Privacy Policy

🔒 100% Local — Your Calculation Data Never Leaves Your Device

All calculation data, income figures, mileage logs, and saved scenarios are processed and stored locally in your browser via localStorage.

Nothing you type into our calculators is transmitted to a server, because we do not operate a backend that receives it. There is no account, no login, and no database of your financials. You can disconnect from the internet after a page loads and every calculator keeps working — the practical proof of local-only computation.

What We Store, and What We Never See

Advertising and Third-Party Cookies

This site is funded by advertising and loads Google AdSense. Third-party ad networks, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, and device identifiers to serve and measure ads, and Google may use a cookie for advertising personalization. You can manage personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings and read how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. These advertising cookies are set by the ad network — never by our calculators — and they never receive the income or expense figures you enter.

Analytics

We do not run first-party analytics that collect personally identifiable information, and we do not build profiles of individual users from calculator inputs, because those inputs never leave your device.

Your Control

You can clear all saved data at any time by clicking "Clear All Data" in the Saved Scenarios tab, or by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site. You can also block third-party cookies in your browser settings to limit advertising tracking.

Local-First by Design

Our calculators perform all arithmetic in your browser using JavaScript; there is no server round-trip and no database of your inputs. Refreshing the page or closing the tab clears the working numbers. This "local-first" model is the strongest privacy guarantee we can make: the data never existed on our systems to begin with.

Analytics & Ads

If we use privacy-respecting analytics, it is aggregated and cannot be tied back to your tax figures (which we never receive). Ad partners may use cookies to tailor ads; you can opt out through your browser or Google's Ad Settings. Disabling cookies does not affect calculator function.

Contact & deletions

Any personal information you voluntarily send by email is used only to reply and is deleted on request. Because we store no calculator data, there is nothing for us to export on your behalf.

What We Collect

Nothing from your calculations. Every number you type stays in your browser's local memory and is never uploaded, stored on a server, or shared. We have no account system and no user database.

Cookies & Third-Party Services

We use privacy-respecting analytics and, where present, Google AdSense to support the site. These may set cookies for ad personalization and measurement. You can control ad personalization through Google's Ad Settings and clear cookies in your browser at any time.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Your Rights

Because we do not store your calculator inputs, there is nothing for us to export or delete on your behalf — your data never left your device. For any personal information you voluntarily email us, you may request deletion at any time.
