Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1 January 2026
Totally Real Accounting ("we", "us", "our" — and yes, we are real) is committed to protecting your personal and financial information. This privacy policy explains our data practices in a way that is, like everything about us, totally legitimate.
Information We Collect
When you engage our services, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, business details, tax file numbers, financial records, and the contents of your shoebox of receipts. We also note your facial expression when we tell you how much you owe the tax office.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to prepare tax returns, manage bookkeeping, process payroll, provide financial advice, and occasionally shake our heads at your expense reports. We do not sell your data. We are accountants, not data brokers. There is a difference. We think.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. These cookies are strictly necessary, much like a good accountant during tax season.
Data Retention
We retain financial records for the minimum period required by law (typically 7 years). We retain your trust for hopefully much longer. We retain your sense of humour about our firm name indefinitely.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, email privacy@totallyrealaccounting.com or visit Suite 1040, Fiscal Responsibility Tower, 123 Balance Sheet Boulevard, Ledgerton, CA 90210.
