Ensuring the security and privacy of documents and data is
of utmost importance to our business. We maintain
industry-leading safeguards to provide the highest level of
assurance regarding data security.
Our software operates on servers hosted in an extremely
secure data center, subject to round-the-clock monitoring.
All communication between your computers and our servers is
fortified with the same encryption technology utilized in
electronic filing and electronic banking. This communication
is encrypted and authenticated using robust protocols (TLS
1.2), a secure key exchange (ECDHE_RSA with P-256), and a
strong cipher (AES_128_GCM). We employ a DigiCert SSL
Certificate and server-gated cryptography to ensure the
robust encryption of all data exchanged with our application
services.
We want to emphasize that we will never contact or solicit
your clients for any reason, nor will we ever sell or rent
any information from their source documents. All your data
is securely stored within the United States and is
inaccessible to any entity or computer outside of the
country.
As outlined in our Privacy Statement, client records may
only be accessed for specific purposes, including resolving
issues, addressing support concerns, ensuring quality,
investigating suspected violations of SimpliFlow's User
Agreement, or as mandated by law. The employees authorized
to access this data have undergone extensive background
checks, work within secure areas in our U.S. offices
(accessible only via secure passkeys), adhere to strict
confidentiality agreements, and are fully insured.
SimpliFlow products also adhere to IRC Section 7216
compliance. Tax professionals using SimpliFlow products for
return preparation are not required to obtain written
consent from clients to use or disclose tax data. This is
because SimpliFlow services are classified as tax
preparer-to-tax preparer disclosures, as described in
Treasury Regulations Section 301.7216-2(d)(1). This is made
possible by the fact that all SimpliFlow service providers
are situated within the United States, and SimpliFlow
Populate offers auxiliary services in connection with tax
return preparation that do not involve substantive
determinations or advice affecting taxpayers' reported tax
liability.
We trust that this information instills confidence in our
commitment to managing sensitive data with the utmost care
and integrity.
