EIN Filing Services may disable your user ID and password at its discretion, without notice or explanation.
Do Not Track (DNT) is a web browser setting that requests web applications to disable tracking of individual users. When you enable the DNT setting in your browser, it sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter, asking them to stop tracking your activity.
While various third parties are developing signals and mechanisms for expressing consumer preferences regarding the collection of information about online activities over time and across different websites, there is currently no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to a DNT signal. At this time, we do not monitor or take action based on these signals or mechanisms. For more information on Do Not Track, you can learn more here.
You have choices regarding how we use your information, and we want to ensure you have the information necessary to make the right decisions for yourself.
If you no longer wish to receive marketing-related emails, you can opt out by following the instructions in any email you receive from us or by contacting us at [email protected].

Please note that your choice will not impact our ability to share information in the other ways described in this Privacy Policy.
The Site is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not request or knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under 18 has provided us with their information, please contact us at [email protected] to request the deletion of that information.
We implement reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Information. However, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure—such as if you think your account security has been compromised—please notify us immediately as outlined in the “Contact Us” section below.

We strive to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you need to update your contact information, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We will make reasonable efforts to update your details in our active databases as soon as possible, though we may retain previous information for our business records.

However, since EIN Filing Services collaborates with global companies and technologies, your Personal Information may be transferred outside the country where it was originally provided. This includes transfers to third parties, such as service providers or affiliated entities located outside the United States or the European Union, where data protection laws may not provide the same level of protection as in the U.S. When we transfer Personal Information beyond these areas, we take measures to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.
