Information Collection


IrsTaxUniversity.com is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. A user's information is collected from several different points on our Site.

Registration


In order to use the IrsTaxUniversity.com services, a user must first complete the registration process. During registration, a user is required to provide contact information (such as name, email address, telephone number, home address, etc.), a unique identifier, and financial information (if user requires financial assistance to pay for training services). This information will be used to communicate with user, to approve user's qualification for professional career training, other offers, and/or products offered by IrsTaxUniversity.com or one of its affiliates.

Log Files


Like most Web sites, our servers use log files to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Service Announcements


On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended we might send users an email. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.

Legal Disclaimer:


Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law or where we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding or administrative hearing, or other legal process served on our Site. For example, IrsTaxUniversity.com may disclose personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or third parties in response to criminal or civil subpoenas. If we do receive a request to disclose a registered user's personal information, we will notify user of such request at the email or telephone number recorded in our database at that time. Users are advised to keep current, their contact information on file with us and update it accordingly.

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable):


We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

Business Transitions:


In the event IrsTaxUniversity.com goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, user's personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, a user's personally identifiable information will be utilized in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, a user will be given a choice not to have his or her information used in this different manner, as described in the notification of changes section, below.

Links


This Site may contain links to other web sites. Please be aware that IrsTaxUniversity.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Statement applies solely to information collected by this Site. IrsTaxUniversity.com may enter into advertising and affiliate relationships with third party web sites which drive interested parties to our Site. Information that is collected on these third party sites are not controlled by this Policy, and users are advised to read the separate privacy policies of these web sites.

Surveys


Periodically, our Site might request information from users via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Site. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and a choice to opt-out. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys, they may not use customers' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Security


IrsTaxUniversity.com takes precaution to protect its users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Site, their information is protected both online and off-line. We employ security measures to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerks or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are located in a secure environment.

Notification of Changes


If we decide to change our Policy, we will post those changes in this Policy, and other places we deem appropriate, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Opting-Out Personal Information


If a user on this Site, upon registering to receive professional career training and/or financial assistance from IrsTaxUniversity.com, thereafter desires to update or change user's registration information, stop receiving information from IrsTaxUniversity.com, and/or remove his or her name from the company's database, contact us on the “Contact Us” link.
