Ramsey Solutions told Fox News Digital that the company had “implemented the Meta Pixel to deliver a more personalized customer experience.”
“We did NOT know and were never notified that personal tax information was being collected by Facebook from the Pixel,” they said. “As soon as we found out, we immediately informed TaxSlayer to deactivate the Pixel from Ramsey SmartTax.”
Intuit’s TurboTax also stopped sending usernames through the pixel at sign-in, according to the Markup.
“Intuit does not share tax return information with social media platforms, including Meta (Facebook), for marketing or any other purpose. The Meta Pixel does not track, gather, or share information that users enter in TurboTax while filing their taxes. Intuit’s use of Meta Pixel is compliant with Section 7216,” a spokesperson for Intuit told Fox News in an email.
Intuit said it is committed with being a responsible steward buy phone number list of customers’ data and is clear about usage in a Global Privacy Statment.
“Consistent with our privacy policy we may share some non-tax return information, such as usernames, with marketing partners to deliver a better customer experience. For example, if an individual clicks on a TurboTax ad on Facebook and creates an Intuit account or signs into their account, Meta Pixel allows us to no longer show advertisements to the individual,” the spokesperson added. “While we have been consistent with our privacy policy, we have modified the implementation of Meta Pixel to ensure that moving forward username is not transmitted.”
Fox News Digital’s request for comment from Meta was not immediately returned.
