1. How we collect information

User IP Address

Each time a visitor/user (a "User") visits the Site, our web server automatically recognizes the User's IP address and the Web page from which the User came. The User's IP address is used to help identify the User and to gather broad demographic information about the User. We also use IP addresses collected to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer the Sites, and to better serve Users in using the services and features of the Sites.

Cookies and Action Tags

The first time a User provides an e-mail address in connection with their activities at a Site, we assign an identification number to that e-mail address and deploy a cookie to the User's computer/device. Whenever that user comes back to a Site using the same computer/device, the cookie allows the Site to identify the User and to recall the User's e-mail address. If, at any time, a user provides other information in connection with their activities on a Site (such as name, address, birth date, gender, etc.), we may store that information, along with the user's e-mail address, in our user database. We may use the information stored in our database (i) for the purpose for which the information was originally provided by a user; (ii) to pre-populate information fields in the event a User wishes to sign up for and/or subscribe to services, promotions or offers in the future; (iii) to ensure that a User will not be repeatedly exposed to the same ads, offers and promotions while visiting Sites; and (iv) to, in connection with regular communication with a User, include offers, promotions or advertisements historically, or likely to be, of interest to that User.

Action Tags, Web Beacons and other Data Collection Methods: An action tag or a web-beacon (also known as a clear gif or a pixel tag) is a method used to track responses or actions by visitors who view certain advertisements or other information on a site. Action tags are 1x1 pixel images embedded in a website page that are used to transparently collect information. We may use action tags to count the number of times that visitors click on a particular banner ad or visit the pages of our Sites and to provide information about what products are viewed or purchased.

Other sites accessible through our Sites have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site's privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties. Please be aware that our Sites may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties.

We encrypt all of your personal and financial information and use our best efforts to prevent it from being read or intercepted as the information travels over the Internet. While we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us (both during and once we receive it), no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

At your request, we will remove Personal Information that users have provided to us from our database. Users may make such request by e-mailing support@1099-taxhelp.com However, deleting Personal Information or otherwise opting-out of receipt of communications from us or third parties will only change or delete the data in our database for purposes of transacting future business on a Site and for managing future communications from us and third parties.

Users may need to contact third parties who may contact you directly in order to change the preferences for the use of personal information that they may have or use.
