SelfEmploymentTaxEstimator.com is a free educational site that I built and operate independently. I respect your privacy. This policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and your choices regarding that information.
If you use the contact form on this site, I collect the name, email address, and message content you submit. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing purposes.
The tax calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. The income figures, filing status, and other data you enter into the calculator are never transmitted to any server, stored in any database, or shared with anyone. All calculations happen locally on your device. When you close the page, that data is gone.
When you visit this site, certain information is collected automatically through third-party services described below. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on the site.
This site uses Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-KCCZHXPBZQ) to help me understand how visitors use the site, which pages are visited most often, and how people find the site. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data using cookies. I use this data to improve the site and its educational content. Google's data practices are described in the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies is described in the Google Advertising Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
This site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser connects to Google's servers to retrieve the font files. Google may log this request. Google's privacy practices for this service are described in the Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect certain technical data (IP address, request headers) as part of its content delivery and security services. Cloudflare's privacy practices are described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
This site uses cookies in the following ways:
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain third-party features (such as analytics and advertising) but will not affect the calculator itself.
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. I do not share your data with third parties except as described in this policy (specifically, the automatic data collection by Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Cloudflare as described above).
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the contact form, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information I hold about you. Since the only personal information I collect is through the contact form (and is limited to name, email, and message content), you can exercise these rights by reaching out through the contact page.
I may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, please reach out through the contact page.
