What you send us. We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number anywhere on this site except the contact form, and we only have them if you type them in and press send. We do not sell or rent that information to anyone, and we use it only to answer you.
What your browser sends automatically. Like most websites, this one loads a few third-party services, and your browser contacts them when a page opens. That is how analytics, typefaces and online booking work. Those services can see technical information such as your IP address, your approximate location, your device and browser, and which page you are on, whether or not you ever contact us. They are listed below.
The form asks for your name, email address, an optional phone number, the subject you need help with, and your message. Everything you type into the form, including your phone number and any description of your tax situation, is processed by Web3Forms, a third-party form-processing service, which emails it to jeff@hocketttax.com. Web3Forms handles that information under its own privacy terms. We keep the email as long as we need it to respond and to maintain our business records.
Please do not put Social Security numbers, tax documents or bank details in the form.
Information you give us as a client is confidential. Tax professionals are also bound by federal rules governing the use and disclosure of tax return information, including Internal Revenue Code section 7216. We do not disclose your tax information to anyone outside the firm except as you direct us or as the law requires.
This site uses Google Analytics to count visits, phone taps and bookings, and Google may set cookies for that purpose under its own privacy terms. It runs no advertising trackers. It loads typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google’s servers when a page loads; that request is subject to Google’s privacy terms. Booking an appointment opens Calendly, our scheduling provider, and anything you enter there is subject to Calendly’s privacy terms. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which sees the ordinary request information any web host sees, including your IP address.
Most browsers let you block cookies, and analytics can be blocked with a browser extension; the site works either way.
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete anything we are not required to keep. Write to jeff@hocketttax.com or call (623) 257-3048. Records we are legally obliged to retain, such as copies of filed returns, we have to keep.
If this policy changes we will update this page and the date below.
