Third-Party Integrations and Financial Data

Zitronen Consulting offers proprietary financial management tools that integrate with QuickBooks Online via the Intuit OAuth 2.0 protocol. When you authorize our tools to connect to your QuickBooks Online account, the following applies:

Data accessed through QuickBooks Online is subject to Intuit’s privacy policy, available at https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement.

We access your QuickBooks data solely to perform the accounting services you have engaged us to provide, including invoice management, payment recording, and journal entry automation.

OAuth access tokens are stored securely using Google Apps Script User Properties and are never shared with third parties, sold, or used for any purpose other than performing authorized accounting functions on your behalf.

We do not store your QuickBooks credentials. Authentication is handled entirely through Intuit’s secure OAuth 2.0 flow.

You may revoke our access to your QuickBooks account at any time through your QuickBooks Online settings or by contacting us directly.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide our services, meet legal, accounting and tax obligations, and resolve disputes. Newsletter information is kept until you unsubscribe. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so please do not send Social Security numbers, bank logins or similar sensitive details through the Website forms or by regular email.
