Information We Collect

We may collect information about you as follows:

Information We May Disclose.

H&R Block Affiliates. We may disclose any information we collect to our H&R Block affiliates, to provide financial services, such as banking, insurance, mortgages and investment services. We do not disclose information from your tax return to our affiliates without your express consent.

Other Third Parties. We may disclose your name, address, email address, along with demographic, computer system, or lifestyle information we collect through software warranty registration to select third parties, including non-financial companies, such as direct marketers and retailers and financial companies, such as insurance companies. We do not disclose information from your tax return to these third parties. You may opt-out of these disclosures by following the procedures set forth below under the heading "How You Can Control the Use or Disclosure of Your Information", or by designating your preferences during the registration process.

Service Providers. We may disclose any information we collect to service providers to perform a service for us or perform a function on our behalf, or financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements. Service providers may also collect such information on our behalf. Examples could include, without limitation, processing contest entry forms, processing warranty claims, collating letters, managing information through Internet cookies or other technologies, or sending e-mails on our behalf. In cases where we use service providers or joint marketers, we restrict such parties from using your nonpublic personal information except to act on our behalf or as required or permitted by law.

Other Disclosures We may make other disclosures of any information we collect to affiliated and non-affiliated third parties as required or permitted by law. Such disclosures may include, without limitation, disclosures that you expressly request us to make, to effect or process electronic refund advance loans or other products or services that you obtain from us, to comply with a subpoena or other court or government agency order, or made in the event of a sale or transfer of our business or assets.

According to that privacy policy, TaxCut DOES NOT sell ANY of the information on your tax return under any circumstances, to anybody. The only information they sell if the software registration information you provide, and even then it is sold ONLY if you check the boxes giving them permission to do so. TaxCut actually has one of the better privacy policies around.

Federal Privacy law requires they give an opt-out procedure.
