1. Introduction

FreelanceTaxCalc ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at freelancetaxcalc.online (the "Site"). Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal information from our calculators. All tax calculations run entirely in your web browser. We never see, store, or transmit the numbers you enter into any calculator tool. No account registration is required to use any tool on this site.

We may automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site, including:

Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring website, and interactions with tools.
Device Data: Browser type, operating system, device type, and screen resolution.
Location Data: Approximate geographic location derived from your IP address (city/country level only).

This information is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies as described below.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet. This enables Google and its partners to serve personalized ads to you.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites. Users may opt out of personalized advertising at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or https://www.aboutads.info.

For EEA/UK visitors: We use a consent management platform (CMP) for personalized ads. You can change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer. We only serve non-personalized ads to users who have not consented to personalized advertising.

You can learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites or apps at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Site. We use the information to improve our Site and user experience.

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, remember preferences, and provide analytics and advertising. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (including web beacons and pixels) for the purposes described below.

You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For more information about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

We use the following categories of cookies on our Site:

Essential Cookies: Required for the Site to function properly. These include cookies that enable basic navigation and access to secure areas. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies.
Analytics Cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with the Site. These cookies help us measure and improve performance by collecting information about which pages are visited most, how users navigate the Site, and what errors occur.
Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver relevant ads to you and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you targeted ads. These are set by Google AdSense and other advertising partners.
Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits, enhancing your experience on the Site.

7. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. When you leave our Site, we encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by FreelanceTaxCalc.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete that information. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your information. However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Since our calculators process all data locally in your browser and do not transmit any financial information to our servers, the risk of data breach related to your calculator inputs is minimal. We use HTTPS encryption for all communications with our Site.
