Notice: This draft privacy policy is provided for operational transparency. It is subject to ongoing business-owner and legal review prior to any statutory certifications.
1. Personal Information Collected
Rishers Tax Services collects personal identification information that you voluntarily provide when initiating an inquiry, booking an appointment, or completing a tax intake form. This may include your name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
2. Contact Forms
Information entered through basic contact or inquiry fields is used solely to respond to your questions and facilitate initial communication. Sensitive tax records should never be transmitted via unencrypted general contact forms.
3. Tax and Financial Information
In the course of providing professional tax preparation services, we receive financial data, wage documentation (such as W-2 and 1099 forms), dependent information, and associated tax records. This information is gathered solely for the purpose of preparing accurate tax filings and is handled with strict professional confidentiality in adherence with federal and state standards.
4. Appointment Scheduling
When you schedule a consultation through our booking links, your appointment date, time, contact number, and brief description of needs are stored to coordinate your calendar reservation.
5. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use standard session cookies and basic privacy-preserving site metrics to understand how visitors navigate our website and improve user experience. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies, though certain site features may function with reduced convenience.
6. Email Communications
If you provide your email address, we may send administrative messages regarding your tax return status, intake review notes, appointment confirmations, or annual tax deadline reminders. You may request to opt out of non-transactional reminders at any time.
7. SMS Communications and Consent
By providing your mobile telephone number and requesting updates or scheduling an appointment, you consent to receive text messages related to your appointment reminders and tax preparation updates. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP at any time to discontinue SMS communications.
8. Third-Party Providers
We may partner with secure third-party platforms for appointment scheduling, document ingestion, and payment processing. We do not sell, rent, or lease client information to third-party marketing companies.
9. Data Protection
We maintain organizational and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We do not make absolute security guarantees beyond industry-accepted tax office protocols.
10. Data Retention
We retain client records in accordance with applicable federal tax regulations, state laws, and internal documentation requirements for professional tax preparers.
