Privacy Policy

Scope. This policy describes how this website handles information. It is not a substitute for Alpha Tax Service’s written information security plan or the privacy notice you receive as a client — ask us for those directly.

What this website collects

The only information we ask you for is what you type into a contact, payroll, or referral form: your name, email address, phone number, preferred office, preferred contact method, and any message you choose to write.

As with any website, some technical information is handled automatically in order to serve the page and keep the forms usable — your IP address and browser details reach our hosting and spam-protection provider, and a form submission passes through our email delivery provider on its way to us. We also measure how the website is used overall, as described under Cookies and analytics. We do not use any of this information to build a profile of you, and we do not combine it with anything else.

What this website will not collect

We do not ask for — and you should never submit through this website — Social Security numbers, Employer Identification Numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, dependent details, income or deduction figures, financial account numbers, Identity Protection PINs, or tax documents of any kind. Information of that sort belongs in our encrypted client portal.

How form submissions are handled

Form submissions are transmitted over an encrypted connection and delivered by email to cs@alphatax200.com. They are not stored in a website database. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish people from automated traffic.

Cookies and analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to collect basic information about how this website is used: which pages are visited, the website or link that brought a visitor here, the general type of browser and device, the country a visit comes from, and how quickly pages load. We look at this information in aggregate — to see which pages are useful and whether the site is working well — not to identify or follow individual visitors.

Cloudflare states that its Web Analytics does not use cookies or other information stored on your device, and does not fingerprint visitors. This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use website analytics for advertising.

We honour Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. If your browser sends either signal, the analytics script is not loaded, so the usage information described above is not collected for your visit. (Like any web host, Cloudflare still processes each request in order to serve the page.) We do not sell information about visitors, and we do not share it for advertising.

Third-party services

Some links take you to services operated by others — our appointment scheduler, our payment processor, and our secure document portal. Those services have their own privacy practices, and this notice does not cover them.

Three providers are involved in running this website itself: Cloudflare hosts it, provides the Turnstile spam check, and provides the website usage analytics described above; Resend delivers form submissions to us by email, and Mailchimp operates the text-message and email sign-up if you choose to use it. Each processes data on our behalf under its own terms.
