Your California Rights
This Privacy Notice for California Residents (“Privacy Notice”) is provided by Tax on Clouds Pro LLC (“Tax on Clouds”, “we”, and “us”) solely for website visitors and professional tax preparer users of our products and services who reside in the State of California (“you”). The information contained in this Privacy Notice supplements the information provided in our Privacy Policy and is posted to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), and other California privacy laws. In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Notice and our Privacy Policy, this Privacy Notice shall govern.
Scope of this Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice applies to information about you collected via our websites (taxslayerpro.com, cloudtaxoffice.com, taxofficemanagement.com, taxstatusnow.com) and the services provided thereon (collectively “Platform”). Tax on Clouds is a financial institution that collects personal information governed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). The CCPA gives California residents certain rights related to the personal information that businesses collect about them. These rights do not apply, however, to certain information, including information subject to the GLBA. For example, this Privacy Notice does not apply to any information that we collect about you when you seek, apply for, or obtain our financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes. Most of the personal information that Tax on Clouds collects about consumers relates to financial products and services that we provide.
This Privacy Notice does not apply where Tax on Clouds processes your information in our role as a service provider on behalf of a customer or entity (for example, where Tax on Clouds processes a taxpayer’s information on behalf of customers of our professional tax software products or companies that custom-label our Platform). When we act as a service provider, the privacy policy and related notices of the company for which we process data will govern.
What Information We Collect
When you interact with our Platform, we may collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you (“Personal Information”). The types of Personal Information that we collect about you are detailed in our Privacy Policy. In addition, the categories of Personal Information that we have collected about you within the last twelve (12) months, the sources of and purposes for which we have collected such information, and information about to whom we have disclosed or sold, or with whom we have shared such information are below. The examples of information provided below include both information collected in connection with financial products and services (which may be exempt under the CCPA) as well as other information (which may be covered by the CCPA).
