Privacy policy

This policy covers the website wafss.com, run by Worldwide Accounting & Financial Solutions, Inc. ("WAFS", "we"). It explains what information the website collects, why, and who else is involved in running it. Information you give us as a client outside this website is covered by our separate client agreements and professional obligations.

Information you send us through the contact form

When you use the form on our Contact page, we receive your name, email address, phone number if you give one, the topic you choose, and your message.

We use this information only to reply to you and to discuss the services you asked about. The form sends your message to us by email. The website itself does not keep a copy in a database. We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Please do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers or tax documents through the form. Email and web forms are not the right place for sensitive financial information. Contact us and we will arrange a safer way to receive it.

Services from other companies that the website uses

• Google reCAPTCHA checks that messages sent through the contact form come from a person and not an automated program. To do this, Google collects information such as your device and browser details and how you interact with the page. Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
• Google Maps shows our office location on the Contact page. Loading the map connects your browser to Google, which may set its own cookies.
• Google Fonts supplies the typefaces used on this website. Your browser downloads them from Google's servers, which receive your device's internet (IP) address.
• Our web hosting provider runs the server this website is on. Like most web servers, it keeps standard technical logs, such as internet addresses, the pages requested and browser type, to keep the site working and secure.

Cookies

This website does not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites, and we do not use analytics tools. Our hosting provider's security system may place a small cookie in your browser to tell real visitors apart from automated programs. The Google services above may set their own cookies under their own policies.

Security

The website uses a secure (HTTPS) connection, shown by the padlock in your browser, so information you send through it is encrypted on its way to us.

Children

This website is meant for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top.
