Privacy Policy

When you interact with our Tax Settlement & IRS OIC platform, we collect information in two ways: information you submit voluntarily to explore tax relief eligibility, and diagnostic technical data collected automatically through your device.

Voluntary Inquiries: When you submit an email, request an eligibility review, or ask to compare tax resolution services, you may provide your email address, approximate tax debt range ($10k-$25k, $25k-$50k, $50k+), state of residency, IRS notice status, and employment/filing background.

Automated Technical Data: We collect standard diagnostic data including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, session duration, and device dimensions to deliver responsive layouts, verify fraud prevention, and maintain network security.

We use collected data strictly for legitimate educational, evaluation, and authorized referral purposes:

• Delivering personalized tax debt relief eligibility estimates, IRS program breakdowns, and RCP guidelines.

• Transmitting your request to licensed tax resolution practitioners (Enrolled Agents, CPAs, or Tax Attorneys) matching your state and tax profile upon your affirmative submission.

• Sending requested IRS relief guides, settlement updates, and educational resources.

• Protecting our platform against fraudulent submissions, bot attacks, and security vulnerabilities.

• Fulfilling legal, regulatory, and auditing requirements under applicable federal and state administrative standards.

AltFTool is an independent marketplace and educational discovery publisher, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a state Department of Revenue, or a direct legal representation law firm. We share information only under strict criteria:

• Participating Tax Resolution Partners: When you request to see tax settlement options, we transmit your inquiry to vetted, licensed tax professionals in our network so they can review your case and explain potential IRS options.

• Infrastructure Providers: Trusted third parties providing secure cloud hosting, encrypted database storage, and email delivery services under signed confidentiality and security agreements.

• Legal & Law Enforcement: When strictly required by subpoena, court order, or applicable law to protect legal rights and prevent financial fraud.

We employ industry-leading administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal and tax inquiry data. These include end-to-end TLS 1.3 data encryption in transit, encrypted storage at rest, strict least-privilege internal access controls, and automated vulnerability scanning.

Inquiry records are retained only for the duration necessary to deliver comparison services, comply with financial audit mandates, and resolve consumer support requests.

Depending on your U.S. state of residence (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah), you have the right to:

• Request access to and copies of the personal data we hold about you.

• Request deletion of your personal data from our active systems.

• Request correction of inaccurate personal records.

• Opt-out of any educational communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or submitting a privacy request.

We do not discriminate against any user for exercising their statutory privacy rights.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal information, please contact our Data Protection Team at privacy@altftool.com or by mail at: AltFTool Privacy Office, 100 Shoreline Highway, Suite 200, Mill Valley, CA 94941.
