1. Introduction

The protection of your personal and travel data is of the highest priority for FreeTaxPeak. This Privacy Policy comprehensively informs you about what data we collect when providing our tax-free return and refund processing services, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your personal information. We strictly adhere to applicable data protection regulations in Canada and the EU, particularly in connection with our tax recovery services, refund processing guidance, and comprehensive travel solutions.

2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

We only collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us, for example when engaging our tax-free return services, submitting travel information, using our contact form, or communicating via email. The collected data may include:

  • First and Last Name
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Residential Address
  • Travel Information (for tax recovery purposes)
  • Refund Assessment Data (for creating tax recovery systems and refund planning)

This data is used exclusively for providing our tax-free return and refund processing services, processing your inquiries, and creating tax recovery materials and travel planning documents.

3. Use of Personal Data

4. Data Storage and Security

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes or as required by legal retention obligations. Tax recovery data is typically retained for the duration of legal retention periods for refund documents. To protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, we implement comprehensive technical and organizational security measures, including encrypted data transmission and access restrictions on sensitive travel data.
