In some cases, we employ service providers to provide a product you order, to fulfill a service request, or to market one of our products or services.

We may be required to provide information about you to third parties outside the Easy-eFile company family without your consent as provided by law, such as, to respond to a subpoena or court order, judicial process or regulatory authorities, to protect against fraud.

Your information may be transferred in connection with a proposed or actual sale, merger, or transfer of all or a portion of a business or operating unit.

Security of Private Information:
Our site uses SSL encryption using a GoDaddy.com security certificate to protect sensitive information online. We do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.

Data is transmitted to the IRS using a SSL encrypted connection.

Any personal and private information that is sent to you by email will not compromise your privacy in any way. For example, we will transmit only the last 4 digits of your social security number with any status emails.
We do not store your credit card information in our database. We transmit it securely to our credit card processor but do not store the number. Thus, there is no likelihood of compromising your credit card information.

eMail Policies:
After you register, we may periodically contact you using your email address or phone number to communicate with you about your return and our services geared toward submitting that return.
