Privacy Policy

Our SSN Policy: We Never Store It

This is the most important part of our privacy policy. Your Social Security Number is the most sensitive piece of information on your tax forms.

What Happens When You Enter Your SSN

Why We Do This

Even if our servers were ever compromised, your SSN would not be at risk because we simply don't have it. Every time you need to view or download your tax forms, you'll enter your SSN fresh, and we'll fill it in dynamically.

What This Means For You

• You'll need to enter your SSN each time you generate your forms
• We cannot recover your SSN if you forget it (we don't have it)
• Your form data is stored, but PDFs are generated fresh each time you request them
• This is intentional—it's the safest approach for your sensitive data

Information We Collect & Store

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect and store:

• Email address
• Password (encrypted, we cannot see it)
• Name

Tax Form Data

To generate your tax forms, we collect and store:

• Personal information (name, address, date of birth)
• Immigration status and visa information
• University/college details
• Income information from W-2s, 1099s, and other documents
• Tax treaty eligibility information

Generated Tax Forms

We generate the following tax forms on-demand (these are NOT stored on our servers):

• Form 1040-NR
• Form 8843
• Schedule 1, Schedule A, Schedule NEC, Schedule OI
• State tax forms (if applicable)

Important: PDF forms are generated fresh each time you request them using your stored form data. We do not store the generated PDFs themselves—only the data needed to recreate them. Your SSN is filled in dynamically and never stored.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Social Security Numbers (SSN) - never stored, used only in-memory
• Bank account or financial account numbers
• Credit card or UPI information (payments processed by Razorpay/PayPal)
• Copies of your physical documents (W-2s, passport, etc.)
• Generated PDF files (created on-demand, not stored)

How We Use Your Information

We Never:

• Sell your data to third parties
• Share your information with advertisers
• Use your data for marketing purposes (unless you opt in)
• Allow third parties to access your personal information

Data Security

Encryption

Data Retention

Your Tax Form Data

We retain your tax form data (the information you entered, not the PDFs themselves) for 7 years (IRS Recommended). This allows you to regenerate your forms at any time. You can request deletion at any time.

Generated PDFs

We do not store generated PDFs. Forms are created on-demand each time you request them. This means there are no PDF files sitting on our servers—we only store the data needed to generate them.

Account Information

We retain your account information for 7 years (IRS Recommended). If you delete your account, we will delete all associated data within 30 days.

Analytics Data

Anonymous, aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked to individual users.
