Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Form568 ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our California Form 568 generation tool at form568.com (the "Service").

Information We Collect

We do not collect or store your tax information on our servers. All data you enter into the Form 568 interview (including but not limited to SSNs, FEINs, income figures, and addresses) is processed entirely in your web browser using client-side technology.

Your tax data is stored temporarily in your browser's localStorage to allow you to complete the interview across multiple sessions. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

How Your Data is Processed

  • Client-Side Processing: All form calculations and PDF generation occur in your browser. Your sensitive tax information is never sent to our servers.
  • Local Storage: Interview data is stored in your browser's localStorage. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser data or using the reset function in the application.
  • PDF Generation: The Form 568 PDF is generated entirely in your browser and downloaded directly to your device.

Information We May Collect

We may collect limited, non-sensitive information to improve the Service:

  • Usage Analytics: Anonymized data about how the Service is used (page views, feature usage) to improve user experience. This does not include any tax or personal financial information.
  • Technical Information: Browser type, device type, and general location (country level) for compatibility and performance purposes.

Your Rights Under California Law (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

  • Right to Know: You have the right to request information about what personal data we collect. Since we do not store your tax data, there is no tax information to disclose.
  • Right to Delete: You can delete your browser's localStorage data at any time to remove all locally stored information.
  • Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell personal information to third parties.
  • Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Since your tax data is processed entirely in your browser and never reaches our servers, there is no data to sell.

Data Security

We prioritize data security through our architecture:

  • Sensitive tax data never leaves your device
  • All connections to form568.com use HTTPS encryption
  • No server-side storage of SSNs, FEINs, or financial information
  • PDF generation occurs entirely client-side

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for analytics and hosting. These services receive only anonymized usage data and do not have access to your tax information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
