Privacy Policy

LedgerShield collects limited, voluntary information only as necessary to provide educational materials, deliver requested tax relief guides, and support consumer inquiries:

• Voluntary Guide Requests: To receive the free Business Tax Relief Guide and Form 941 Checklist, we require only your business email address. You may optionally share your business industry or state to receive more targeted educational guidance.

• Technical & Diagnostics Data: Standard web server logs may automatically record your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and timestamp solely for platform cybersecurity, fraud prevention, and responsive page rendering.

• Sensitive Data We DO NOT Collect: We do not request, process, or store Social Security numbers (SSNs), personal or business bank account passwords, debit/credit card credentials, or confidential business financial statements on this site.

We use collected information strictly for legitimate educational, informational, and customer communication purposes:

• Generating and delivering your requested Business Tax Relief Guide, Form 941 checklist, and IRS notice roadmaps.

• Sending periodic educational updates covering payroll tax compliance, trust fund penalty guidance, and state tax resolution best practices.

• If you affirmatively request to explore independent tax relief representation or CPA services, transmitting your basic contact request to independent, licensed professionals or reputable third-party partners.

• Maintaining website integrity, safeguarding against automated bot spam, and fulfilling technical compliance obligations.

LedgerShield is an independent educational publisher and referral resource, not a government agency, IRS representative, accounting firm, or law firm. Any connection with third-party service providers is subject to the following:

• Independent Relationship: Any commercial or professional representation agreement you enter into is strictly between you and the third-party tax professional or relief firm.

• Third-Party Privacy Policies: Third-party providers operate under their own terms of service, privacy practices, and underwriting criteria. We encourage you to review their policies prior to submitting financial documentation.

• No Mandatory Participation: You are never obligated to retain or accept any services offered by third parties.

We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard your information:

• Encryption in Transit: All data transfers use TLS 1.3 encryption over secure HTTPS connections.

• Restricted Internal Access: Access to email subscriber lists is strictly limited to authorized staff on a least-privilege basis.

• Retention Limits: Inquiry records and contact details are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill requested services, support consumer inquiries, and satisfy compliance requirements.

Depending on your state of residence (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah), you may hold specific privacy rights:

• Right to Know & Access: You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of the specific information collected.

• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of personal information you provided to us, subject to statutory record-retention requirements.

• Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal information.

• Right to Opt-Out: You may opt out of promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of every message.

• Exercising Your Rights: Submit your request by emailing privacy@altftool.com with 'Privacy Request — LedgerShield' in the subject line. We verify and respond within 45 days as required by law.
