Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 20, 2026

TaxFort is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your data and the sensitive financial information of your clients. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our tax document storage platform.

1. Information We Collect

  • Documents you upload: Tax returns, W-2s, 1099s, bank statements, receipts, engagement letters, workpapers, and other financial records.

  • Metadata: File names, upload dates, versions, folder structure, and AI-generated categorization.

  • Account information: Email address, company name, taxpayer UUIDs, and authorized accounting firm relationships.

  • Usage data: Access logs, IP addresses, and actions performed through our secure gateways.

We do NOT sell your data or your clients’ data to third parties.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide the service:

Store and organize documents (including AI auto-sorting)
Enforce per-taxpayer quotas and isolation
Enable secure sharing with authorized firms
Generate version history and audit logs
Comply with legal and regulatory requirements

3. Data Storage and Security

All documents are stored on Backblaze B2 with AES-256 encryption at rest. Data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3.

WORM Compliance

Final documents are stored in Compliance-mode Object Lock (WORM) with a default 10-year retention period. Once locked, these files cannot be modified or deleted by anyone — including us.

4. Data Sharing

We share documents only with the specific accounting firms or users you explicitly authorize. Accounting firms receive strictly limited access keys that restrict them to only the clients they are invited to.

6. Your Rights

Access & Export

Download or export your documents at any time.

Correction

Request correction or replacement of Source documents.

Revocation

Revoke accounting firm access instantly.

Deletion

Request deletion of non-locked documents where permitted.

For California residents and other applicable privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, etc.), we honor all required rights requests.
