Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2026 • Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Zero-Server Calculation Architecture
At GeoTaxCalc (geotaxcalc.com), our core architectural commitment is privacy by design. Every tax calculation, salary bracket simulation, and currency conversion is executed 100% locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your income numbers, tax residency choices, and financial calculations are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
1. Introduction & Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how GeoTaxCalc ("we," "our," or "the Platform") manages information when you access geotaxcalc.com, our country tax calculators, gross-to-net salary comparisons, and international tax guides. By using the Platform, you acknowledge the privacy practices described herein.
2. Financial Data You Input
When you use our salary, rental, or pension tax calculators:
- No Financial Transmission: Gross salary amounts, deductions, bonus figures, and marital filing statuses stay entirely inside your device's memory (RAM).
- No Accounts Required: You do not need to register an account, sign in, or provide an email address to access any calculator tool.
- No Database Storage: We do not operate a remote database recording individual tax simulations or salary benchmarks.
3. Local Browser Storage (localStorage)
We utilize standard web browser localStorage solely to remember non-sensitive user preferences across browsing sessions, including your preferred display currency (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP), language choice (e.g., English, Spanish, French), and theme mode (Dark or Light). This information is stored strictly on your local device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
4. Web Analytics & Server Logs
Like virtually all internet platforms, our hosting infrastructure and content delivery network (CDN) automatically record standard technical log files to maintain network security, prevent DDoS attacks, and diagnose server health. These logs may include IP addresses, browser user-agent headers, referring URLs, and timestamp requests. Technical logs are anonymized and retained only for temporary diagnostic periods.
5. Cookies & Advertising Disclosure
GeoTaxCalc does not use invasive cross-site tracking cookies or behavioral fingerprinting. If third-party advertising or affiliate partner links are displayed on select editorial tax guides, those third parties may use standard HTTP cookies to track qualifying outbound referrals. Please review respective third-party privacy notices for details on their data policies.
6. GDPR, UK DPA & CCPA Compliance
Under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK Data Protection Act, and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA):
- Right to Know & Access: Because we do not associate your identity with calculation inputs, we possess no personally identifiable financial records to disclose.
- Right to Deletion: You can completely erase any stored client-side preferences by clearing your web browser cookies and site storage for
geotaxcalc.com. - No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade user personal information to data brokers or third parties.
