Privacy & Terms
Plain-English Summary: We only collect what's needed to run the service. We never ask for your private keys or seed phrases. Wallet addresses and transaction hashes are processed to classify transactions. We don't store them after your session unless you explicitly save results. Payments go through a secure payment processor; we never see your full card number.
1. Information We Collect
CryptoTaxEdge ("we," "us," or "our") collects the following categories of information when you use our website at cryptotaxedge.com and our web applications at app.cryptotaxedge.com and dashboard.cryptotaxedge.com:
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, a hashed password or OAuth token (if you sign in via a third-party provider), and the date your account was created. We assign an internal user ID that is referenced throughout the service.
Transaction & Wallet Data
To classify transactions, you submit one or more of the following: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, or CSV files containing transaction records. This data is processed in real time to generate tax classifications. See Section 4 for full details on how this data is handled.
Usage & Technical Data
We automatically collect standard server log data when you visit or use the service, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security, abuse prevention, and improving the service.
Communications
If you contact us by email or through a support channel, we retain the content of that communication and your contact details in order to respond and maintain a support history.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the CryptoTaxEdge platform and its classification tools
- Authenticate your account and maintain your session
- Process and fulfill subscription payments through our payment processor
- Send transactional emails such as account confirmation, password reset, and billing receipts
- Monitor for fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
- Respond to support requests and inquiries
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising or share it with data brokers.
3. Third-Party Services & Data Processors
CryptoTaxEdge relies on third-party services to deliver its core functionality. Each service has access only to the data necessary to perform its specific function.
Blockchain Data Providers
We use third-party blockchain data providers to retrieve, parse, and cross-validate on-chain transaction activity. Only public blockchain data, such as transaction hashes and publicly visible on-chain records, is shared with these services. No personal information is transmitted to blockchain data providers.
AI Classification Engine
Transaction context and classification inputs are passed to a third-party AI service to generate tax classifications and reasoning. No personally identifiable account information is included in these requests. Data sent to our AI provider is governed by their respective data use policies.
Payment Processing
All payment processing is handled by a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. We never receive or store your full credit card number or CVV.
Hosting & Authentication
Account data, authentication sessions, and saved user results are stored in a secure, hosted database. Data is processed in accordance with our hosting provider's privacy and security policies.
4. On-Chain & Wallet Data
We never ask for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet signatures. All blockchain data processed by CryptoTaxEdge is read from public sources only.
When you submit a transaction hash or wallet address, we query publicly available blockchain data through our data providers. This data is inherently public. It exists on-chain regardless of our service.
Classification results (the transaction hash, chain, and the resulting classification) are cached on all tiers, including anonymous and free usage. This is how the service stays fast and how re-running the same hash never counts against your quota. Cached results describe public on-chain activity and are keyed to the transaction hash. They are not linked to your account unless you save them. Results you save to your account can be deleted from your dashboard at any time.
We do not link wallet addresses to your personal identity beyond what you choose to associate in your account. We do not cross-reference your wallet data with off-chain identity sources.
5. Payment Processing
Subscription payments are processed entirely by a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. When you enter payment details, that information is transmitted directly to the processor's servers using TLS encryption. CryptoTaxEdge receives only a customer ID, subscription status, and the last four digits of your card for display purposes.
Billing records are retained for accounting and tax compliance purposes for a minimum of seven years, as required by applicable financial regulations.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (such as billing records).
Cached classification results describing public on-chain transactions are retained to serve future lookups; results saved to your account are retained until you delete them or close your account. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes.
7. Cookies & Analytics
We use essential cookies to maintain your authenticated session. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If we deploy analytics tools, they will be configured to avoid collecting personally identifiable information, and this policy will be updated accordingly.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@cryptotaxedge.com. We will respond within 30 days.
You may also delete your account at any time from your account settings, which will trigger deletion of your personal data as described in Section 6.
9. Children's Privacy
CryptoTaxEdge is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify you by email or via an in-app notice. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

These Terms are an agreement between you and Stursberg LLC, doing business as CryptoTaxEdge ("CryptoTaxEdge", "we", "us", or "our"), which operates the Service.
These Terms apply to all users, including free-tier users, paid subscribers, and visitors to the marketing site.
2. Description of Service
CryptoTaxEdge provides AI-assisted classification of cryptocurrency transactions for informational and tax preparation purposes. The Service uses a multi-source analysis engine combining blockchain data providers and AI classification to identify transaction types, assign tax-relevant categories, and generate exports compatible with third-party tax software such as Koinly.
The Service is provided on an "as-is" basis and is subject to change. Features may be added, modified, or removed at any time.
3. Not Tax or Legal Advice
Important: CryptoTaxEdge is a software tool, not a licensed tax advisor, CPA, attorney, or financial advisor. Nothing produced by the Service constitutes tax advice, legal advice, or a guarantee of tax compliance.
Transaction classifications, tax category assignments, confidence scores, and any other outputs generated by the Service are provided for informational purposes only. They are based on publicly available blockchain data and AI inference. They may be incomplete, incorrect, or inapplicable to your specific tax situation.
You are solely responsible for:
- Verifying the accuracy of all classifications before use in tax filings
- Consulting a qualified tax professional or CPA regarding your specific obligations
- Ensuring your tax filings comply with applicable law
- Any penalties, interest, or liabilities arising from your tax filings
CryptoTaxEdge makes no representations regarding the tax treatment of any specific transaction under current or future law.

CryptoTaxEdge offers free and paid subscription tiers. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually as selected at checkout. Current plan details and pricing are described at cryptotaxedge.com/#pricing and are subject to change with notice.
Free Trial

Billing & Renewal
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. All payments are processed by a PCI-compliant payment processor. By providing payment information, you authorize CryptoTaxEdge to charge your payment method for the applicable subscription fees.
Cancellation & Refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access through that date. We do not offer prorated refunds for partial billing periods. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact us within 30 days of the charge.
Usage Limits
Plan allowances differ by tier. The Firm plan includes unlimited Classification Explorer use for tax-preparation work, subject to reasonable fair use. The Developer plan includes a set number of classifications per month. The Pro plan includes a set transaction volume; transactions beyond the included volume continue to process and are billed at the published per-transaction rate on the same invoice. Usage-based allowances reset on your billing date and unused volume does not roll over. Current allowances and rates are stated on the pricing page at the time of purchase.

8. Third-Party Services

Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms of these providers where applicable. We are not responsible for the actions, availability, or accuracy of third-party services.
9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that transaction classifications will be accurate or suitable for any specific tax filing, that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that third-party data providers will return accurate results.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CryptoTaxEdge's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $100 USD.

12. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration, not as a class action.
