This policy covers two things: information we collect from visitors to this website, and financial data we access for clients who have engaged us, including data from QuickBooks Online.
When you use our website or contact us, we may collect personal information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, and any details you share through our contact form or when booking a meeting.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website and conducting our business, provided they agree to keep your information confidential.
Fervent Accounting Sync is a private application we use to connect to QuickBooks Online company files for clients who have engaged us. It is not offered to the public.
What we access. With your authorization, the application reads accounting data from your QuickBooks Online company through the Intuit API: company information, the chart of accounts, and financial reports such as the trial balance. The application only reads. It never creates, changes, or deletes anything in your QuickBooks. We use this data only to perform the accounting and reporting work described in your engagement agreement.
How we connect. Access is granted through Intuit's OAuth 2.0 sign-in. We never see or store your QuickBooks password. The refresh token Intuit issues is encrypted with AES and stored on a Fervent-controlled system. The encryption key is held separately from it.
Who is responsible for this data. We handle this data for ourselves, not for Intuit. Intuit does not process it on our behalf, and we do not process it on Intuit's behalf. Your agreement is with Fervent.
How we store and share it. Data retrieved from QuickBooks is kept on Fervent-controlled systems and our business file storage. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with anyone outside Fervent except service providers who help us deliver our services and are bound by confidentiality obligations, or where the law requires it.
Who else touches it. We use a small number of vendors to run our practice. These include Microsoft for file storage and email, and AI software that helps us prepare and review accounting work. They act on our instructions under confidentiality obligations, and none of them gets independent use of your data.
How long we keep it. We keep QuickBooks data for as long as we provide services to you, and afterward only as long as our professional record-keeping obligations require. Ask us and we will tell you how long we plan to keep a specific file.
Disconnecting. You can revoke our access at any time. In QuickBooks Online, go to Settings, then Apps, then My Apps, then the Action menu, then Disconnect. You can also ask us to disconnect. Once you revoke access, we stop retrieving your QuickBooks data and we stop processing it.
Deletion. To ask us to delete the QuickBooks data we hold, email adas@teamfervent.com. We will securely delete it within 30 days and confirm when it is done. If the law or our professional record-keeping rules require us to keep part of it, we will tell you which part and for how long.
Questions about the application. Email adas@teamfervent.com and we will answer within two business days.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze site traffic. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Ask us at any time what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Email adas@teamfervent.com and we will respond within 30 days. Some records we have to keep to meet legal and professional obligations, and we will say so if that applies.
We may update this policy. When we do, we change the date at the top of the page. If a change affects how we handle client financial data, we will tell affected clients directly.
If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact us.
