INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect the following information about you, either directly or through persons or entities acting on your behalf:

• Information you provide to us to on applications, forms, online registrations, surveys, and in connection with polls or contests, such as your name, address and email address. We use your email address to provide customer service, confirmation emails, email reminders, and from time to time send you in-house newsletters.

• Information when you visit our Website, such as navigation patterns at the site on an aggregate basis and information we collect through Internet cookies or clear gifs, such as time spent on our Website and which pages are visited. Internet cookies allow us to customize our Website for you based upon information you provide to us, such as by displaying only those items that may be of interest to you or making it easier for you to access your account information.

We treat information about our former customers in the same manner as information of existing customers.

If at any time you wish to stop receiving promotional offers from payUSAtax, you may contact us. We may, however, continue to provide you with administrative information, which is important information about your account.
