Sometimes, we enter into contracts with third parties who assist us in servicing you such as filling customer orders or providing customer service. The contracts outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and prohibit third parties from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the product or service for which they've been contracted. Vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them. We may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or a law enforcement dynamoRequest. We have business partners that provide services, some of which are co-branded. Partner services and sites are clearly identified. When you request any of these products or services, you are permitting us to provide your personal information to the partner to fulfill your dynamoRequest. This Web site may provide links to third-party sites, such as those of our business partners and online advertisers. Because Intuit does not control the information policies or practices of these third parties, you should review their privacy policies to learn more about how they collect and use personal information.

Should we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business, part of the sale may include your personal information. If so, you will have the opportunity to ask not to receive promotional information following any change of control.

We may use sources outside of Intuit to supplement the information you give us. For example, we may validate your address using other sources. We use this data to help us maintain accuracy and provide you with better service.

Intuit and its subsidiaries may exchange information about your transactions to fulfill your requests. We may also provide you information about products or services we believe you may be interested in unless you have asked us not to contact you. We offer you the opportunity to review privacy practices at our subsidiaries' Web sites.

Online Payroll Services. Intuit provides several options to perform payroll services for your company. To sign up for these services, we may require you to provide your company Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) to pre-populate Federal Payroll Tax forms for your printing and submission to Tax Agencies. If you use Direct Deposit, we may use this information to authenticate that you are a business with a tax ID number on file with the IRS. With Assisted Payroll, we also use your EIN and state identification numbers to enroll your company with the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and state-specific systems so that we can make payroll tax payments on your behalf.

To assist you during the sign up process, we will pre-populate some of the requested information, such as the name of your bank. You will have the option of changing any pre-populated information. You will also be asked for certain employee information, such as name, address, and social security number. This information will be used to process your payroll and may help you provide year end wage and withholding statements to your employees (W-2's). The section of this privacy statement titled "We Protect Your Information" details the security safeguards we use to protect your and your employee's information. If you sign up for Direct Deposit or Assisted Payroll, we require you to provide certain information. You will be asked to provide information about your employees, including the employee's name, and bank account information. In addition, we require you to provide your bank account and signatory information for the account from which you want to fund payrolls. This information will be used to process your Direct Deposit and, for Assisted Payroll, pay your company's federal and state payroll taxes. We also use bank account information to collect processing fees from you, including normal fees for services and special processing fees outlined in our Terms of Service.

Whether you use an online or desktop payroll solution, we may offer you the ability to view your payroll tax forms online.
