This policy applies to information we collect about visitors to the FileLater.com website. This policy applies both to current and former customers of FileLater.com as well as to those visitors to the FileLater.com website who do not become customers of FileLater.com. This policy does not apply to any of our affiliates, which may be subject to different regulations and/or may have different operating practices. Before doing business with any of our affiliates, you should consult their respective privacy policies.
When you visit www.FileLater.com, we may collect personal information about you from the following categories and sources:
In order to prepare your application for an extension of time to file your United States federal tax return and to file your application for an extension, we collect information about you, such as your name, address, and social security number or tax identification number, as well as your estimate of your total tax liability, your total previous tax payments, your estimate of the balance due, and other information. Collectively, this information is known as “tax extension information”.
We may also collect information through the use of a software technology called “cookies”. Internet cookies allow us to customize our website for you by placing small files on your computer as you visit various components of www.FileLater.com. Through the use of cookies, we can display only those items that may be of interest to you on a particular site, or make it easier for you to access your account information. Information we collect through Internet cookies does not identify you personally. You can choose to decline cookies while at our website; however, this may limit your ability to access certain areas of the website.
We also may employ a software technology called clear gifs (also known as web beacons), that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective and which pages visitors view. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. Like cookies, clear gifs are not tied to users’ personally identifiable information.
Like most standard website servers, we use log files. Information collected in log files may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. This information is not personally identifiable. When you use certain online tax services, IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to enable users to file or transmit tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service.
Advertising networks that serve ads on our website may assign a different cookie to you. The information collected is anonymous and is not linked to your personal information. These cookies may be used to select which ads you see and determine the effectiveness of this advertising. You may choose to decline cookies from third-party ad servers, which FileLater.com does not control.
