This provision establishes the operational scope of Intuit's cross-product data use framework, which aggregates user data from distinct product lines with different regulatory profiles under a single account structure. The TurboTax tax preparation data carve-out may reflect IRS safeguard rule compliance requirements, though the precise boundary of what constitutes 'tax preparation data' is not defined in this document text.
Interpretive note: The document does not define the scope of 'TurboTax tax preparation data' excluded from aggregation, leaving ambiguity regarding what TurboTax-related data may remain subject to cross-product use.
The updated privacy statement no longer describes a specific opt-out procedure for advertising cookies that was previously available. The prior version stated users could 'opt out of having your personal information used or disclosed for these purposes by sliding the toggle to No and clicking Save My Choices', but this mechanism and accompanying language are no longer present in the updated disclosure. The updated terms also no longer explicitly state that IP addresses and device identifiers may be shared with advertising partners, removing prior transparency about what data types are disclosed. You should review TurboTax's main Privacy Policy to determine if opt-out mechanisms exist elsewhere or what the current data-sharing practices are.

You can decline third-party advertising cookies by going to 'Customize Settings,' though essential website cookies required for site functionality cannot be refused.
