This page describes what Snapfile collects, what we keep, and what we throw away. It's written to be readable, not to satisfy lawyers — but it's accurate. Email support@snapfile.tax if anything's unclear.

What we collect

To prepare your Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120, we ask for:

  • Your LLC's name, EIN, formation state and date, registered address, business activity
  • Your full name, country of citizenship, country of tax residence, and foreign tax ID (or "AppliedFor")
  • Transactions for each tax year you're filing — capital contributions, distributions, and any other reportable transactions
  • Your email address, for sign links, fax receipts, and reminders

Bank statements

If you upload bank statements so we can extract transaction totals automatically, they are processed in memory and immediately discarded. They are never written to permanent storage and are not retained after the extraction completes. We extract the totals we need, and that's it.

What we retain

  • The IRS fax transmission receipt — your proof of filing.
  • Your entity and owner information needed to produce next year's filing if you come back.
  • Stripe payment metadata for refunds and dispute handling.

The signed PDF you upload is held only long enough to fax it to the IRS and deliver the receipt back to you, then deleted.

Who we share with

  • The IRS — by fax to the Ogden PIN Unit. That's the whole point.
  • Stripe — payment processing.
  • Telnyx — the carrier that routes our outbound fax to the IRS number.
  • Email provider — to deliver sign links, fax receipts, and reminders.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to train AI models.

Analytics and attribution

We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand page usage and site performance. We also record first-touch attribution when a filing workspace is created so we can understand which marketing channel led to a customer filing.

Attribution can include UTM source, medium and campaign values, the first Snapfile landing path, and the referring website's hostname. We do not retain the full referring URL or its query parameters. Google Ads conversion measurement is used for Google advertising, and Meta measurement runs only when marketing consent has been granted in the filing flow.

Your rights

You can ask us to delete your account and the associated filing data at any time by emailing support@snapfile.tax. We may retain payment records and fax receipts where US tax recordkeeping rules require it (typically 3–7 years), but personal data unrelated to those records will be deleted.

Cookies

We use first-party cookies to keep you signed in, remember your draft, and preserve the original acquisition source for up to 90 days. The attribution cookie is httpOnly and cannot be read by browser scripts. We do not sell the data collected through these cookies.
