We believe tax filing should be empowering — not intimidating. That's why we prioritize transparency, strong data protection, and customer-focused support at every step.
At Refund Minute, protecting your personal and financial information is our top priority. We handle all data — including Social Security numbers, income details, and bank information — with the highest level of security and confidentiality.
Information We Collect: To prepare and file your tax return, we collect necessary details such as your name, address, SSN/ITIN, filing status, income documents (W-2, 1099s, etc.), deductions/credits information, and banking details for direct deposit (if chosen).
How We Use Your Information: Your data is used exclusively to calculate your taxes, prepare accurate returns, e-file with the IRS and state agencies (as authorized by you), and provide support or status updates. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except as required to file your return or as permitted by law.
Data Protection: All sensitive information is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored securely, and protected by industry-standard safeguards. We comply with applicable federal regulations, including IRS Section 7216 requirements for tax return data.
Policy Updates: We may revise this policy to reflect legal or service changes. The current version is always posted here. For questions about your privacy, please contact us.
Security isn't an add-on at Refund Minute — it's the foundation of everything we do. As an authorized IRS e-file provider, we meet and exceed IRS security and privacy standards (including those in Publication 1345 and the Security Summit guidelines) to protect your sensitive tax data from entry to e-filing and beyond.
Core Security Features We Implement:
How We Built It: From day one, our engineering team prioritized "security by design." We selected cloud infrastructure with built-in compliance tools, integrated bank-level encryption libraries, and implemented the IRS "Security Six" (antivirus/firewall/MFA/backup/encryption/VPN) across our systems. We continuously update protocols based on emerging threats, IRS guidance, and independent penetration testing — because protecting your financial information is non-negotiable.
Your trust matters most. If you have questions about our security practices, please reach out — we're happy to explain more.
