Last updated: June 10, 2026

1. Who we are

Our website address is https://sgbstrategy.com. We are Sunny Girl Business Solutions, a bookkeeping and financial strategy practice. 

2. Personal data we collect and why

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact information — name, email address, phone number, and business name provided when booking a call, submitting a contact form, or inquiring about services
• Business and financial information — details about your business, revenue, expenses, and financial goals shared in the course of receiving bookkeeping or strategy services
• Payment and billing information — processed through secure third-party payment processors; we do not store full credit card or banking numbers
• Communications — emails and messages exchanged with our team
• Scheduling data — appointment details collected through our third-party scheduling platform (HoneyBook)
• Website usage data — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time on site, collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools

3. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it — see the Gravatar privacy policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.

4. Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

5. Contact forms

When you submit a contact form or book a call through our website, we collect the information you provide such as your name, email, and message. We retain this information for customer service and business purposes and do not use it for marketing without your consent.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies in the following ways:

• Comment cookies — if you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience on future visits. These cookies last for one year.
• Browser detection cookie — when you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
• Login cookies — when you log in, cookies are set to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days; screen option cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
• Editor cookie — if you edit or publish content, an additional cookie is saved recording the post ID of the article. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
• Analytics cookies — we may use third-party analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited those other websites directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

8. Who we share your data with

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who support scheduling (HoneyBook), payment processing, or website hosting, bound by confidentiality obligations
• Password reset — if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email
• Spam detection — visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service
• Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our business or the public
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets

9. How long we retain your data

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:

• Comments — retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically
• User profiles — retained as long as your account exists; you may update or delete your information at any time (except your username)
• Client and financial records — typically retained for a minimum of seven years to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
• Contact form submissions — retained for a reasonable period for customer service purposes

10. What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make a request, please contact us using the information below.

11. Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Our website is hosted through WordPress.com, whose servers are located in the United States. Scheduling and client management data is processed through HoneyBook. If you are located in the European Union, your data may be transferred outside the EU and is handled in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

12. How we protect your data

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. This includes secure connections (HTTPS), access controls, and working only with reputable third-party service providers. No method of electronic transmission or storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Children’s privacy

Our website and services are intended for business owners and professionals and are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
