Overview

FMP Consulting LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit fmpconsultingllc.com, how we use it, and the choices you have about that information.

This policy covers the website only. Information you share with us during a consulting relationship (including financial records, payroll data, HR records, and other business information) is governed by your individual engagement letter and the confidentiality terms therein.

This information is collected via cookies and similar technologies described below.

Email marketing. If you opt in to receive emails from us (for example, by subscribing to a newsletter), we collect your email address and any preferences you indicate. We do not add anyone to email lists without their explicit consent.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and analyze visitor behavior. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We may use Google Analytics or similar services for this purpose.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to help operate our website and business. These services may collect information about you on our behalf, subject to their own privacy policies:

• Calendly (for scheduling consultations)

This website also links to or references third-party platforms (such as QuickBooks, Xero, Gusto, Mercury, ConnectBooks, and Zoho) and LinkedIn profiles. Some links may be partner or affiliate links. When you click these links, you leave our website and become subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site.

How We Protect Information

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you transmit to us through this website.

For sensitive business information shared during consulting relationships, additional safeguards and confidentiality terms are specified in individual engagement letters.

Data Retention

We retain personal information collected through our website for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.
