Privacy Policy

Last updated on June 27, 2023

Your Privacy Is A Priority to Us

At Web Efiling, LLC (“Web Efiling”, “We”, “Us”, “Our”), we are committed to safeguarding customer information on our website (taxestogo.com, TaxStatusNow.com, TaxOfficeManagement.com, CloudTaxOffice.com) and mobile applications (collectively, the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains TaxesToGo’s collection, use, retention, and security of information about you. It also describes your choices regarding use, access, and correction of your personal information.

Since your privacy is a priority to us, We will not share nonpublic information about you with third parties outside of Our corporate family without your consent, except as explained in our Privacy Policy.

Scope of This Privacy Policy

As a U.S. based company offering products related to the preparation of U.S. federal and state tax returns, We do not market to nor target subjects of other countries including those in the European Economic Area. In addition, as a provider of tax preparation software, We may be considered an exempt financial institution under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

Our Privacy Policy does not apply where We process your information in our role as a service provider or data processor on behalf of a customer or entity that acts as the data controller (for example, customers of our professional tax software products or companies that custom-label our Platform). When we act as a service provider or data processor, the privacy policy of the data controller will govern processing of your personal information.
