1. 100% Client-Side Processing
The Freelance Pay & Tax Calculator is built as a serverless utility. All calculations, input parsing, tax estimations, and financial assessments are processed exclusively within your browser. We do not run backend data processors, and your sensitive financial configurations never leave your device.
2. Data We Do Not Collect
Because we operate fully on the client-side:
- We do not collect or store your target income, hourly rate, billing days, or business expenses.
- We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, email addresses (unless you contact us directly), IP addresses, or location data.
- There is no database attached to this application. Your configurations are temporary and private.
3. Local Storage and Preferences
To make your experience seamless, our application utilizes your browser's local storage (localStorage). This allows us to:
- Persist your dark or light theme preference.
- Temporarily save your currency, business expenses, and country settings so they are maintained when you reload or close the tab.
Note: You can erase all saved parameters and preferences at any time by clearing your browser's history, cache, or site data.
4. Web Analytics
We may use minimal, privacy-focused third-party analytics (such as Vercel Analytics) to monitor website performance, uptime, and overall traffic counts. These analytics do not track your financial calculations, do not collect personal information, and are used solely to optimize the technical stability of the website.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect modifications in our features or local regulatory guidelines. Any updates will be immediately active upon posting the revised policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
