Privacy notice
This notice explains what information this website collects, why, and what rights you have.
Who we are
The controller is Marcel Wendland, trading as Wendland Services, 133 Beach Avenue, Bellmore, NY 11710, United States. You may contact the controller at clientservices@wendlandservices.com or +1 516 400 2855.
What we collect and why
This website does not currently collect email addresses for the newsletter. Issues of the Wendland Services Weekly are published on the Insights page. Inquiries: the information provided when you contact Wendland Services, to reply (basis: steps you request before any engagement, and the legitimate interest in answering). Website: standard server logs kept by the host for security and operation (legitimate interest). Wendland Services does not use advertising or tracking cookies of its own.
Inquiries
You can contact Wendland Services by email or by phone. The inquiry and get-started forms are not currently available. Please do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers, or tax documents by ordinary email. Inquiry emails sent to clientservices@wendlandservices.com are not stored on the website server. Inquiry emails are kept for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain business records. If you become a client, we keep what we need for your engagement under our engagement terms and retention policy. If we reply with a link to book a call, that link takes you to a scheduling service run by a third party.
Who receives it
The website is hosted by Hostinger. Technical administrators of the hosting provider may have access to systems that process server logs. Inquiry emails are processed by Titan. If Wendland Services sends a link to book a call, the scheduling service behind that link also receives what you enter there. Wendland Services does not sell or rent personal information. Wendland Services processes the contact details and information submitted to handle an inquiry and respond.
International transfers
Information submitted through this website may be processed in the United States, where the controller is established. If you visit from Germany or elsewhere in Europe, your information may be processed in the United States, where data protection rules differ from those in your country. The website is hosted by Hostinger. Inquiry emails are processed by Titan (Titan Solution Ltd SEZC, whose registered office is in the Cayman Islands). Hostinger's public privacy policy states that personal information may be maintained, processed and stored in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Lithuania or Cyprus, and in other jurisdictions as necessary for the delivery of its services, and that some Hostinger servers are located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States, Brazil, Singapore and Indonesia, depending on the customer's choice of services. For this website, the Hostinger origin server is in the United States (Boston, Massachusetts).
How long we keep information
Form inquiries are not stored on the website server. Inquiry emails are kept for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain business records. If you become a client, records held for the engagement are kept under the engagement terms and the record-keeping rules that apply to tax return preparers, and are securely destroyed when no longer needed.
Client and tax information
Please do not send tax documents, Social Security numbers, tax identification numbers, account numbers, or details of your tax affairs through this website, by ordinary email, or through the booking service. After an engagement is accepted, Wendland Services explains how to provide documents through the agreed secure channel. Wendland Services uses and discloses tax return information only as permitted by law. Where your consent is required, Wendland Services obtains the required consent before the use or disclosure. This Privacy notice, an inquiry, and a booking do not constitute that consent. Sending an inquiry or booking an introductory call does not by itself create an engagement. Wendland Services accepts work only after both parties sign a written engagement agreement.
Your rights
Ask for access, correction, or deletion by writing to us; European Union residents also have the rights to restriction, objection, data portability, withdrawal of consent, and to complain to a data protection supervisory authority.
