This policy covers the Arc & Ledger Tax Tools remote MCP server at https://mcp.arcandledger.com/mcp, which exposes our free tax calculators and intake tools inside AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT. The server is public, requires no authentication or account, and is read-only. It creates no practitioner-client relationship and stores no tax returns, documents, or client records.

1. What data we collect

When your AI assistant calls one of our tools, it sends the specific inputs needed for that calculation (for example a notice code, a filing status, or an income figure). These inputs are processed in memory to compute the response and are not stored. We keep only coarse, anonymous operational logs, described below. We do not ask for, receive, or store your name, contact details, Social Security number, or any document.

2. How we use it

Tool inputs are used only to produce the tool's answer during the request and are then discarded. Our anonymous logs are used solely to keep the service running, rate-limit abuse, and understand aggregate demand (which tools are used, how often). We do not use any input to build a profile of you.

3. What we log (and what we never log)

Each request writes one anonymous log line containing the tool name, a timestamp, and coarse enum parameters only (for example a notice code or an entity type). We never log free-text you enter, computed dollar amounts, or any identifying information. Numeric inputs are dropped or reduced to a wide bucket so a real figure can never appear in a log. These logs are retained for 30 days and then deleted.

4. No sharing, no sale

We do not sell your information, and we do not share tool inputs with any third party. The server runs on Cloudflare Workers, which processes requests as our infrastructure provider under its own terms; no advertising, analytics, or data-broker services receive your inputs. If you choose to click a handoff link to book a call or make a payment, that action is governed by the privacy policy of the destination (Cal.com or Stripe) and by our main website privacy policy.

5. Data retention

Tool inputs are not retained beyond the moment they are processed. The anonymous operational logs described above are retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted. We keep no long-term record tied to you.

Children

The service is intended for adults handling their own or their business's US tax questions and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and post the revised version at this URL.
