Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how VATCalc Pro handles personal data and website usage information when you visit our pages, use our calculators, or contact us through the website. We are committed to clear, GDPR-style transparency and to collecting only the information that is reasonably necessary for site operation, communication, security, and improvement.

When you use the calculators, the numerical values you enter are processed in your browser to generate results. In a basic static implementation, those values are not required to be stored on our servers in order for the calculator to function. If the site later introduces analytics, server logging, or form processing, those features should be configured to minimize data collection and align with applicable privacy rules.

If you contact us through a form or by email, we may process the personal data you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and message content. We use that information to respond to your enquiry, provide support, improve the website, detect abuse, and maintain communication records where reasonably necessary. The lawful basis for this processing may include consent, legitimate interests, or steps taken at your request before entering a contract, depending on the context.

We may also process certain technical data automatically when you visit the website. This can include IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, referral source, and timestamps. Such information is commonly used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, performance diagnostics, capacity planning, and understanding how visitors use the website. Where analytics or cookies are used, we recommend implementing a compliant consent mechanism for regions where consent is required.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for core site functionality, remembering preferences, measuring performance, or supporting advertising services. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where permitted by law, while non-essential cookies such as analytics or personalized advertising cookies should be activated only after valid consent has been obtained where required. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.

We may work with service providers that help us host the website, manage infrastructure, provide analytics, process messages, prevent abuse, or deliver advertising. These providers may process personal data on our behalf under contractual safeguards. Where data is transferred internationally, we aim to use appropriate protections, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including meeting legal, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution requirements. Contact form messages may be retained for a reasonable period to handle follow-up questions and maintain support records. Technical logs may be retained for shorter operational or security periods.

Under applicable data protection laws, you may have rights that include access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, objection, data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending sensitive financial, tax, or confidential personal information through the contact form.

This website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. You should review their privacy notices separately before sharing personal data.

Children should not use the site to submit personal information without parental or guardian supervision where required by law. The website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, services, or operational practices. When we do, the updated version will be posted on this page with the revised effective date where appropriate. Continued use of the website after changes may indicate acceptance of the updated notice, subject to any legal requirements around consent.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or about how your personal data is handled, please use the contact page to get in touch.
