Website Terms, Privacy & Disclaimer

Last updated: September 1, 2026

Gilmore Bookkeeping is operated by Gilmore Bookkeeping LLC.

This page explains how information is handled when you visit this website, the terms that apply when you use it, and the limits of the information provided here. It applies to the website and its free resources—not to bookkeeping services provided under a separate client agreement.

1. Privacy Policy

Information You Choose to Provide

When you request a resource, schedule a call, send an email, or otherwise contact Gilmore Bookkeeping, you may provide information such as:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your phone number
  • Information about your business or bookkeeping needs
  • Anything else you choose to include in a form, message, or scheduling request

Please do not send bank or credit card login credentials, account numbers, or other highly sensitive financial information through a public website form or ordinary email.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may collect basic information about how visitors use it, including:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser and device information
  • Pages you visit
  • How you arrived at the website
  • General interactions with the site

This information may be collected through cookies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

How Your Information Is Used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

  • Deliver a guide or resource you requested
  • Send related emails
  • Respond to questions and inquiries
  • Schedule and prepare for exploratory calls
  • Operate, protect, and improve the website
  • Understand how visitors use the site
  • Meet applicable legal obligations

Gilmore Bookkeeping does not sell or rent your personal information or provide it to outside marketers for their own use.

Emails and Communication

If you request a guide or other resource, you may receive the requested material and related emails from Gilmore Bookkeeping through Kit, formerly known as ConvertKit.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email. Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not prevent communication that may be necessary to respond to an inquiry or provide services you requested.

Service Providers

Gilmore Bookkeeping uses third-party providers to operate the website, deliver resources, schedule calls, analyze website activity, and communicate with visitors. These may include:

  • Website hosting and management providers
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Workspace
  • Kit
  • Calendly

These providers may process limited information as needed to perform their services and have their own terms and privacy practices.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with the law, protect legal rights, or prevent fraud, misuse, or security problems.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies for basic website functions and to understand how visitors use the site.

You can limit or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function as intended if cookies are disabled. You may also use Google’s available controls to limit Google Analytics tracking.

How Information Is Protected

Gilmore Bookkeeping uses reasonable administrative and technical safeguards and reputable service providers to protect the information under its control.

No website, email system, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure. Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described on this page or to meet legal and recordkeeping obligations.

Your Choices

You may contact Gilmore Bookkeeping to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided, subject to any information that must be retained for legal, security, or recordkeeping purposes.

You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link included in each email.

To make a request, email tona@gilmorebookkeeping.com

Children’s Privacy

This website and its services are intended for business owners and are not directed to children under 13. Gilmore Bookkeeping does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

2. Website Terms of Use

General Website Use

The information on this website—including articles, downloads, emails, and free resources—is provided for general educational and informational purposes.

Using the website, downloading a resource, sending an inquiry, or participating in a free exploratory call does not create a client-bookkeeper relationship.

Bookkeeping services begin only after both parties have agreed to the scope of work and signed a separate service agreement. That agreement, rather than this page, governs any bookkeeping services provided to a client.

Exploratory Calls

A free exploratory call is an informational conversation intended to:

  • Learn about your bookkeeping situation
  • Answer general questions
  • Discuss whether Gilmore Bookkeeping’s services may be a good fit
  • Explain possible next steps

An exploratory call does not provide tax, legal, or investment advice. It also does not guarantee future availability or obligate either party to work together.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, the original content created for this website—including its written material, graphics, downloads, and resources—belongs to Gilmore Bookkeeping LLC.

You may read, download, and use free materials for your own personal business purposes. You may not, without written permission:

  • Republish or redistribute the material
  • Sell it or use it as part of a product you sell
  • Modify it and present it as your own work
  • Copy substantial portions for commercial use
  • Remove copyright or ownership notices

Brief quotations and links to publicly available website pages are welcome when Gilmore Bookkeeping is properly credited.

Third-Party Websites and Tools

This website may include links to third-party websites or use tools provided by other companies. Those websites and tools are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

Gilmore Bookkeeping does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or handling of information.

Website Accuracy and Availability

Reasonable care is taken to provide useful and accurate information, but bookkeeping practices, software features, laws, and regulations can change.

Gilmore Bookkeeping does not guarantee that every page or resource will always be complete, current, error-free, or available without interruption. If you notice something that may need to be updated, please get in touch.

Governing Law

These website terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

3. Disclaimer

Bookkeeping Information Is Not Tax, Legal, or Investment Advice

Gilmore Bookkeeping provides bookkeeping services but is not a CPA firm, law firm, or financial advisory firm.

Nothing on this website, in a free resource or email, or discussed during an exploratory call should be treated as:

  • Tax advice
  • Legal advice
  • Investment advice
  • A substitute for guidance based on your individual circumstances

Questions involving taxes, legal matters, investments, or other specialized professional advice should be discussed with a qualified professional in that field.

No Guaranteed Results

Examples and educational materials are provided to help visitors better understand bookkeeping topics. They do not guarantee a particular financial, tax, bookkeeping, or business result.

You are responsible for deciding how to use the information provided and for obtaining professional guidance when appropriate.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gilmore Bookkeeping LLC is not responsible for losses or damages resulting from reliance on general website content, free resources, or third-party websites linked from this site.

4. Changes to This Page
