TaxDeductionsByOccupation.com Privacy Policy

Our Commitment To Your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy the following explains the information we collect, how it is used, how it is safeguarded, and how to contact us if you have any concerns.

Our privacy policy, as detailed below, answers questions you may have about access, security, and control of personal information. It also describes how the information will be used and whether it will be provided to third parties.

All companies that are part of Stokes Tax & Accounting Services believe that your personal information—including your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card data—belongs to you. While we collect this type of information when you provide it to us, we do not rent or sell it to third parties. We use it only to process download orders.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES STOKES TAX & ACCOUNTING SERVICES COLLECT?

When users visit our Web sites, there are two types of information that may be collected.

The first type of information is known as “personally identifiable information.” In order to serve your needs and to provide improved products and services, we request personal and private information, such as your name or company, address, contact information, payment information, survey information, and/or other information. You may choose to provide this information at your option. Many areas of our site are accessible without providing any personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information excludes any information you may choose to submit publicly, such as reviews, critiques, or blog discussions.

If you download a product, certain private information will be needed, such as your name or company, address, contact information, and payment arrangements. We will maintain a history of downloads and payments via your account for normal accounting and business purposes. Stokes Tax & Accounting Services does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies.

We may use your e-mail address to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the Web site, new services, and special offers we think you’ll find valuable.

We may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with law, (2) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, or (3) protect the rights, property, or safety of Stokes Tax & Accounting Services and its affiliated companies, our users, or others.

We may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to:

1. Respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

2. Believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Stokes Tax & Accounting Services terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

3. Transfer information about you if Stokes Tax & Accounting Services is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Stokes Tax & Accounting Services will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

The second type of information is known as “non-personally identifiable information” and is collected upon each visit to our Web site. Our server automatically recognizes visitors’ domain names and Internet Protocol addresses (where possible). We also collect information and statistics about how visitors use the site. This information, which is collected and maintained in an anonymous, non-personal, and composite form, allows us to improve the content of our Web site and facilitate market research.

HOW DOES STOKES TAX & ACCOUNTING SERVICES PROTECT USER INFORMATION?

We use encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. All of your downloading information—including your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card data—is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security.

Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution. They receive the credit card data only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. Furthermore, your credit card and billing information cannot be read as it travels to our downloading system.

COOKIES

When you visit a Web site, information may be stored in a file known as a “cookie.” This file is stored on your computer and is used for future reference. If you revisit a Web site, the cookie allows that Web site to identify you as a returning guest and tailor your shopping experience to you.

We use cookies in two places. The first is when a user downloads a product. We use cookies to fill in their name and e-mail address in the form where appropriate (this is known as “auto-fill.”) The second is when a customer uses the Contact Us page. Again, we use cookies for auto-filling the form.

Most Web browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your Web browser’s help file to learn more about these functions.

The information contained in our cookies is only used by Stokes Tax & Accounting Services. Your Web browser will not pass a cookie to a site other than the one that created it.

SECURITY

Stokes Tax & Accounting Services is committed to maintaining the privacy of your personally identifiable information, and will treat the privacy of your information with the same or greater security protections as we provide for our own private information. Stokes Tax & Accounting Services Web sites have industry-standard security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of all information.Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices.

YOUR CONSENT AND NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

By using this Web site, products, and services, you consent to the terms of this policy. If our privacy policy changes, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of access, security, control of personal information, how information will be used, and whether it will be provided to third parties. Your continued use of the Web site constitutes your consent to the updated policy.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

We welcome your questions and comments about our privacy policy. For additional information, please refer to the Disclaimer section. If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please contact us.
