This policy explains what information we collect when you use Sooner Tax Service?s sites and content (?Services?). It also has information about how we store, use, transfer, and delete that information.
Information we collect and how we use it
Sooner Tax Service doesn?t make money from ads. So we don?t collect data in order to advertise to you. Tracking we do at Sooner Tax Service is to make our product work as well as possible.
In order to give you the best possible experience, we collect information from your interactions with our network. Some of this information, you actively tell us (such as your email address, which we use to track your account or communicate with you). Other information, we collect based on actions you take while using Sooner Tax Service, such as what pages you access and your interactions with our product features. This information includes records of those interactions, your Internet Protocol address, information about your device (such as device or browser type), and referral information (how you were referred to the Sooner Tax Service site).
We use this information to:
• provide, test, improve, promote and personalize Sooner Tax Service Services
• measure and improve our site security
• fight spam and other forms of abuse
• generate information about how people use Sooner Tax Service Services
Information Disclosure
Sooner Tax Service won?t transfer information about you to third parties for the purpose of providing or facilitating third-party advertising to you. We won?t sell information about you.
We may share your account information with third parties in some circumstances, including when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process; or when we have a good faith belief that doing so will help prevent imminent harm to someone.
If we are going to share your information in response to legal process, we?ll give you notice so you can challenge it (for example by seeking court intervention), unless we?re prohibited by law or believe doing so may endanger others. We will object to requests for information about users of our services that we believe are improper.
Data Storage
Sooner Tax Service uses third-party vendors and hosting partners, such as Amazon, for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run Sooner Tax Service. We maintain two types of logs: server logs and event logs. By using Sooner Tax Service Services, you authorize Sooner Tax Service to transfer, store, and use your information in the United States and any other country where we operate.
Third-Party Embeds
Some of the content that you see displayed on Sooner Tax Service is not hosted by Sooner Tax Service. These ?embeds? are hosted by a third-party and embedded in Sooner Tax Service. For example: videos, gifs, audio files, tweets, GitHub code, or documents that appear within Sooner Tax Service. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a Sooner Tax Service post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, YouTube receives data about your activity). Sooner Tax Service does not control what data third parties collect in cases like this, or what they will do with it. So, third-party embeds on Sooner Tax Service are not covered by this privacy policy. They are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service.
Tracking & Cookies
We use browser cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you return to our Services. We use them in various ways, for example to log you in, remember your preferences, evaluate email effectiveness, and personalize content and other information.
Sooner Tax Service doesn?t track you across the Internet. We track only your interactions within the Sooner Tax Service network (which encompasses Sooner Tax Service.com and custom domains hosted by Sooner Tax Service). Some third-party services that we use to provide the Sooner Tax Service Service, such as Google Analytics, may place their own cookies in your browser. This Privacy Policy covers use of cookies by Sooner Tax Service only and not the use of cookies by third parties.
Sooner Tax Service complies with the ?Do Not Track? (?DNT?) standard recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium. For logged-out users browsing with DNT enabled, Sooner Tax Service?s analytics will not receive data about you, but we will do some first-party tracking in order to customize content and provide data to third-party service providers that enable Sooner Tax Service Services to work. When you use Sooner Tax Service while logged-in to your account, we cannot comply with DNT. Here?s some more information about Sooner Tax Service?s Do Not Track policy.
Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Information
To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may maintain residual copies for a brief time period. But, if you delete your account, your information and content will be unrecoverable after that time. Sooner Tax Service may preserve and maintain copies of your information when required to do so by law.
Data Security
We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can?t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you?re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.
Business Transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, reorganization or sale of assets such that your information would be transferred or become subject to a different privacy policy, we?ll notify you in advance so you can opt out of any such new policy by deleting your account before transfer.
Email from Sooner Tax Service
When your interact with an email sent from Sooner Tax Service (such as opening an email or clicking on a particular link in an email), we may receive information about that interaction. We won?t email you to ask for your password or other account information. If you receive such an email, please send it to us so we can investigate.
Changes to this Policy
Sooner Tax Service may periodically update this Policy. We?ll notify you about significant changes to it. The most current version of the policy will always be here and we will archive former versions of the policy here.

In such cases, users authoring such content containing personal data of third parties are responsible for that content.

Sooner Tax Service also filters content for the purposes of fighting and preventing spam, fraud, and other forms of abuse.
Potential Consequences of Processing
By creating an account on Sooner Tax Service, users may make certain personal data about themselves public and accessible to others on their profile and through network interactions. This may in some cases constitute special category protected data which is considered manifestly made public by the user.
Due to the public nature of information posted to Sooner Tax Service, it may be possible for third parties to derive identifying personal data from posts, whether by reading, inference, supplemental research, or automated extraction and analysis.
Users are free to use their real name and information, or a pseudonym of their choosing, for their account.

It may take several additional days for your personal data to be de-indexed from search engines, depending on those search engines? practices, over which Sooner Tax Service may have limited or no control.
