What we collect
Information you provide during the interview (income, filing status, dependents), income documents you enter or upload (W-2s and 1099s), and account information (name, email) needed to sign you in.
What we never collect
We never ask for your Social Security number, ITIN, or bank details, and there is nowhere in Taxcript to store them. Eligibility rules like the Earned Income Tax Credit only need to know whether you have a valid SSN, so that is all we record — a yes or no, never the number itself. If you type an identification number into the chat, it is blocked before being sent anywhere.
How we use it
Solely to work out your tax estimate and explain it to you. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it to train models.
Where AI is used
Your estimate is worked out by software, automatically, from the answers you give. No person reviews it, and there is no accountant checking it behind the scenes. Every figure comes from our own tax calculations, written and tested against the published rules — not from an AI model — so no number of yours is guessed or invented. We are building a conversational version of the interview that does use an AI model, to ask and answer questions in plain language. When it opens, what you type there will be sent to the model provider to produce a reply, and this page will name that provider before it does. The model is only ever given the facts you entered, never your calculated figures, and it is not permitted to state a figure back to you. Nothing you enter is used to train anyone's model.
How it's protected
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and every row is scoped to your account so no other user can read it. The strongest protection is that the most sensitive identifier — your Social Security number — is never collected at all.
Where your data is stored
In the United States. That is deliberate rather than incidental: this is a US tax product for people filing US returns, so keeping the data in the same country as the tax authority it concerns is the simplest arrangement to explain and the easiest to check.
How long we keep it
Returns and supporting documents are kept while your account is open, and no longer than we need in order to show you your own history. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
When you change an answer
If you go back and change something you told us, we keep a note of what it was before and after for about 30 days. It is there for one reason: if you ever question a figure we showed you, it is how we can check what you actually told us. After 30 days those values are deleted, and only a record that something changed remains.
The waitlist
If you join the waitlist, we store your email address and which language you were reading the page in, so we can write to you in it. That is all — no name, and nothing you entered into a return is attached to it. We use it only to write to you about Taxcript itself — above all to tell you when it opens. We do not send marketing, and we do not share or sell the list. We keep your address until we have written to tell you Taxcript is open, or until you ask us to remove it, and you can remove it yourself at any time at /waitlist/unsubscribe — with no account, and without contacting us.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, or ask us to delete it, at any time — write to info@taxcriptwaitlist.com and we will act on it. For the waitlist you do not need to ask at all: you can remove your own address at /waitlist/unsubscribe.
