Tax Matters Privacy Practices

1. Non-Disclosure of Information

To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online and other information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, Tax Matters will make it available on our homepage and at every point on this website where personally identifiable information may be requested. Tax Matters currently provides users with no access to any online financial products, services, tools and tax preparation services. For current and former clients, Tax Matters does not disclose any nonpublic personal information obtained in the course of our practice except as required or permitted by law.

2. Collection of Information

Tax Matters is sensitive to privacy issues with respect to the use of information that visitors to the Site provide to us over the Internet. Generally, you can visit this website without telling us who you are or revealing personal information about yourself.

Tax Matters web servers collect general information that does not identify you personally. We do this by placing a small text file called a cookie on your computer's hard drive. We aggregate, evaluate and use this information to improve the Site and business and may provide it to third parties. We may use cookies or IP addresses to analyze trends, administer our website, track customer site navigation and gather broad demographic information for aggregated use. We only allow authorized Tax Matters personnel and authorized third parties to have access to the web server logs and cookie utilization data, and those employees and third parties are required to comply with strict confidentiality agreements.

There are a few areas of the Site where you may choose to submit personal information. You also may choose to complete forms in various locations on our website. We may use this information to contact you for marketing purposes or to set up an appointment with you. Unless you give us your permission, however, we will not share this information with anyone outside of Tax Matters or its affiliates, except as permitted or required by law. Tax Matters does not sell personal or contact information you provide to us via either the Site or subsequent phone conversations.

All such communications and submissions shall be deemed the property of Tax Matters, and your submission of such information shall constitute your assignment to Tax Matters of all worldwide rights, title and interest in and to such information. Tax Matters will not have any obligation to keep such information confidential and will be free to reproduce, use, disclose and distribute such information to others without limitation and without liability. Tax Matters will be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing and marketing products or services that incorporate or otherwise embody such information, without providing any notice, compensation or attribution to you.
