We recognize that you may be concerned about our use and disclosure of your personal information. Your privacy is very important to us, and the following will inform you of the information that we, The Tax Defenders, may collect from you, and how it is used. By using our website, www.thetaxdefenders.com,, you are accepting the practices described in this policy.

Information Collection

We may collect non-personal information, such as a domain name and IP Address. The domain name and IP address reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We may also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, what brought you to our Website, as well as which of our Web pages you have accessed.

Additionally, if you communicate with us regarding our Website or our services, we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such communication. The only personally identifiable information which the www.thetaxdefenders.com web site collects about you is the information which you choose to provide to us (for instance, if you use the Web site to send an e-mail to an employee of The Tax Defenders).

You may also give us personally identifiable information by other means such as mail or phone which we may use in keeping with the terms of this Policy.

Your personally identifiable information will only be used for purposes relating to the www.thetaxdefenders.com Web site, for other purposes as defined herein or, if a client relationship is created between TTDTI and you, for the provision of services to you.

We may contact you via email, letter, phone, fax or text in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy. We will only contact you using personally identifiable information you have given us.

In order to update or delete your personally identifiable information, please send an e-mail to [email protected] or click the link at the bottom of any e-mail message which is sent to you in connection with the www.thetaxdefenders.com Web site.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All OPT-IN requests include text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with third parties.

Information Use

In addition to other purposes as stated herein and on this website, we use the collected information primarily for our own internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving our services and Website, fulfilling requests for information, and providing customer support.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

If we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.

These security measures are in place to protect the confidentiality and security of your personally identifiable information. These measures include both online and offline security measures, including firewalls, passwords and restricted physical access to the places where your personally identifiable information is stored.

Also, only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. We may also use cookies to provide advertising and marketing messages on other sites to users who have visited www.thetaxdefenders.com in keeping with current industry practices and commerce regulation.

Sharing

We will not sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside third parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing.

We will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on our company
• Protect and defend the rights or property of our Website and related properties
• Identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing our Website or its related properties

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example through e-mail, discussion boards, or elsewhere – that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
