Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Information We Collect

We collect contact information you provide (name, email, company) and financial data you upload through the secure portal. All uploaded financial data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely to provide R&D tax credit consulting services. We do not sell client data. We may share limited information with service providers necessary to operate the website, secure portal, email delivery, analytics, or engagement support.

Third-Party Service Providers

Alexander & Blake may use third-party service providers for hosting, email delivery, file storage, and analytics. All providers are evaluated for security and data handling practices.

Data Storage Location

All engagement data is stored on servers located in the United States.

Data Security

All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256. File access requires signed URLs that expire within 15 minutes. Role-based access controls ensure that client data is isolated from other clients.

Data Retention

Engagement records are retained for 7 years from the tax year of the engagement to support potential examination support needs. You may request deletion of non-engagement data at any time.

Data Deletion Requests

Clients may request deletion of their data by contacting partnerships@alexanderandblake.com. Engagement records required for examination support may be retained for the applicable retention period.

Engagement Records vs. Contact Records

Contact form submissions and estimator results are retained as lead records. Engagement records — including financial data, project documentation, and study materials — are subject to the 7-year retention policy.

Incident Response

In the event of a data security incident, affected parties will be notified promptly with details of the incident and remediation steps taken.

Cookies & Analytics

This site may use analytics tools to understand site usage. No personally identifiable information is shared with advertising platforms.
