Note: The Arizona Department of Revenue does not read any of your private online communications.

The Arizona Department of Revenue encourages you to review the privacy statements of the websites you choose to link to from the Arizona Department of Revenue so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information.

The Arizona Department of Revenue may also contact you via surveys to research your opinion of current services or new services that may be offered.

The Arizona Department of Revenue does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. From time to time, the Arizona Department of Revenue may contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, the Arizona Department of Revenue may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you emails or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange deliveries.

Use of Cookies

The Arizona Department of Revenue website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Arizona Department of Revenue pages, or register with the Arizona Department of Revenue site or services, a cookie helps the Arizona Department of Revenue to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Arizona Department of Revenue website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Arizona Department of Revenue features that you customized.

You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Arizona Department of Revenue services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Arizona Department of Revenue secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The Arizona Department of Revenue secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

The Arizona Department of Revenue will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. Arizona Department of Revenue encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how the Arizona Department of Revenue is protecting your information.
