Privacy Policy

1. How the Calculator Works

The core GST calculation tool operates entirely within your web browser. When you enter an amount and calculate GST:

• We do not transmit your entered amounts, calculation results, or any financial figures to any external server.
• No personal login or signup is required to use the calculator.
• Your calculation history (if any is saved) is stored locally in your own browser (using LocalStorage) and never leaves your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser data.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site and to improve it. Google Analytics may automatically collect:

• Approximate location (derived from IP address, typically at a city/country level — not your exact address)
• Device, browser, and operating system information
• Pages visited, time spent on the site, and referring website/source
• General engagement patterns (e.g., which pages are most useful)

This data is collected and processed by Google in aggregate/anonymized form and is not linked to your name, email, or any personally identifiable information, since we do not collect those in the first place.

Cookies: Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

For more on how Google handles this data, see Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses data from sites that use Google services.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not require or ask for:

• Your name, email address, or phone number
• Any financial account information
• Any government ID or PAN details

4. Third-Party Links

Our site links to official government resources (such as the GST Portal, CBIC, and GST Council websites) for your convenience. These are external, independently operated websites. This Privacy Policy does not cover how those sites handle your data — please review their respective privacy policies separately.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information to third parties. The only data processing involved is through Google Analytics, which is governed by Google's own privacy policy and data processing terms.

6. Children's Privacy

This Service is intended for general use by individuals filing or calculating GST-related figures and is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Your Rights (India — DPDP Act, 2023)

In accordance with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the right to seek information about how your data (to the limited extent collected via analytics) is processed, and to raise any grievance regarding it. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information directly, our processing is limited to the aggregated analytics described above.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this policy, you may contact us using the details below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal/regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
