This Privacy Policy describes how SCorp Tax Calculator ("we," "us," or "our"), operated at scorptaxcalculator.com, collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website and free tax estimation tool. By using this site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1a. Information You Provide Directly
The primary feature of this site is a client-side tax calculator. All calculator inputs — including income figures, salary amounts, and filing status — are processed entirely within your web browser and are never transmitted to our servers. We do not store, log, or have access to any financial information you enter into the calculator.
If you use our Contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily submit, which may include your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
1b. Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring website (the site you visited before arriving here)
- Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and date/time of visit
- General geographic location (country/city level, not precise location)
This information is collected through analytics tools (see Section 3) and is used to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. It is not linked to your identity.
