Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

DRAFT STUB. This page must be replaced with reviewed legal text before launch (see TODO-website.md Phase A). Sections below outline the intended structure. This site is standalone: its legal pages live here, not on lionbb.com (decided 2026-07-07).

This website and the archive service are operated by Lion, LLC ("we", "us"). References to Books Backup mean Lion, LLC doing business under that name.

What we collect

When you submit the Get Started form we collect your name, email address, and the details you provide about your QuickBooks Online companies. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and deliver the service.

Your QuickBooks data

To build your archive, you grant us accountant-user access to your QuickBooks Online company. We access your books read-only, produce your archive, and deliver it to you. We remove our working copy after you confirm receipt, except where you engage us to retain an off-site backup copy.

What we don't do

We do not sell your information. We do not share your financial data with third parties except the service providers used to operate this site and deliver your archive.

AI-assisted processing

Parts of the archive service are performed with AI assistance. This means portions of your QuickBooks data (screens, reports, and file listings) are processed by our AI provider, Anthropic, under commercial API terms that do not permit the use of your data to train AI models. We obtain your written consent before any processing begins. AI tools are used solely to produce your archive and for no other purpose.

Service providers (subprocessors)

We use the following categories of providers to operate the service: Anthropic (AI-assisted processing during archive production), Supabase (storage of contact-form submissions), Cloudflare (website hosting), and a file-delivery provider for handing you the finished archive. (Exact list to be finalized with counsel before launch.)

Data retention

Contact-form submissions are kept while we work with you and deleted on request. Working copies of your books are kept only for the duration of the engagement and are deleted after you confirm receipt of your archive, unless you separately engage us to hold an off-site backup copy. Customer data is never stored in shared or version-controlled repositories.

For tax professionals

If you are a tax return preparer engaging us on a client's behalf, disclosures of tax return information are governed by IRC section 7216 and its regulations. We operate as your contractor for auxiliary services, acknowledge in writing that sections 7216 and 6713 apply to us in that role, and can provide a taxpayer consent template consistent with Rev. Proc. 2013-14 for your client to sign before the engagement begins.
