Privacy Policy
This policy explains what [ENTITY LEGAL NAME, e.g. EvenlyTaxed LLC] (“EvenlyTaxed,” “we,” “us”) collects when you use evenlytaxed.com and our homestead exemption services, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are a private company. We are not affiliated with the Travis Central Appraisal District, the Texas Comptroller, or any government office.
1. What we collect
Public appraisal records. Before you contact us, we already hold public information about Travis County properties published by the appraisal district: property ID, situs address, owner name of record, appraised and assessed values, exemption status, and school district. We use it to show whether an exemption appears on file for an address.
Information you give us. When you check an address, request your exact estimate, or start a filing, you may provide your email address, mobile number, full name, the month you moved into the home, whether your Texas ID shows the property address, and — only for a filing — the driver’s license or state ID number the appraisal district requires on Form 50-114.
Payment information. Card details are collected and stored by Stripe, our payment processor. We never see or store full card numbers; we hold a Stripe customer reference and, for done-for-you service, a saved payment method token.
Technical information. IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, used for security, rate limiting, and bot prevention (Cloudflare Turnstile). We do not use advertising cookies or sell browsing data.
2. How we use it
- To check the appraisal roll for your address and estimate your savings.
- To prepare your Form 50-114 (Residence Homestead Exemption Application) and, for done-for-you service, Form 50-162 (Appointment of Agent) and our service agreement.
- To email your documents, send filing updates, and — if you opt in — text you about your filing.
- To monitor the appraisal roll for approval of your exemption and, for done-for-you service, to charge the agreed fee after approval.
- To prevent abuse of the lookup tool and comply with law.
3. Who we share it with
We share information only as needed to deliver the service: licensed Texas property tax consultants who file done-for-you applications as your designated agent; Stripe (payments); Resend (email delivery); Anvil (electronic signature); Airtable and Vercel (hosting and records); and the appraisal district, which receives your application. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with data brokers or marketers.
4. Text messages
If you check the box to receive texts, we will send updates about your filing only. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
5. Retention
We keep your driver’s license or ID number only until your application is filed with the appraisal district, then delete it from our systems. We keep filing records, correspondence, and payment records for [RETENTION PERIOD, e.g. 4 years] after your last filing, as needed for tax-year deadlines, refunds, and our legal obligations. You can ask us to delete your account information sooner (see Section 7); we may retain what the law requires.
6. Security
Data is encrypted in transit, stored with access-controlled providers, and reachable only by staff and consultants who need it to handle your filing. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your choices
- Access, correction, deletion: email [CONTACT EMAIL, e.g. privacy@evenlytaxed.com] and we will respond within 30 days.
- Email: every marketing email has an unsubscribe link; transactional emails about an active filing continue until it is complete.
- Texts: reply STOP.
- Public records: the appraisal data we display is published by the appraisal district; to change it, contact the district directly.
Texas residents may have additional rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. We honor verified requests to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal data, and to opt out of targeted advertising or sale (we do neither).
8. Children
Our services are for property owners and are not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
9. Changes
We will post any changes here and update the date above. Material changes affecting an active filing will be emailed to you.
