The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters is a leading provider of
solutions for accounting, tax and corporate finance professionals. Tax & Accounting
respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website. This Privacy
Policy outlines the information we may collect and how it may use that information.
Personal Data
Tax & Accounting does not automatically collect personally identifiable information
from each visitor through our site. We do recognize and collect IP address,
browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, number
of clicks, using domain name of the website from which you linked to our site,
and country/state. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the
site, track visitor's movement, and analyze broad demographic trends.
When you view our website, we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "Cookie" or similar file and can help us in many ways. For example, Cookies allow us to tailor a website to better match your interest and preferences. The use of cookies is relatively standard and you will likely find them used on most other major Web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. With most Internet Browsers, you can erase Cookies from your computer hard drive, block all Cookies or receive a warning before a Cookie is stored. Please refer to your Browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.
In some areas of our website, we ask you to provide personally identifiable information. The personal information you provide will be kept confidential and used to support your interactions with us.
Registration
During registration a visitor is required to provide us with specific personal
information. The information requested may vary depending on the service being
registered for. This information is used to notify the visitor about the services
on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the visitor
to provide demographic information such as practice area or type of firm, but
encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Newsletters and Special Promotions
If a visitor wishes to subscribe to our newsletters and special promotions,
we ask for contact information such as name and email address. We will not
sell, share, or rent this information for commercial purposes to any person

your online purchase. This information is strictly confidential. Financial information
is only used for billing purposes and to complete customers' orders.

be retained for follow up with individuals in addressing their specific inquiries.
We may also contact you by mail or telephone regarding information on new products

Circumstances may arise where Tax & Accounting is legally required to disclose
personal information to third parties such as in connection with a corporate
divestiture or dissolution, or governmental investigations.

If you do not wish to receive such mailings, you may tell us when you register.

Notification of Changes
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses
not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices
change at some time in the future we will post and highlight the policy changes
in our privacy policy on our website. You will have the ability
to opt out of these new uses.
Security
Personal information is handled with the same quality of care as all Tax & Accounting
information to ensure the integrity and security of your data. When we ask users
to provide sensitive information (such as credit card number or Social Security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) encryption technology. While on a secure page such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of your Web browser becomes locked. You can
also identify the secure connection by looking at the URL, which will begin
with https: (instead of http:).
