At VATCalc.dev, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. We are committed to being transparent and responsible with your data.
1. 📋 Information We Do Not Collect
Vatcalc.dev is a privacy-first tool. We do not:
- Collect personal data like your name, email, or location.
- Use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.
- Store any VAT calculation inputs or history.
All VAT calculations happen locally in your browser, and no data is sent to our servers.
2. 🧩 Anonymous Usage Data
We may collect limited anonymous usage data to improve performance and understand how users interact with our tool. This data may include:
- Device type (mobile, desktop)
- Browser version
- Time spent on the site
- Pages visited
This data is collected via privacy-respecting tools (such as Plausible or similar) and does not include IP addresses or user-identifiable information.
3. 📧 Contact Forms & Feedback
If you voluntarily submit information via our contact or feedback form (e.g., your name or email), that data will:
- Only be used to respond to your query.
- Not be shared, sold, or reused.
- Be deleted after the issue or feedback thread is resolved.
We use secure form processors (like Formspree or EmailJS) that are GDPR-compliant.
4. 🍪 Cookies Policy
Our Website does not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or analytics that track you across the web.
If in the future we implement cookies for essential services (e.g., remembering theme or VAT rate preferences), we will:
- Display a clear cookie banner
- Offer opt-in choices
- Update this policy accordingly
5. 📜 Third-Party Services
We may link to third-party websites or calculators. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies before using those sites.
Examples may include:
- External tax authority links (e.g., GOV.UK, HMRC)
- Affiliate tools for small businesses (clearly labeled)
6. 🧑⚖️ Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)
If you’re a resident of the EU/UK or California, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to processing or request data portability
Since we generally don’t store any personal data, most of these rights are not applicable — but you’re always welcome to contact us if you have questions.
7. 🔐 Security
We implement best practices to keep your browsing secure:
- HTTPS encryption
- No third-party trackers
- Browser-side computation for privacy
8. 🚨 Changes to This Policy
