Information Collected
The Fair Tax Foundation does not collect any personal information from visitors to its website other than information that is knowingly and voluntarily given.

Cookies are used for the benefit of the user experience and the website. Use of the site is considered to be implicit permission to set them.

The Fair Tax Foundation takes appropriate measures to safeguard the information it holds from unauthorised access or improper use.
Any third parties (volunteers) to whom information is transferred are made aware of these security practices and are also required to take reasonable precautions to protect the transferred information. We will not share your data other than with the purpose of supporting Fair Tax Foundation activities.
