Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. Overview
My Tax Freedom Day ("we", "our", or "the site") is a free informational calculator that helps individuals estimate their personal Tax Freedom Day based on publicly available tax bracket data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how this site operates.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use this website, how it is used, and your rights in relation to that information.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Enter
The calculator allows you to enter your country and annual income to compute an estimated Tax Freedom Day. This information is processed entirely in your browser (client-side JavaScript) and is never transmitted to our servers. We do not collect, store, or log any income figures you enter.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our hosting provider (Netlify) may automatically collect standard server log data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security, analytics, and operational purposes by Netlify under their own privacy policy.
3. Cookies
This site uses cookies primarily through third-party advertising and analytics services. We do not set any first-party tracking cookies ourselves.
Cookies may be set by:
- Google AdSense — to display relevant advertisements. Google may use cookies to personalise ads based on your prior browsing history across sites that use Google services.
- Google Analytics (if enabled) — to understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
You can also control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect the functionality of some website features.
4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
This website uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve advertisements based on your visits to this and other websites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Ads Settings.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, please visit: How Google uses data from sites that use our services.
We adhere to the Google AdSense programme policies. Advertisements displayed on this site are provided by Google and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
5. How We Use Information
The limited information collected is used solely to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve the site
- Display relevant advertising to support the free operation of this service
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
6. Data Retention
Since we do not collect personal data directly, there is no personal data for us to retain. Server log data retained by Netlify is subject to their own data retention policies.
7. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

- The right to access information we hold about you
- The right to request correction of inaccurate data
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to object to or restrict processing
- The right to data portability (where applicable)
Since we do not collect personal data directly, most of these rights will apply to data held by third-party services such as Google. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for information on how to exercise these rights.
