Privacy Policy
GetAItaxfiler (\u201cwe\u201d) is the data controller for the information described here. This policy explains what getAItaxfiler collects when you upload tax documents and use AI review, how that information is stored, and what control you have over it.
Last updated September 4, 2026
Who we are
getAItaxfiler is operated by GetAItaxfiler, the seller of the getAItaxfiler Pro subscription and the data controller responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us through the app.
What we collect
- Account details — your email address, your name if you provide it, and the filing details you enter (filing status and number of dependents).
- Tax documents — the files you upload, such as W-2s, 1099s and receipts as photos or PDFs.
- Extracted tax data — the figures our AI reads from those documents, like wages, tax withheld, income types, deductions and credits.
- Return details — your estimated refund or balance, the deduction suggestions you receive, and your return's status and confirmation number.
Your documents stay private to your account
Uploaded documents are stored in private cloud storage that is tied to your account. Other users can't see, search, or open your files — they're only reachable through your signed-in account, and you can delete any document from the app at any time before your return is filed.
How AI review works
When you upload a document, the file is sent to an AI service whose job is to read it and pull out the tax figures — this is how getAItaxfiler fills in your return for you. The same service helps generate your refund estimate and deduction suggestions, based only on the facts in your documents and the profile details you've entered.
AI isn't perfect. It can misread a number or miss a line, so you should always check the extracted figures against your original documents in the Review step before filing.
What filing means here
Filing your return in getAItaxfiler records your submission inside the app and gives you a confirmation number. It does not transmit your return to the IRS or any tax authority, and getAItaxfiler is not an IRS e-file provider. Your documents and figures never leave the app through the filing step.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal or tax information.
- We don't use your documents for anything beyond reading them, preparing your return, and suggesting legal deductions.
- We don't make your documents or return details visible to anyone but you.
Why we\u2019re allowed to use this information
- To perform our contract with you — creating your account, reading your documents, preparing your return, and providing and billing your subscription.
- Our legitimate interests — keeping the service secure, preventing fraud and abuse, and improving how the app works.
- Legal obligations — keeping records we are required to keep, such as tax and accounting records relating to your purchase.
- Your consent — where we ask for it, for example optional messages. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Payments and who we share information with
Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders, and provides customer service enquiries and handles returns. When you subscribe, Paddle collects and processes your payment and billing details as an independent controller — we never see or store your full card number. We share your email address and a customer identifier with Paddle so your subscription can be linked to your account.
We also share information with:
- Service providers — our cloud hosting, database and file storage provider, and the AI provider that reads your documents, acting on our instructions.
- Professional advisers — legal and accounting advisers where necessary.
- Authorities — where we are required to disclose information by law.
Keeping and deleting your information
We keep your account details, documents and return data for as long as your account is active so your return stays available to you. You can delete individual documents from the Docs tab at any time before filing. To permanently erase your uploaded documents, extracted figures, deduction suggestions and AI review history — for one tax year or every year — use the Delete my data page in Settings. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. A return already sent for filing cannot be recalled from the filing service or the tax authority.
Your rights and how we protect your data
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information: to access it, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent. You can exercise most of these yourself in the app, or ask us and we will respond within one month. If you are in the UK or EEA you may also complain to your local data protection authority. Records relating to your purchase may be retained by Paddle for as long as tax law requires.
We protect your information with appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, private per-account file storage, and access controls. We use only the cookies and local storage needed to keep you signed in and remember your selected tax year; we do not use advertising cookies.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date above. Continued use of getAItaxfiler after a change means you accept the updated policy.
