Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how TaxLite collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, dashboard, and API (the “Services”).
1. Information we collect
- Account information: email address, username, and account settings.
- Usage and diagnostics: request metadata (such as endpoints called), timestamps, and basic diagnostics for reliability and abuse prevention.
- Payment information: billing status and subscription metadata (payments are processed by our payment provider; we do not store full card numbers).
- Address/coordinate inputs: when you submit addresses or coordinates for geocoding or tax calculation, those inputs may be processed to return results.
2. How we use information
- Provide and operate the Services (tax calculation, reporting, exports).
- Authenticate users, prevent fraud, and protect against abuse.
- Maintain logs and metrics to improve reliability and performance.
- Communicate with you about your account (support, important notices).
3. How we share information
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Services, such as:
- Database/hosting providers (to store account and usage data)
- Payment processors (to manage subscriptions and billing)
- Geocoding providers (to resolve addresses into coordinates when needed)
- Email providers (to send transactional emails)
- Identity providers (for optional login methods like Google OAuth)
We may also share information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to investigate abuse.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, protect the Services, and improve user experience. For example, we may set short-lived cookies for authentication and abuse prevention.
5. Data retention
We retain information as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary based on the type of data and business needs.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
