Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Information We Collect
TaxCalc does not require user accounts, logins, or personal information. All tax calculations are performed in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your income data, tax filing status, Social Security numbers, or any personally identifiable financial information.
We may collect anonymized usage data through Google Analytics including: pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and general geographic region (country/city level). This data cannot identify you personally.
2. Cookies
TaxCalc and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Advertising: Google AdSense uses cookies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your browsing history and interests.
- Analytics: Google Analytics uses cookies to help us understand how visitors use our site.
- Functionality: We store your cookie consent preference in your browser for future visits.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings or opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings. For EU/EEA visitors, personalized ads are disabled by default and only enabled with explicit consent.
3. Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites.
The following Google services may be used:
- Google AdSense (advertising)

4. Third-Party Services
We may upgrade to premium ad networks (Mediavine, Raptive) as traffic grows. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie usage. We do not sell, trade, or rent personal data to third parties.
5. Data Security
All pages are served over HTTPS with TLS encryption. We implement Content Security Policy headers and other security best practices. Since we don't collect personal data, there is no user database to breach.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR in EU/EEA, CCPA in California), you may have rights to: access, correct, or delete your personal data; object to or restrict processing; data portability; and withdraw consent. Since we don't collect personal data directly, these rights primarily apply to data held by Google and other third parties.
