Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information is involved when you use GST Calculator, and how we handle it.

We keep things simple: collect as little personal information as we reasonably can, use standard analytics and advertising tools, and avoid asking for data we do not need.

1. Who We Are

GST Calculator is an independent website that provides tax calculators and educational guides related to GST and similar indirect taxes.

  • This site is not operated by a government or tax authority
  • We do not provide tax filing or representation services
  • We do not deliberately build profiles of individual users

If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at:

  • Email: contact@gstcalculator.app

2. Information You Enter in Our Tools

When you use our calculators, you may enter numbers such as:

  • Prices, tax rates, and quantities
  • Invoice or bill amounts
  • Other financial figures required to run a calculation

These values are used to compute results and display them back to you. Our tools are designed so that:

  • Calculations are performed by our application logic for the purpose of showing you results
  • We do not ask for names, tax IDs, or full billing details simply to use a calculator

You are responsible for ensuring that you do not paste sensitive personal data (for example, full card numbers, passwords, or confidential client details) into free-text fields that are not designed for that purpose.

3. Technical and Usage Data

Like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically collect certain technical data when you visit the site, such as:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring URL (how you arrived at our site)

We use this information to:

  • Keep the service secure and reliable
  • Understand which tools and guides are most useful
  • Improve performance and user experience over time

We do not use this data to make automated decisions about you as an individual.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

Our site may use cookies and similar technologies to support:

  • Basic site functionality (remembering preferences)
  • Anonymous usage statistics (analytics)
  • Display of advertising from third-party networks

Typical tools in this category include services such as:

  • Web analytics platforms
  • Advertising networks (for example, those that place contextual ads)

These third parties may set their own cookies and collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to measure performance or show relevant ads.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Disabling certain cookies may affect how well some features work, but the core calculators should remain usable.

5. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Operate and maintain the website
  • Monitor performance, reliability, and security
  • Understand aggregate usage patterns (which calculators and guides are popular)
  • Plan improvements and new features

We do not:

  • Sell lists of calculator inputs as a separate product
  • Use your data to send bulk marketing emails
  • Deliberately combine technical logs to build detailed personal profiles

6. Data Retention

Technical logs and analytics data are retained for as long as necessary to:

  • Ensure the stability and security of the service
  • Analyze long-term usage trends

The exact retention period may depend on our hosting and analytics providers. We do not maintain separate, long-term archives of raw analytics data beyond what those providers store by default.

Our site may contain links to other websites or embed content and scripts from third parties.

When you interact with these third-party services:

  • Their own privacy policies and practices apply
  • We do not control how they handle your information

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites or services you use, especially if you provide them with personal or financial data.

8. Children’s Privacy

GST Calculator is designed for adults and business users.

We do not knowingly target or collect information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal data through this site, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, remove the information.

9. Your Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the ability to access, correct, or delete data.

Because we intentionally keep data collection limited, most of these rights will relate to:

  • Technical logs and analytics data held by our providers
  • Any direct communication you send to us by email

If you wish to exercise rights under your local laws, you can start by emailing contact@gstcalculator.app with a clear description of your request. We will do our best to respond within a reasonable time.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our services or applicable requirements change.

When we make significant changes, we will:

  • Update the “updated” date at the top of this page
  • Post the revised version on this URL

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how information is handled in connection with GST Calculator.
