By imposition of the National Commission for Data Protection (NCDP), the Deco Protest suspended the computer application for Free IRS, an online program fill the IRS statement. The consumer protection association was notified in March through a draft resolution by, according to DPA, be performing the data processing without first notifying the Commission.
The Deco disputes the prosecution’s CNDP, ensuring that “no tax collects user data” and that “limited to give a program that was installed on the computer each taxpayer, not having him at any time or access to data entered. “
The suspension of the page has immediate effect, no longer can access it, download the program, or ask the activation code. The association ensures that “those who have taken advantage of this tool to fill the IRS can rest easy, because the suspension of the page does not in any way call into question the statements already submitted.”
Asked if the PUBLIC the program was designed in-house or contracted to a company, Joaquim Rodrigues da Silva, representative of Deco, said that the platform was developed by the company Ginocar Productions, which owns the Tax Informant publication. Rodrigues da Silva ensures that Deco has “absolute confidence in this partner, who, in the exercise of its activity, has to secrecy and confidentiality commitments.” “We are well aware that we are talking about sensitive data,” says the representative of Deco, stressing that the partnership with the Tax Informant began 11 years ago, first with a tool available on CD and later through online platform .
According to a statement from Deco, the association said to have been accused by the CNPD of “access tax data of users of the application” and challenged this charge in the legal period to answer the charge of the CNPD. It was later contacted by letter to proceed to the immediate suspension of the page, for which had been notified when the CNPD sent the draft resolution. An entity that fails to notify the CNPD may incur a fine of between 3000-30 thousand euros. It remains to know the final decision of the DPA.
However, Deco Protest states that “110,000 taxpayers who have already downloaded the application can continue to use it to simulate or fulfill their tax obligations until the end May, time when the legal term delivery ends. “
” We have improved a program that already disponibilizávamos since 2004 to our associates first CD and, later, the Net, and we became -la accessible to all Portuguese. We are aware of the difficulties that taxpayers feel every year when you fill out the IRS. So it is no surprise that we have taken a very positive feedback from those who have used the IRS for Free, “the clarification of Deco.
The consumer protection association ensures although “it will do to reverse the situation and be able to return to provide taxpayers a program that not only helps deliver simple and free of IRS, but also gives advice about the tax terms more advantageous options.” “It is unfortunate that taxpayers remain unable to benefit from an application that simplifies what is a headache and teaches save tax, because of an accusation nonsense.” With Pedro Chrysostom
