1. Who We Are / Data Controller
TaxeriPath (collectively referred to as "we", "us", or "our"), operating under Registered Business Identification Number 365812544, with its principal business address at 822 Richmond St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1C9, Canada, is the dedicated controller of personal data gathered within our web-based digital workspaces.
For any inquiries related to your information processing, contact our privacy officer directly by email: [email protected] or via phone: +1 (647) 207-7872.
2. Scope of This Policy
This privacy declaration applies to our main domain, digital services, document repositories, analytical databases, and contact form networks. It covers the tracking, collection, processing, and retention of personal data belonging to physical persons, small business representatives, and accounting associates interacting with TaxeriPath.
3. What Data We Collect
We process the following categories of information:
- Direct Form Inputs: Names, electronic mail addresses, phone registration details, message texts, files, receipts, bank statements uploaded within our workspace.
- Automated Network Data: IP numbers, hardware types, geographic region, log-on histories, and cookie signals.
- Third-Party Integrations: Analytics tools or advertising verification mechanisms with user approvals.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing
We manage data strictly corresponding to legal directives. The following matrix shows how we operate under Canadian regulations (including PIPEDA):
| Purpose | Categories of Data | Legal Basis under PIPEDA / GDPR |
|---|---|---|
| Fulfilling user support & contact requests | Contact details, name, input messages | User consent & contract performance |
| Providing tax-prep document storage | Uploaded bills, slips, receipts, profiles | Contract fulfillment and active user instructions |
| System optimization & security maintenance | IP history, access logs, machine identifiers | Legitimate operational interest |
| Marketing, ads, and cookies configuration | Consent signals, tracker tags, pixels | Explicit individual consent opt-in |
5. Cookie Preferences and Google Consent Mode v2
We support explicit opt-in preferences through our active Cookie Choice Framework. By default, marketing and performance measuring features (including Google Ads tracking or Google Analytics) are fully denied. These are only configured if a visitor explicitly chooses to accept cookies inside our banner. You can revert this arrangement at any time by selecting "Cookie Settings" in the footer.
6. Data Transfers and Sharing
TaxeriPath does not sell, lease, or rent contact databases or uploaded documents to marketing agencies or broker boards. Your data is only shared with authorized sub-processors (such as cloud hosting providers, secure data warehouses, and automated messaging APIs) solely to maintain active workspaces. In rare situations when requested by the CRA or a valid court mandate, records may be released as dictated by Canadian legal frameworks.
7. International File Transfer Protection
While TaxeriPath stores details in highly secure Canadian data centers, some service modules might execute processing across borders. In such instances, we employ Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and verify that all service platforms meet strict equivalent security criteria.
8. Retention Period
Financial accounting details and tax documents are retained for up to 6 years following file closure (matching official CRA standards for business compliance), or until the user requests manual account erasure, whichever comes first.
9. Your Legal Rights
Under Canadian federal frameworks (PIPEDA) and associated provincial laws, you possess legal rights to:
- Request access to your stored files and document repositories.
- Correct or update inaccurate contact records or calculations.
- Revoke consent previously given for analytical tracking or email bulletins.
- File inquiries directly with our regional regulator: The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).
10. Children's Privacy
Our tools are crafted strictly for adult business workers. We do not voluntarily gather data from people under 13 years of age. If you believe such files are in our systems, contact our privacy officer immediately for removal.
