Home / Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026Privacy Policy
This page explains what information Sinclair Tax Services collects through this website, how it's used, and the choices available to you. It does not cover information you provide directly to us in person, by phone, or as part of an engagement to prepare your taxes — that information is governed by our client engagement terms and applicable tax preparer confidentiality rules, not this page.
Information we collect through this site
Contact form. When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email, phone number, selected topic, and message. This is processed through Formspree, a third-party form service, and delivered to our office email.
Appointment booking. When you book an appointment through the scheduling widget on our Contact page, that booking is handled directly by Microsoft Bookings, not by this website. Information you enter there (name, email, phone, appointment details) is collected and stored by Microsoft under its own privacy terms, and syncs to our Outlook calendar.
Site analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — pages viewed, general location (city/region level, not precise), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to do this. We don't use this data to identify you personally.
Embedded map. Our Contact page embeds a Google Map. Google may set its own cookies when that map loads, governed by Google's privacy policy, not ours.
How we use this information
We use information submitted through this site to respond to inquiries, schedule and manage appointments, and understand how people use our website so we can improve it. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
