Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026

GigTax Toolkit ("we", "us", "our", or "the Site") provides free tax estimation tools for gig workers, freelancers, and independent contractors. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

GigTax Toolkit's calculators run entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter into our tools — such as income, expenses, or mileage — are processed locally on your device and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

We do collect limited technical information automatically when you visit the Site, including:

Pages viewed and time spent on the Site
Browser type, device type, and general location (city/region level, derived from IP address)
Referring website or search engine

If you contact us directly by email, we will retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiry.

2. Cookies and third-party advertising

  Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this Site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Advertising: We display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
Analytics: We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site, which helps us improve our tools and content.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendor use of cookies by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

3. How we use information

We use the technical and usage information described above to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its tools
Understand which tools and content are most useful to visitors
Display relevant advertising through Google AdSense
Detect and prevent technical issues or abuse

4. Information sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited technical data with third-party service providers (such as Google, for advertising and analytics purposes) who process this data on our behalf, subject to their own privacy policies.

5. Data retention

Since our calculators process your inputs locally in your browser, we do not retain the financial figures you enter into our tools. Technical and usage data collected through analytics tools is retained according to the standard retention periods of the relevant analytics provider.

6. Children's privacy

GigTax Toolkit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Your choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
