PRIVACY NOTICE

Your information, with purpose.

Effective 19 September 2026

Information you choose to submit

The short homepage inquiry collects your name, chosen contact method and matching contact detail, question category, question, optional context you chose to share, response consent and a separate optional marketing preference. It does not ask for PAN, Aadhaar or documents. The longer service request form separately collects email, mobile, PAN, residence status, income bracket, message and optional documents. PAN is format-checked only. Its mobile code is a labelled simulation and does not verify identity. Both paths record a tracking reference and submission time.

Purpose and consent

The operator uses these details to assess and respond to your request. Submission requires your explicit consent. Optional marketing consent is recorded separately; declining it does not affect a response to the inquiry. Submitting does not file a return, book a meeting or create a professional engagement. Don’t submit passwords, Aadhaar or unrelated records.

Storage and access

There is no application database. Request metadata and encrypted contact details are recorded in the operator’s private Google Sheet. Optional documents are encrypted using AES-256-GCM on the application server before being stored in a private Google Drive folder. Decryption requires the separately held server key. The application server processes plaintext in memory during submission. The hosting provider and Google also process technical information under their own terms. Encryption does not establish ISO certification or eliminate operator responsibilities.

Calculators, assistant and browser state

Calculator inputs and TaxBot questions stay in your browser until you choose to attach relevant context to an inquiry and explicitly consent to submit it. A temporary security cookie protects submission. This browser tab keeps only service references, service type and submission timestamps in session storage for the workspace; no PAN or document content is stored there. Closing the tab normally clears these receipts. The demo dashboard contains fictional data.

Contact, correction and deletion

Keep your request reference when asking the operator to correct or delete a record, withdraw contact consent or explain retention. Records should be retained only as needed for the requested service and applicable obligations. Deletion must cover the Sheet row, associated Drive files, exported working copies and any operator-managed backups.

Contact the operator at paidservicefortax@gmail.com.

External actions and uncertain submissions

The optional WhatsApp link opens a draft containing only your tracking reference. Nothing is sent unless you send it in WhatsApp. If a submission times out, it may already have reached the Sheet; retry with unchanged details in this form to reuse the same identifier. A successful receipt appears only after the recording service confirms it.
