1. Secure Access by Design
We use delegated, accountant-level, or view-only access whenever possible. We do not request or store your primary online-banking passwords.
2. Strong Account Protection
Multifactor authentication is used where supported on the business systems involved in our work.
3. Secure Document Exchange
Sensitive information is not collected through public website forms. Documents are exchanged using approved methods.

Access is limited to what is reasonably necessary to provide the agreed-upon services and is reviewed when needs change.
5. Protected Business Systems
Bright Trail uses reputable business systems and follows defined practices for account access, software updates, and information handling.
6. Confidentiality Commitment
Client information is treated as confidential and is not shared outside the delivery of our services without authorization or a legal requirement.
7. Data Retention and Disposal
Information is retained only as needed for business, legal, and tax purposes, then removed or disposed of using appropriate methods.
8. Clear Responsibilities
Client responsibilities, service boundaries, access expectations, and confidentiality terms are documented in the service agreement.
For your protection, Bright Trail Bookkeeping will not ask for or store your primary online-banking passwords. When direct connection is required, we will guide you toward the safest access option available.
