Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Tax Calculator page (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not collect personal data or any information that can identify you as an individual.

By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or process any personal or personally identifiable information (PII), including:

  • Names
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Tax file numbers / Social Security numbers / TFNs
  • Income details
  • Addresses
  • Financial account information
  • Any other data that could reasonably identify you

The tax calculator operates entirely in your browser/session. No tax-related inputs you enter are saved, transmitted to us, or logged in a way that links them to you.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only limited, non-personal information for the purposes of improving the Service, understanding usage, and basic site operation:

  • Anonymised conversation logs — We record interactions with the calculator (e.g. sequence of steps, buttons clicked, calculation types attempted) strictly for performance analysis, bug fixing, and feature improvements. These logs contain no personal details, no IP addresses in identifiable form, and no link to any individual user.
  • Usage and interaction data — Aggregated statistics such as which features are used most often, error rates, session duration, and general navigation patterns.
  • Traffic source information — Basic referral data (e.g. which website or campaign referred you) to understand how users find the Service.

This data is collected in aggregated and/or anonymised form only and does not include personal identifiers.

3. How We Collect Information

We use standard web technologies including:

  • Server logs
  • Analytics tools (which may include Google Analytics or similar services configured for privacy)
  • Cookies or similar technologies (only for essential functionality and anonymised analytics — not for tracking across sites or building user profiles)

We do not use cookies or trackers for advertising, marketing, or cross-site behavioural advertising.

4. How We Use Information

We use the limited, non-personal data we collect only to:

  • Improve the accuracy, speed, and usability of the tax calculator
  • Identify and fix bugs or calculation errors
  • Understand overall usage patterns
  • Analyse traffic sources to optimise how we reach users

We do not sell, rent, share, or disclose any data to third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Sharing of Information

We may share aggregated, anonymised statistics with:

  • Service providers who help us operate and improve the site (e.g. hosting providers, analytics processors) under strict confidentiality obligations
  • In extremely rare cases: if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of others

No data that could identify you is ever shared.

6. Opting Out of Tracking

You can opt out of non-essential tracking and analytics at any time:

  • Use the "Opt out of tracking" link/button on the tax calculator page (if implemented), or
  • Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser (we honour this signal where technically feasible), or
  • Install browser extensions/privacy tools that block analytics scripts (e.g. uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or the official Google Analytics opt-out add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout)

After opting out, we will no longer collect anonymised usage data from your sessions for analytics purposes.

7. Data Security

Although we collect only minimal, non-personal data, we still use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect that data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a revised "Effective Date". We encourage you to review this page periodically.
