    Privacy Policy

    Last updated August 23, 2026

    The short version

    PRISM Tax Intelligence is a tax preparation and tax decision-support practice. Information you give us as a prospective or existing client is treated as confidential and is never sent to advertising or analytics platforms. Google receives aggregate measurement about pages and clicks — never your name, email address, telephone number, message contents, tax details, or financial details.

    Information we collect

    Information you provide. Name, email address, optional telephone number, and the message you write when you use a contact form; account details and documents you upload to a secure PRISM workspace; and information exchanged in the course of an engagement.

    Information collected automatically. Pages viewed, referring page, browser user agent, approximate general location derived from your network address by our analytics providers, and interaction events such as which buttons were clicked. This is stored in PRISM's own backend and, where you have allowed it, in Google Analytics.

    Payments. Card details are entered with Stripe and are never held by PRISM.

    What we send to analytics and advertising platforms

    Only the following leaves the site for Google. Everything else is first-party measurement stored in PRISM's backend.

    page_viewA page loads or the route changesPage path and title (query strings and fragments removed)Google Analytics
    book_appointment_clickYou click through to the booking calendarWhich surface was clicked and the destination nameGoogle Analytics / Google Ads

    Product and reading eventsNavigating PRISM tools and Library articlesPage path, section, and interaction labelsPRISM backend only

    Web addresses reported to Google are stripped of URL fragments and of every query parameter other than campaign tags, so tokens contained in links (unsubscribe links, workspace invitations, sign-in callbacks) cannot reach an analytics platform.

    PRISM does not use session recording, screen replay, heatmaps, or keystroke capture, and no such third-party library is installed. Partially completed form fields are never transmitted anywhere.

    How information is shared

    PRISM does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Service providers that process information on PRISM's behalf include our hosting and database provider, Google Analytics and Google Ads (aggregate site measurement only), Google Calendar (when you book a call), Stripe (payments), and our transactional email provider. Client tax information is disclosed only as you direct or as law requires.

    California privacy rights

    This policy is posted in accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act, which requires commercial websites collecting personal information from California residents to disclose the categories collected, the parties with whom they are shared, how changes are announced, and how the site responds to browser privacy signals.

    If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, applies to PRISM, California residents may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, and may direct that it not be sold or shared. PRISM does not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined, and does not discriminate against anyone exercising a privacy right. Requests can be made using the contact details below.

    Retention and security

    Site measurement records are retained for as long as they remain useful for understanding site performance. Client records are retained for the period required for professional and tax recordkeeping obligations. Access to client information is restricted, workspace documents are held in access-controlled storage, and data is transmitted over encrypted connections.

    Children

    PRISM's services are directed to adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

    Changes to this policy

    When this policy changes, the revised version is posted here and the “last updated” date above is revised. Material changes are also communicated to active clients.

    Questions about this policy, or a privacy request, can be sent to info@prismtaxintelligence.com or made by phone at (917) 724-3965.

    PRISM uses Google Analytics to measure how the site is used. Until you allow it, no analytics or advertising cookies are set and Google receives only an anonymous, cookieless signal. Nothing you type into a form is ever sent to Google. See our privacy policy.
