Privacy policy

Tax Explained provides UK tax calculators and educational guides. The site is intended for general information and does not provide personal financial, tax, legal, or accounting advice.

You can use the calculators without creating an account. Values entered into calculator fields are processed in your browser and are not intentionally stored by Tax Explained.

If you contact us, we may receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, message, and any context included in that message. Standard technical information such as IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, and error logs may also be processed by hosting, security, or performance tools. Google Analytics is used only when you choose to allow optional analytics in the site's privacy settings. If you decline, the Google Analytics tag is not loaded.

If advertising is enabled, advertising partners may process information such as device identifiers, cookie identifiers, pages viewed, approximate location, and interactions with ads, subject to the choices available through the consent management platform.

• To run, maintain, protect, and improve the website.
• To respond to contact messages and support requests.
• To understand aggregate site performance and usage trends.
• To display, measure, and fund the site with advertising.
• To diagnose bugs, prevent abuse, and keep the service secure.
• To comply with legal obligations where they apply.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for essential site functionality, security, and performance. Non-essential cookies, such as analytics or advertising cookies, are optional and should only be used with appropriate consent controls. More detail is available in the cookies policy.

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help host, secure, monitor, monetise, or operate the website, and those providers may process data under their own terms and privacy notices. These may include Google Analytics when you allow optional analytics, our consent tools, and advertising partners if ads are enabled.

We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Tax Explained, users, or others.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including responding to enquiries, maintaining records, resolving disputes, improving the website, and meeting legal or security requirements.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of your personal information. To make a privacy request, contact us through the contact page.

We may update this policy as the site changes. The latest version will be posted on this page with the updated date shown above.
