Privacy

What we collect

Your email address and a password (stored only as a salted hash), an optional pseudonymous display name, what you choose to post, and the choices you make on your settings page. Requests you send to the practice (an organizer, an appointment, "talk to my preparer") are kept so the practice can answer them.

What we do not collect here

Your return, notices, documents, identity numbers and bank details do not belong in this hub. They stay in your secure portal. If you type something that looks like an identity or card number, the hub refuses it.

Your choices

Contact, marketing email and reminders are separate, optional and off unless you turn them on. Joining or reading never turns any of them on. You can change or withdraw each one at any time in Settings and privacy; the date and wording version of each choice are recorded.

Cookies and measurement

One essential sign-in cookie keeps you signed in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party trackers. The practice sees aggregate counts, such as how many people read a guide, not a record of what you read.

The assistant

ATLAS answers general questions from the practice's approved guides. It is an AI assistant, not a person, and it gives general education, not tax or legal advice. Please do not type personal identity or account numbers into it.

Keeping and deleting your data

You can ask to delete your account in Settings and privacy. After a short cooling-off period your personal details are erased and anything you posted is kept anonymously. To ask about other data the practice holds about you, contact the office.

Who can join

This hub is for adults. It is not directed to children, and you must be 18 or older to create an account.
