On this device, without an account

The assessment form, the regime comparison, and the ITR suggestion are calculated in your browser. A copy of that assessment is kept in this browser so you can pause and return. It is not sent to EaseITR until you sign in. Clearing the assessment in Settings removes that browser copy.

After you sign in with Google

Sign-in uses your Google account to confirm who you are. EaseITR receives the account id and email address needed to keep your session. The same assessment can then be saved through the EaseITR service into Cloud Firestore in Mumbai (asia-south1), under your account. The browser copy remains as well. Signing out ends the session in this browser. Clearing data in Settings deletes the saved assessment from the service when you are signed in.

Documents

Document reading works only after you log in. The file is uploaded to a private bucket in Mumbai over a short-lived link, read by Google Document AI, and deleted when the read finishes. If that read finds no fields, the same file is sent once to Gemini in Mumbai so it can copy the known fields. A leftover object is removed by a one-day lifecycle rule. EaseITR does not keep the file, and it does not keep the full recognised text. A PAN is masked before the result is shown and before an accepted field is saved. Nothing from the document is written into the assessment until you accept a field.

If you choose “Choose for me”, the form reader decides whether the file looks like a Form 16, Form 26AS, an Annual Information Statement, a broker capital-gains statement, a home-loan interest certificate, or a bill. A bill that the first read cannot fill in may be read a second time by the invoice reader. Google sees the file for the duration of that processing.

“What this means”

That button is available only while you are signed in, and it is skipped for a PAN or another sensitive value. It sends the field label and the value you are looking at to Gemini, in Mumbai, and asks for a short explanation. Gemini is instructed not to calculate tax and not to choose an ITR form. The explanation is not stored as part of the assessment.

What this is not

EaseITR does not file on the Income Tax portal, does not log into the Income Tax Department, and does not train a model on your documents. It is not affiliated with the Government of India. The sample Form 16 in the document centre is fictional.
