Maximum Tax Relief California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 10, 2024
​
This California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Privacy Policy is an addendum to the general Privacy Policy for Maximum Tax Relief ("we," "us," or "our"). This policy applies only to California residents and addresses the specific rights afforded to them by the CCPA, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.
​
1. Information we collect
​
In the past 12 months, we have collected categories of personal information and sensitive personal information from California residents, including identifiers (like name, address, and SSN), financial account information, income details, commercial information, internet activity, geolocation data, and inferences about preferences. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit its use under the CCPA.
​
2. Sources of personal information
​
We collect this information directly from you when you interact with us and through technologies like cookies on our website.
​
3. Purpose for collecting and using personal information
​
We collect and use your personal information for purposes such as providing tax relief services, communicating with you, processing payments, improving our services, ensuring security, and for marketing with consent.
​
4. Disclosure of personal information
​
In the past 12 months, we have disclosed categories of personal information (identifiers, financial, commercial, and internet activity) for a business purpose to service providers (like data analytics and customer support) and payment processors. We have not sold or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
5. Your California privacy rights
​
As a California resident, you have rights including the Right to Know (what information is collected, its sources, purpose, and who it's shared with), the Right to Correct inaccurate information, and the Right to Delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. We do not offer the Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information or the Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing because our practices do not necessitate these rights under the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.
6. Exercising your California privacy rights
​
To exercise your Right to Know, Correct, or Delete, submit a verifiable request via our toll-free phone number, webform, or email address. We will verify your identity by matching information you provide with our records.
​
7. Authorized agent
​
An authorized agent can submit requests on your behalf, but we may require proof of permission and identity verification from you directly.
8. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) exemption
​
As a financial service provider, some information we collect is nonpublic personal information under GLBA and is exempt from certain CCPA rights like the Right to Know, Delete, and Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing. However, the CCPA's private right of action for data breaches still applies to GLBA-covered personal information.
9. Changes to this CCPA policy
We may amend this policy at any time, posting updates on our website and revising the effective date.
