If you send us a request, such as an email for support, we reserve the right to publish it (absent any personally identifying information) to help us clarify or respond to your request or help other users.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.

If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you should set your browser to refuse cookies but should be aware that certain features of the network may not function properly without them.
How We Use the Information We Collect
Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide us with personal information, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and we’ll notify you before we use the information for something other than the purpose for which it was originally collected. If anything in this Policy seems unclear, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@taxontip.com, so we can address your question and possibly clarify this document.

Information Security
We are ISO 27001 certified and also have a SOC2 Type 2 audit report concerning our information security practices and infrastructure.

We also use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology that protects the data you send over the internet.
We recommend that you use the latest available versions of browsers to take advantage of updates in security technology. Although we strive to protect your information, no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure. There is some risk associated with any data transmission, including the risk that personal data may be intercepted in transit. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
