Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Sales Tax Calculator (https://www.salestaxcalculator.io) handles information when you use the website.

Your calculations stay in your browser

All tax calculations run entirely on your device, in your browser. The prices, item names, discounts, tips, and totals you enter are never transmitted to our servers. Some of these values may be stored locally in your browser (for example, in session storage) so the calculator can remember them as you move between pages; that data stays on your device and is cleared when you end your session or clear your browser storage. Your light/dark theme preference is similarly stored locally.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly analytics (Umami) to understand aggregate usage, such as which pages are visited and general traffic trends. This analytics service is designed to avoid collecting personally identifiable information and does not use cross-site tracking cookies. We use the resulting aggregate statistics only to improve the website.

Cookies and local storage

The website does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. It uses your browser’s local and session storage for the functional purposes described above (remembering your inputs and theme).

Hosting

The website is hosted on a third-party platform that, like most web hosts, may automatically log standard technical request information (such as IP address and user agent) for security and operational purposes. This is standard server-log activity and is separate from your calculator inputs, which never leave your device.

Third-party links

The website may link to external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.

Children’s privacy

The website is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
