Security

Your file stays on your computer. It holds SSNs, EINs, names and amounts, and we built this so we never see any of it.

How we enforce it

  1. Every page sends a Content Security Policy that lets your browser connect only to our own site. Your browser refuses connections from these pages to any other site.
  2. Our automated tests load a fake file and fail if any request carries its TINs, names or raw record text.
  3. We build only from public IRS publications. We never ask for, and never see, your IRIS credentials.
