II. General Information about Intuit Products and Services
Our Privacy Program is based on the following globally recognized
principles: accountability, notice, choice, security, responsible information sharing, data use and data integrity, and access.
Registration. Some of our products and services require you to register. During the
registration process we ask for your name, address and phone number, and e-mail address. We use this information to communicate important or critical product information to you. We may also use this information to send you special offers. You can choose whether and how you receive these offers at our Marketing Preference Center. If you register your software purchase online, your software license and version information may be sent to Intuit. We may also ask you to answer some optional questions about yourself and how you use the product to help us with development of future versions. We may obtain additional information about you, such as address change information, from commercially available sources, in order to keep our records current.
If you set up an administrator account -- one that may be accessed and changed by people other than you -- you should know that these other people may see your billing information, change or delete your data, etc.
Customer Service and Technical Support. During the Customer Service and
Technical Support Process, we request certain personal information including your name, address, phone numbers and e-mail address. We may use this information to resolve your issue and to follow up with you about your experience. If you contact us from within a product or service, we may also collect information to help us
understand what page you are viewing. We may ask you to send us some information about your computer configuration.
We offer various Internet Chat services, for example, to speak with an Intuit support representative or tax advisor. 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.
Feedback. We have many places where users can provide feedback and
suggestions, for example, surveys that you may answer when you exit a product or service. Answering is optional. We combine your answers with those of others to better understand our products and how we may improve them.
Data Retention and Access. We will retain the information necessary to serve you
and to maintain your account for as long as your account is active. If information you have provided to us changes you may correct or update it either through the service or through our customer support services. When you close your account, we may continue to communicate with you about important business updates that may affect you, and to let you know about products and services that may interest you. You may opt out of any marketing messages. We may also continue to use some of your information for business purposes to improve our offerings or in some cases to develop new ones. We will retain and use your information as required by applicable regulations and with Intuit's records and information management policies to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Requests for information deletion should be sent to [email protected]. Those requests will be responded to within 30 days.
Phishing and Fraud. At Intuit, safeguarding your personal information is a top
priority. Part of our commitment is making you aware of popular identity theft and fraud scams and providing you with information to protect yourself. We will post information about these scams on the Intuit Security website. Although sometimes difficult to identify, you may receive hoax e-mails, such as phishing scams, that look authentic and appear to have been sent by a company or government agency you recognize. These e-mails ask you to provide or confirm your sensitive personal information by clicking on entice you, they often claim an urgent or threatening condition concerning your account, or offer you a prize or reward. You should not reply or click on any links in the e-mail or provide any personal information without verifying that the e-mail is legitimate through another channel. Intuit does not solicit sensitive customer information via e-mail. If you receive an e-mail message that appears to come from us that requests such information, please forward it immediately to: [email protected]. We will respond quickly to help lessen potential damage.
Tracking Technologies. Intuit and out service providers may use tools to
recognize your visit and track your interactions with our Offerings. Sometimes this tracking is necessary in order for us to provide you the service you requested or to customize your experience, for example, to know if you are using a secure session or if you have the right to access certain data. Other times, we combine this information with that of other users to improve your and other customers'
experience. Some examples of tracking technologies include cookies, web beacons, local shared objects, and other tools. You have control over some of the information we collect and how we use it. Information on changing your browser settings to opt out of cookies and other tracking technologies can be found in your browser help files. Our advertising may employ tracking technologies to recognize that you use Intuit services so we can present you with a relevant ad. If you click on an ad, we or our service provider may recognize that and measure which ads are more effective. You can control some advertising by visiting the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising, the Network Advertising Initiative to Opt-Out of Interest-Based Advertising. Please visit the Future of Privacy Forum for more information about Do Not Track and the W3C. You can opt-out of targeted ads on Facebook. When we log activity on Intuit Web sites, we collect information such as the date and time, your IP address, browser type and version, and pages you view. Web logs also record the site which you came from and any links you click on to leave our sites. We do not track URLs that you type into your browser, nor do we track you across the Internet once you leave our sites. We use your Web site activity to assist you by reducing your need to re-enter your data and to help us resolve technical support issues. We may also use this information to offer you a personalized Web experience, including offers to help you and to tailor our offerings to you. We may use device-printing technology on your connected computer or mobile device to recognize the device to detect and prevent fraudulent activity.

Connecting With Your Financial Institution
To provide you with services that connect with your financial institution, we must access your online account with that institution. We request the user name, password and any other login information that you have set up with your financial institution to enable access. We use your login credentials to routinely update and maintain the financial information you download, and to address errors or service interruptions in the download process, and to enhance the services we may provide in the future. If we store your login credentials, we will maintain and encrypt them on our firewall-protected servers. Some financial institutions require you to manually update your financial information and re-enter your login information before
downloading each transaction. This information is encrypted and transmitted using secure socket layer technology, making it unreadable during transmission. It is then stored on our secure servers.
Your Information and Other Companies
Intuit's Use of Other Companies. Sometimes Intuit will ask outside firms, or third

or report personal information when we believe, in good faith, we're required to do so by law or to protect our legal rights. We may also do this in connection with an investigation into a suspected violation involving a Terms of Service, fraud,
intellectual property infringement, or other activity that may be illegal or expose us to legal liability.

Reporting to Credit Bureaus. We may report and share information about your
account to credit bureaus, consumer reporting agencies and card associations. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report and consumer report.

associations in connection with issues related to fraud, credit or debt collection.

Intuit has no control over the privacy practices of these third party organizations.
Jointly Offered Products and Services. We work with other companies or
developers to offer you products and services. Sometimes Intuit may let you know about the service or another company may let you know about an Intuit service.

This exchange of data is necessary to maintain business operations and to provide the ongoing service.

Links to Other Sites and Third Party Services. Our Web sites may provide links
to third-party sites, such as those of our business partners and online advertisers. These could include other services such as social media.

Security Question: In order for our automated password recovery system to make
sure that the person who is trying to reset a password is authorized to do so, we ask you to select a security question like "who was your favorite teacher". These
questions are selected to have you choose a question and supply an answer that would be meaningful to you and not to fraudsters.

whatismyip.com will show the address where your internal network is connected to the Internet. Some IP addresses are "static" which means that they remain the same over time. Other IP addresses are described as "dynamic" which means the

Product/Service Specific Information
Applications Developed by Other Companies: The Intuit App Center is an online marketplace for Web Applications some of which integrate with our products. When the application is developed by a third party, that third party will be identified and the third party's privacy policy will apply. When applications are developed by Intuit, this privacy policy applies.
Websites: Intuit provides a subscription Web site hosting service. This privacy statement does not apply to any Web site of a third party subscribing to that service. Any information you provide for the purpose of registering a domain name will
become part of the public WHOIS database.
QuickBase: Your QuickBase service is billed to an account. QuickBase recognizes the account in which your data lives as the owner of your data. The account is responsible for payment and can transfer ownership of your data. Account owners and administrators should keep in mind that if they grant another individual full
administrative rights to their account, that person will have access to the account's billing information.
QuickBase billing accounts allow access and control over database information dependent upon the roles assigned to specific members of the account A billing account administrator can delete your application without your permission. However, the billing account administrator will not have privileges to view or alter the data unless you grant such access. QuickBase users in the same e-mail domain will be able to see each other's e-mail addresses in addition to their QuickBase screen names. This increases your ability to correctly identify a QuickBase user within your company, which is helpful when granting access permissions. Billing account
administrators can also deny any user access to the entire account. If an account owns the e-mail address tied to a user account, a billing account administrator can completely deactivate that user's QuickBase account. Please exercise caution when assigning billing account administration rights.
Any content you place in a QuickBase database will not be publicly available unless you voluntarily choose to give permission to other QuickBase users, to QuickBase groups, or to the general public for that database. Intuit will not view, use, or distribute the content of any of your databases without your prior permission or the express permission of the database owner, except as stated under "Legal
Disclosures."
You have control over who has access to the data in your databases. When you first create a database, only you have access. At your discretion, you may choose to allow others access to your database. You decide who gets access and at what level (view, modify and/or create).

between you and Intuit, products and services under this privacy statement are not "HIPAA-ready" or "HIPAA-compliant," and will not assist with or ensure compliance with HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. You are solely responsible for using these products and services to comply with all applicable federal and state privacy laws relating to medical or health information.
