Overview
Expat Tax Desk is an informational website. It collects as little personal data as the web allows. This policy explains what the site itself does and what third-party advertising, if and when enabled, does.
Information the site collects
The site itself runs no analytics and sets no first-party cookies. There are no accounts, no newsletters, no comment systems, and no forms that store data. Standard server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamp) may be kept by the hosting provider for security and abuse prevention.
Advertising and cookies (Google AdSense)
This site displays advertising delivered by Google AdSense. When advertising is enabled:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
- Where required by law (including the EU/EEA and UK), a consent banner governs personalized advertising and non-essential cookies before they are set.
This disclosure follows Google's AdSense program policy requirements for sites displaying AdSense advertising.
Links to other websites
The guides link to government sources (irs.gov, fincen.gov, treasury.gov, ecfr.gov) and occasionally to professional commentary. Those sites have their own privacy practices; this site is not responsible for them.
Children
The content is directed at adults dealing with foreign-account reporting. The site does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If advertising or analytics are enabled in the future, this policy will be updated and the date above will change.
