Privacy policy

We are not a law firm and this policy is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have specific compliance requirements for your own use of this site, consult a qualified professional.

1. The short version

Every income tax calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. The salary figures, filing status, and other numbers you enter are never sent to our servers, never logged, and never stored anywhere. We do not know what you calculated, and we cannot see it.

That said, like almost every website, we use third-party services (advertising and analytics) that collect some technical and usage data automatically. The rest of this policy explains exactly what that involves.

2. Information you provide directly

Calculator inputs (salary, country, filing status, etc.): Processed entirely client-side in your browser using JavaScript. This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party, is not stored in cookies or local storage tied to your identity, and disappears the moment you close or refresh the page.

Contact form or email: If you email us directly ( contact@globalincometaxcalculator.com) or use a contact form, we receive whatever information you choose to include, typically your email address and message content. We use this only to respond to you and do not add you to any marketing list without your separate, explicit consent.

3. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:

• IP address (used for general location detection, e.g. to suggest a relevant country calculator, and security purposes).
• Browser type and version.
• Device type and operating system.
• Pages visited and time spent on the site.
• Referring website or search engine.
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level, derived from IP address).

This data is collected through standard web server logs and third-party analytics tools (see Section 4) and is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve it. It is not used to identify you personally.

4. Cookies and third-party services

Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites across the internet.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
• You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.

For more detail on how Google uses data when you use partner sites, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Analytics

We may use website analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a similar service) to understand aggregate site traffic and usage patterns. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic region. This data is reported in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Cookie control

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Refusing cookies may affect ad personalization and some site functionality but will not prevent you from using any calculator on this site, since calculators do not depend on cookies to function.

5. Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will address it.

6. Your rights (GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws)

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal data collected about you, which can include:

• Right to access — request a copy of data held about you.
• Right to deletion — request that data be deleted.
• Right to opt out — of the sale or sharing of personal data (California residents, under the CCPA/CPRA).
• Right to object — to processing based on legitimate interest (EU/UK residents, under the GDPR).
• Right to withdraw consent — for cookie-based advertising, at any time.

Because calculator inputs are never transmitted to or stored by us in the first place, there is no personal calculator data to request or delete. Requests relating to data collected via analytics or advertising cookies should be directed to the relevant third-party provider (see Section 4) or to us at the email below, and we will assist where we are able to.

7. Data retention

We do not retain calculator inputs, since they are never transmitted to us. Aggregate analytics data is retained according to the relevant third-party provider's standard retention periods (for example, Google Analytics' default retention settings). Contact form or email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry.

8. Data security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect the site itself (HTTPS encryption, standard web security practices). Because sensitive calculator data never leaves your device, there is no salary or financial data in transit or at rest on our servers to be exposed by a breach.

9. Third-party links

This site may link to external resources (for example, official government tax authority pages, or software mentioned in guides). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect new features, new third-party services, or changes in law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
