Compliance & Data Privacy

This platform is designed with security and compliance in mind. Key policies:

• Data Privacy: User data is only collected for tax preparation and compliance purposes. No data is sold or shared with third parties except as required by law.
• Data Retention: Data is retained only as long as necessary for tax/legal requirements. Users may request deletion of their data by contacting support.
• User Rights: Users can request access to, export, or delete their data. Contact support for privacy requests.
• Security:
  • All secrets (JWT, password pepper, encryption keys) are managed via secure environment variables (Wrangler, Vercel, or AWS secrets).
  • S3 buckets and D1 DB access are restricted to least-privilege service accounts.
  • All sensitive actions are logged and auditable.
  • Dependencies are regularly scanned for vulnerabilities in CI/CD.
• Compliance Contact: For privacy or compliance questions, contact: support@example.com
