Privacy Policy

1. Overview

DriverTaxGuard is committed to protecting user privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use our website, how that information is used, what third parties may process data, and what rights users may exercise under applicable law.

2. Calculator Inputs

Core calculator inputs such as mileage, gross earnings, fuel assumptions, and scenario values are processed locally in the browser interface. We do not request users to create an account for basic calculator usage, and we do not intentionally build user-level tax profiles from calculator fields.

3. Data We May Collect Automatically

When you browse the site, technical metadata may be collected to operate and secure the service:

• IP address and coarse location signals such as country or region
• Browser and device characteristics needed for compatibility and fraud control
• Referrer, page path, session timing, and interaction analytics
• Diagnostic events used to identify outages, abuse, or broken features

4. Purposes of Processing

We process technical and analytics data for legitimate operational purposes, including:

• Serving pages, maintaining uptime, and preventing abuse
• Improving calculator clarity, performance, and user experience
• Understanding aggregate demand for features and educational content
• Supporting ad delivery for free-access site operation where enabled

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies may be used for core functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can usually control cookies through browser settings. If cookies are blocked, parts of the site may not work as expected, including preference persistence and certain measurement events.

6. Advertising and Third Parties

DriverTaxGuard may use third-party advertising providers such as Google AdSense. These providers may use cookies or device identifiers to serve relevant advertisements based on prior browsing behavior. Third-party data handling is governed by each provider's own policies.

7. Data Retention

Operational logs and analytics data are retained only as long as needed for service quality, legal compliance, and security review. Retention windows vary by system and can be shortened when no longer necessary for those purposes.

8. Security

We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect systems and reduce unauthorized access risk. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we apply practical controls proportional to the nature of this product and the data involved.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or processing limitations for personal information. You may also have the right to opt out of certain data uses, including some ad-related processing.

To submit a rights request, email contact@drivertaxguard.com with enough detail to identify the request and the pages or interactions involved.

10. Children's Privacy

DriverTaxGuard is intended for adults. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from children under the age threshold applicable in the relevant jurisdiction.

11. External Links

Our pages may link to third-party sites such as IRS resources and service providers. Those websites have independent privacy practices, and this policy does not govern their data handling.

12. Policy Changes

We may update this policy when product features, legal obligations, or third-party integrations change. Material revisions are posted on this page with an updated effective date.
