This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we process personal data. Throughout this Policy the term "personal data" means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (i.e. a natural person). "Silvermine Group" refers to Silvermine Group of Wilton, LLC, including its affiliates (also referred to as "we", "us", or "our"). This Policy applies for processing of your personal data where Silvermine Group is the data controller or where we refer to the applicability of this Policy. We may provide additional privacy information in connection with our products and services through service descriptions and other notices. Such information prevails over this Policy to the extent of any conflict.
Third party cookies installed on your device may allow access to information available on your computer or Internet connected device. Our products or services may contain links to other companies' websites and services that have privacy policies of their own. We recommend that you read the privacy policies of such third party services. Silvermine Group is not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of any such third party services.
By using Silvermine Group’s websites, applications and related services and/or by submitting personal data to Silvermine Group, you agree to the processing of your personal data as explained in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use this website or provide Silvermine Group with your personal data.

When you use Silvermine Group websites and services like www.eform2290.com, you may provide information to set up your profile, send messages, perform searches and queries, add applications, and transmit information. You provide this content and profile information (collectively "User Content") at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages. If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our websites and services, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will send your friend an email in your name inviting him or her to visit the site, and may send reminders to them. Silvermine Group stores this information to send invitations and reminders to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at www.eform2290.com/unsubscribe to request that we remove this information from our database.
We collect your personal data typically when you make a purchase, use or register into our products and services, take part in a campaign or otherwise interact with us. Below are examples of the categories of data we collect.
Information we receive when you create an account or request services or information from us or companies with whom we have business relationships, or when you complete surveys or polls, such as your name, address, e-mail address and payment or billing information.
Information to help prepare to file your tax return or for other services.
Information to provide technical or customer support.
In order to prepare your application to file your United States federal tax return, and to file your application for an extension, we collect information about you, such as your name, address, and social security number or tax identification number, as well as your estimate of your total tax liability, your total previous tax payments, your estimate of the balance due, and other information.
Tax return information that Silvermine Group collects from you is controlled by Section 7216 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999, certain other laws, and Silvermine Group policies. Silvermine Group discloses or uses your tax return information only in accordance with applicable laws.
Although we take certain steps to insure the accuracy of your return, it may be rejected for a variety of reasons or for no reason at all, including reasons that are beyond our control. Silvermine Group only facilitates the transmittal of tax returns that have already been prepared by you, or with information supplied by you. We do not offer tax advice and make no guarantees or representations regarding the quality or accuracy of the data you enter.
As part of the tax filing process, the IRS requires Silvermine Group to request the e-mail address of the person electronically filing a tax return and, if an email address is collected, provide it to the IRS. As a method for detecting fraud in connection with the electronic filing of tax returns transmitted via the Internet, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") requires Silvermine Group to provide to the IRS the Internet Protocol ("IP") information (e.g., IP Address, IP Date, IP Time and IP Time Zone) of the computer from which the return originated associated with that tax extension application.
During the customer service and technical support process, we request certain personal information including your name, address, phone numbers and e-mail address. We use this personal information to contact you to answer your question or resolve your issue. We may send you a follow-up survey.
We offer various Internet Chat services, for example, to speak with a support representative. Internet Chat transmissions are encrypted but you should not supply more personal or tax information than is required to address your specific issue. A transcript of the session is generated and retained, and may be used to resolve current and potential future questions or issues.
We retain copies of your completed and filed tax return or extension application as required by IRS and state regulations. This information may also be used to provide you with a copy of your tax return or extension application for your convenience.
We may use service companies on our behalf to perform services for you but these companies are not allowed to use your information for their own purposes.

We require them to act consistently with this Policy and to use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data.
International transfers of personal data
Our products and services may be provided using resources and servers located in various countries around the world.

In such cases we take steps to ensure that there is a legal basis for such a transfer and that adequate protection for your personal data is provided as required by applicable law, for example, by using standard agreements approved by relevant authorities (where necessary) and by requiring the use of other appropriate technical and organizational information security measures.
Mandatory disclosures
We may be obligated by mandatory law to disclose your personal data to certain authorities or other third parties, for example, to law enforcement agencies in the countries where we, or third parties acting on our behalf, operate. We may also disclose and otherwise process your personal data in accordance with applicable law to defend Silvermine Group's legitimate interests, for example, in civil or criminal legal proceedings.

How Do We Use Cookies and Web Beacons?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to your computer by a web server. We use cookies to provide benefits to you. Session cookies remember the previous activity performed by you, for example an item you placed in a shopping cart. Persistent cookies are used to save your preferences over multiple sessions, for example personalization of settings on our websites and applications. Cookies may be used to display targeted ads and recommendations, for example to eliminate showing the same ads to you multiple times or showing ads that we think are of interest to you based on your past actions on our website or applications.

Silvermine Group may use web beacons (or "pixel tags") in connection with some of our websites and applications. However, we do not use them to identify individual users personally.

This information is used to improve our services. Web beacons do not typically collect any other information than what your browser provides us with as a standard part of any Internet communication. If you turn off cookies, the web beacon will no longer be able to track your specific activity. The web beacon may, however, continue to collect information about visits from your IP-address. Some Silvermine Group websites or applications may utilize so called locally stored objects, such as Flash local shared objects ("Flash cookies") or HTML5 Web Storage. Locally stored objects are used for similar purposes as cookies but typically may contain a greater amount and different types of data than browser cookies. For example, in Flash you can use the Flash Player Settings Manager to control the storage of local shared objects, including disabling the local shared objects for certain websites only or disabling the storage of local shared objects completely for all websites. Some Silvermine Group websites use third party advertising technologies, such as DoubleClick, to serve ads. DoubleClick uses a cookie to collect information about your visits to Silvermine Group and third party websites. This information will be used to serve ads on Silvermine Group and third party websites. The collected information will not be directly personally identifiable nor will DoubleClick share the information with third parties. You may choose to disable the DoubleClick cookie at any time by using DoubleClick opt-out cookie. You may also go to http://networkadvertising.org/ to install an opt-out cookie. Most browsers allow you to disable or allow the use of cookies. You may also delete the cookies on your computer if your browser so permits. If you disable cookies, you may not be able to use certain parts of our services and you may need to re-install the opt-out cookie.
