experience.
