Global Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 25, 2026

1. Data Collection & Synchronization

US UK Tax Tool utilizes a hybrid data model to balance privacy and convenience. By default, calculations occur client-side. However, when you utilize our Google Sign-In features, we collect and synchronize:

• Identity Metadata: Your email address and Google ID to manage your account.
• Tax Scenarios: Calculation inputs and results that you explicitly choose to "Save" to your Dashboard.
• Subscription Status: Payment references and tier levels to enable Pro/Executive features.

2. Payment Processing (PayHere & Lemon Squeezy)

Payment transactions are handled by our trusted partners, PayHere and Lemon Squeezy. We do not store credit card numbers or sensitive billing credentials on our servers. We receive only transaction IDs and status updates via secure webhooks to activate your subscription tier.

3. AI Processing (Google Gemini)

Our AI Tax Advisor uses the Google Gemini API. When you request an analysis, we transmit sanitized numeric metrics to Gemini. We do not share your name or email with the AI service. We cache these responses in our secure server database using an MD5/SHA256 hash of the input data to improve performance.

4. Browser Storage & State Isolation

Some of our tools support pipeline caching utilizing standard browser localStorage to allow users to save their current active rosters (e.g., project name lists in the Agency Modeler). This data is completely isolated within your specific device browser and is never uploaded, synced, or shared over the internet. You can wipe this local storage anytime by clearing your browser site settings.

6. Secure Tax Filing Portal Data Handling

The US UK Tax Tool Filing Portal utilizes a Stateless Proxy Architecture for transmitting data to HMRC.

• OAuth 2.0: We utilize industry-standard OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Your login credentials are handled directly by HMRC's secure gateway; we never see or store your government passwords. The platform connects directly to official tax authority APIs via this protocol.
• Anti-Fraud Telemetry: To comply with HMRC fraud prevention mandates, our backend automatically logs and transmits required network telemetry headers, including X-Client-IP, X-Client-User-Agent, and X-Client-Device-ID.
• Transmission Data: When you submit a return, your tax data is passed through our secure server to HMRC using AES-256 encryption. This data is held in volatile memory only for the duration of the transmission and is immediately purged upon completion.
• Zero Persistence: We do not maintain a database of your National Insurance Numbers, income figures, or filing history. Your "Submission Receipt" is generated client-side and should be saved by you for your records.

7. Data Sharing & Zero Monetization

We maintain a strict policy of zero third-party monetization. We guarantee that your user financial records and telemetry data are never sold, rented, or shared with third-party advertisers or data brokers.

8. External Links & External Content

Our pages contain links enabling smooth navigation across our multiple calculators. If you visit any external legal resources links, check their individual privacy statements. We assume no responsibility for third party contents.

9. GDPR & CCPA Compliance Statement

Because we do not collect, transmit, structure, or process *any* personally identifiable information (PII) or financial parameters, we hold no personal credentials matching GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) definitions. There is no portal registry to audit, correct, or delete, ensuring your maximum safety by absolute default.

10. Google AdSense and Third-Party Cookies

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

11. Updates & Auditing

We update this statement periodically to correspond to changes in on-device features. Any updates will remain committed to keeping your financial calculations perfectly private.
