Privacy Policy

Last updated:

QuickBiz (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates quickbiz.io. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. We keep it short and readable because you deserve to actually understand this.

  • Account information: Name, email address, and password (hashed) when you create an account.
  • Business information: LLC name, state of formation, EIN, business type, and owner information provided during the formation process.
