This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Website and related online interactions, including contact forms, inquiry forms, newsletter signups, educational resource downloads, event or webinar registrations, regulatory help desk inquiries, online accounts, cookies, analytics tools, and similar digital interactions.
1.2.- Separate Engagements. If you become a client of Foodman, additional privacy, confidentiality, engagement, professional responsibility, or regulatory terms may apply under a separate engagement letter, services agreement, client portal terms, professional obligations, or applicable law. If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and a separate written client engagement agreement, the engagement agreement will control with respect to the services covered by that agreement.
1.3.- Third-Party Websites. The Website may link to third-party websites, platforms, tools, payment processors, scheduling services, learning platforms, social media pages, or other third-party services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that we do not control. You should review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing information to them.
We may collect personal information directly from you, automatically through the Website, from service providers, or from other lawful sources. The categories of information we collect depend on how you interact with us.
2.1.- Contact and Identity Information. We may collect your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, company or organization, job title, professional affiliation, account username, and similar contact or identifying information.
2.2.- Inquiry and Communications Information. We may collect information you provide when you contact us, submit a form, request information, register for an event, ask a regulatory help desk question, request support, send an email, complete a survey, or otherwise communicate with us. This may include the content of your message, inquiry details, business information, uploaded files, and related correspondence.
2.3.- Professional Services and Transaction Information. If you request or purchase services, register for paid offerings, or otherwise engage in a transaction with us, we may collect information necessary to process the transaction or provide the requested service, such as billing details, payment-related information, service preferences, account information, registration information, and records relating to the requested services.
2.4.- Educational Services Information. If you register for newsletters, webinars, courses, workshops, events, downloads, or other educational resources, we may collect registration information, attendance information, course progress or participation information, communication preferences, and engagement data.
2.5.- Marketing and Preference Information. We may collect information about your marketing preferences, newsletter subscriptions, event interests, communication choices, survey responses, and interactions with our emails or other communications.
2.6.- Device, Usage, and Technical Information. Like many website operators, we may collect information that browsers, devices, and servers typically make available, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language preference, referring website, pages viewed, links clicked, date and time of requests, time spent on pages, approximate location, and other usage or diagnostic information.
2.7.- Cookies and Similar Technologies. We may collect information through cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, analytics tools, and similar technologies, as described further below.
2.8.- Sensitive Information. We do not intend general Website forms to be used for submission of sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it through an authorized secure channel. Sensitive information may include Social Security numbers, tax identification numbers, financial account numbers, account credentials, tax returns, payroll records, regulated data, or confidential business records.
3.1.- Information You Provide. We collect information you voluntarily provide when you submit forms, create an account, register for communications or events, download resources, purchase or request services, submit a help desk inquiry, upload files, or communicate with us.
3.2.- Information Collected Automatically. We may automatically collect device, usage, and technical information when you visit or interact with the Website, including through cookies and similar technologies.
3.3.- Information From Service Providers and Third Parties.

We may use personal information for the following purposes:
5.1.- Use of Help Desk Information. If you submit a regulatory help desk inquiry, compliance question, accounting or tax-related support request, or similar inquiry, we may use the information you provide to evaluate and respond to your inquiry, administer the help desk, maintain records, improve our services, identify common issues, and comply with applicable legal, regulatory, professional, or business obligations.
5.2.- No Engagement Created by General Inquiry. Submitting a Website form, help desk inquiry, email, or other general online request does not by itself create an accountant-client relationship, tax advisor-client relationship, legal relationship, fiduciary relationship, confidential relationship, or professional engagement. A professional engagement is created only if Foodman expressly agrees in a separate written agreement.
5.3.- Sensitive Information Warning. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, employer identification numbers, financial account numbers, account passwords, full tax returns, payroll records, confidential client records, regulated information, privileged materials, or other sensitive information through general Website forms unless we specifically request that information through an authorized secure process.
5.4.- De-Identified Use. We may use de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized information derived from inquiries to improve our services, develop educational content, identify trends, or support internal business purposes.

Our response to such signals may depend on the Website technology used and applicable legal requirements. Where we are legally required to honor recognized opt-out preference signals, we will do so.

8.5.- Business Transfers.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, respond to inquiries, maintain business records, administer accounts and transactions, comply with legal, tax, accounting, audit, professional, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect rights and security, and maintain backup or archival records.
The specific retention period may depend on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, the nature of our relationship with you, applicable legal or professional obligations, and our legitimate business needs.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet, electronic communication, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted to or maintained by us.
You are responsible for using secure networks, maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials, and notifying us promptly if you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure.
