How We Protect Your Privacy

Four architectural decisions that make your data truly private

Client-Side Calculations

All tax calculations run in your browser using JavaScript. Your salary, tax code, and personal details never leave your device.

Zero Server Storage

We don't store your tax data on our servers. Calculations happen locally, results display instantly, nothing gets saved remotely.

Optional Analytics

Anonymous usage data (page views, device type) only with your consent. You can decline entirely - the calculator works exactly the same.

Privacy by Design

Not just policy - architectural impossibility to see your data. We built privacy into the foundation, not added it later.

Where Your Tax Data Goes

Spoiler: Nowhere. Here's the technical breakdown.

Your Device

All calculations happen here in your browser. Your salary, tax code, and personal details never leave this device.

Our Servers

Only serve the website code (HTML, CSS, JS). No tax data, no personal information, no calculation results stored.

localStorage

We save your inputs locally for convenience. This data stays on your device and can be cleared anytime.

Technical Explanation

We use client-side JavaScript to perform all tax calculations in your browser. The calculation engine runs entirely on your device - we literally cannot see your tax information even if we wanted to. This is privacy by design, not just policy.

Website Analytics

Anonymous usage data (completely optional)

What We See (If You Consent)

  • ✓ Which pages are most popular
  • ✓ General location (city level, not address)
  • ✓ Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
  • ✓ Time spent on the site
  • ✓ Which features are used most
  • ✓ Basic error reports (no personal data)

What We Never See

  • ✗ Your tax calculations or results
  • ✗ Personal information you enter
  • ✗ Your exact IP address or identity
  • ✗ Your browsing history on other sites
  • ✗ Data that could identify you personally

Cookies We Use

Minimal, transparent, under your control

!

Essential (Required)

Necessary for the website to function. Remember your cookie preferences and keep the site working.

Examples: Cookie consent, theme preference
?

Analytics (Optional)

Google Analytics helps us improve. You can decline these completely - the calculator works the same.

Examples: Page views, session duration, anonymized patterns

External Links

We link to official sources like HMRC for tax information and rates. These external sites have their own privacy policies that we don't control.

Policy Updates

If we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and add a notice on the site. We'll never make changes that compromise your privacy.
