Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for your data?

USTaxes.se is the website responsible for the processing described in this policy. The legal entity operating USTaxes.se, its postal address and a dedicated privacy contact will be inserted here before the public launch.

2. What the current site collects

The current pre-launch version is primarily a static informational website. The newsletter and “Find Tax Help” email fields shown on the site are placeholders and are not currently connected to a system that stores or sends the submitted address.

When the website is hosted publicly, the hosting infrastructure may automatically process normal technical information such as IP address, request time, browser/device information, requested URL and server/security logs. This information can be necessary to deliver and protect the website.

3. Third-party resources currently used

USTaxes.se currently loads Google Fonts for typography. When your browser requests those resources, Google may receive technical request information such as your IP address and browser information.

4. Google Analytics and analytics consent

USTaxes.se uses Google Analytics with measurement ID G-DFGX37S8RC to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site.

USTaxes.se uses Google Advanced Consent Mode. Analytics storage is set to denied by default. Before you make a choice, and after a decline, Google Analytics cookies are not permitted by our consent configuration. Google may nevertheless receive limited cookieless measurement signals, which Google describes as not using persistent user identifiers and as being used for measurement and modeling.

If you choose “Allow analytics”, analytics storage is updated to granted and Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers for fuller measurement.

Your consent choice is saved locally in your browser so that the website can remember it. You can reopen the consent controls at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer and change your choice.

Advertising-related consent states remain denied in the current configuration, and Google Signals / ad-personalization signals are disabled.

5. Future email and expert-matching features

If USTaxes.se enables newsletters, waitlists, contact forms or expert matching, we may need to process information such as your email address, your message and the tax-topic categories you voluntarily provide.

Before those features are activated, this policy will identify the purpose, legal basis, service providers, retention period and any relevant international data transfers.

6. Legal bases

Where the GDPR applies, personal data must have a lawful basis for processing. Depending on the future feature, that may include consent, performance of a requested service, compliance with a legal obligation or a legitimate interest that does not override your rights and freedoms.

7. How long data is kept

Technical server logs should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting and operational purposes, subject to the configuration of the hosting provider. Any future mailing-list, contact or referral data will receive a specific retention rule before collection begins.

8. Sharing and processors

USTaxes.se does not sell personal data. Google may process analytics data when a visitor has consented to Google Analytics. Hosting providers may also process technical server data required to deliver and secure the website. Future email, form or professional-matching providers will be added to this policy when those services are actually enabled.

9. International transfers

Google and other infrastructure providers may process data outside Sweden or the European Economic Area depending on their service architecture. Where required, USTaxes.se relies on applicable transfer mechanisms and safeguards made available by the relevant provider and applicable law.

10. Your GDPR rights

Depending on the circumstances, GDPR rights can include the right to receive information, access personal data, correct inaccurate data, request erasure, restrict processing, object to certain processing and receive portable data. Where processing is based on consent, consent can generally be withdrawn without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).

11. Security

USTaxes.se aims to use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the information being processed. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

12. Children

USTaxes.se is intended for adults dealing with U.S. tax and financial-compliance questions. We do not intentionally design the site to collect personal data directly from children.

13. Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated as USTaxes.se moves from a static educational prototype to a production website. The “Last updated” date will change when material changes are made.
