Disclosures to successors

Links to Other Websites

This Website may contain links to other websites. These websites are not under IRS’s control and are not subject to IRS’s privacy policy. These websites will likely have their own privacy policies. IRS has no responsibility for these websites and provides links to these websites solely for your convenience. You acknowledge that your use of and access to these websites are solely at your risk. It is your responsibility to check the privacy policies of these websites to see how they treat your personal information.

Protecting Children’s Privacy

IRS follows the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Even though This Website is not designed for use by anyone under the age of 18 (child), IRS realizes that a child may attempt to access This Website. IRS does not knowingly collect PII from a child under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child is using This Website, please contact IRS. IRS may ask for proof of identification before IRS removes any information, to prevent malicious removal of account information. If IRS discovers on its own that a child is accessing This Website, IRS will delete information entered by the child as soon as IRS discovers it, will not use the information for any purpose, and will not disclose the information to third parties. You acknowledge that IRS does not verify the age of Users nor have any liability to do so. If you are a child, please seek the permission from a parent or guardian before using This Website.

Email Policy

IRS complies with the federal CAN-SPAM Act. You can always opt out of receipt of further email correspondence from IRS. IRS will not sell, rent, or trade your email address to any unaffiliated third party without your permission except in the sale or transfer of IRS’s business.

Security Policy

IRS has taken steps to build This Website using industry-standard encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of your PII. When IRS collects your PII through This Website, IRS will encrypt your PII before it travels over the Internet using industry-standard technology for conducting secure online transactions. IRS also uses technologies such as secure routers and firewalls to protect your PII. Unfortunately IRS cannot fully guarantee secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature. Once IRS receives your PII, IRS has security measures in place to protect against the loss or misuse of your PII, though again IRS cannot fully guarantee against such loss or misuse.

International Data Transfers

Information that IRS collects may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which IRS operates in order to enable IRS to use the information in accordance with this policy. Personal information that you publish on This Website or submit for publication on This Website may be available via the Internet around the world. IRS cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others. You hereby agree to the transfers of personal information described within this section.

Changes to IRS’s Privacy Policy

IRS reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If IRS decides to change this privacy policy, IRS will post those changes on This Website so Users are always aware of what information IRS collects, uses, and discloses. If at any time IRS decides to disclose or use your PII in a method different from that specified at the time it was collected, IRS will provide advance notice by email (sent to the email address you have provided to IRS). Otherwise IRS will use and disclose Users’ PII in agreement with the privacy policy that was in effect when their information was collected. In all cases your continued use of This Website, services, and products after any change to this privacy policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
