1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how WonkTax ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our tax calculation service (the "Service"). This Policy applies to all users of the Service and to all information collected through the Service.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of information in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Service.

We may change this Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy. Your continued use of the Service after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

2. Current Client-Side Only Operation

WonkTax currently operates as a client-side application that runs entirely within your web browser. This means:

• All calculations are performed locally on your device.
• Your income information, filing status, and other tax data you enter remain on your device only.
• This information is not transmitted to our servers or stored by us.
• Your information is not retained after you close your browser or leave the website.

In its current implementation, the Service does not require you to create an account, log in, or otherwise identify yourself to use the tax calculator. You can use the Service anonymously.

3. Information We Currently Collect

Even though the tax calculator operates client-side, we may still collect certain information through standard web hosting and analytics tools:

3.1 Automatically Collected Information

When you access the Service, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device Information: Information about your device, including IP address, device type, operating system, and browser type.
• Usage Information: Information about how you use the Service, including pages visited, time spent on pages, and other interaction data.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: Our Service may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities.

3.2 Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers to host the Service, analyze usage patterns, and perform other services. These providers may collect standard web traffic information as described above. These providers include:

• Web hosting providers
• Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics)
• Content delivery networks

These third-party providers have their own privacy policies addressing how they use such information.

4. Potential Future Features and Data Collection

In the future, we may expand the Service to include additional features that may require collecting, processing, and storing user data. These potential features include:

4.1 Geolocation Services

We may implement geolocation features to automatically detect your state and local tax jurisdiction to provide more accurate tax estimates. If implemented, we will:

• Request your permission before accessing your location data
• Only use location data for the purpose of estimating applicable tax rates
• Process location data in accordance with this Privacy Policy

4.2 User Accounts and Saved Data

We may implement user accounts to allow you to save tax scenarios, track changes year-over-year, and provide other personalized features. If implemented, we will:

• Collect registration information such as email address and password
• Store your saved tax data securely on our servers
• Implement appropriate security measures to protect your data
• Allow you to delete your account and associated data

4.3 Email Communications

We may offer email notifications for tax law updates, calculator improvements, or other service-related announcements. If implemented, we will:

• Only send emails with your explicit consent
• Include unsubscribe options in all communications
• Never sell or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes

5. How We Use Information

Currently, with our client-side only approach, we use automatically collected information primarily for Service improvement and analytics. If we implement additional features in the future, we may use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Personalize your experience with the Service
• Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages
• Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with the Service
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues
• Comply with applicable laws, legal processes, or governmental requests

6. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except as described in this Policy. We may share information as follows:

6.1 Service Providers

We may share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf.

6.2 Compliance with Laws

We may disclose information in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

6.3 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or uses of your information.

6.4 With Your Consent

We may share information with third parties when you have given us your consent to do so.

6.5 Aggregated or De-identified Information

We may share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you, with third parties for research, marketing, analytics, and other purposes.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free.

If we implement user accounts or begin storing personal information on our servers in the future, we will:

• Implement industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest
• Regularly review and update our security practices
• Provide secure methods for users to access and manage their information
• Implement data minimization practices to collect only necessary information

8. Your Rights and Choices

Given our current client-side approach, you have significant control over your information as it remains on your device. If we implement additional features in the future that involve storing your data, you will have various rights and choices, including:

8.1 Account Information

If we implement user accounts, you will be able to update, correct, or delete your account information at any time by logging into your account or contacting us directly.

8.2 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Service.

8.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal. There is currently no standard interpretation of DNT signals. We strive to adhere to the standards set out in this Policy regardless of whether a DNT signal is received.

8.4 Communications Preferences

If we implement email communications, you may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by following the instructions in those communications or by contacting us directly.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected personal information of a child under 13, we will delete such information.

10. International Data Transfers

The Service is hosted in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers maintain facilities. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than your country.

11. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These may include:

• The right to know what personal information we collect about you
• The right to request deletion of personal information we collect from you
• The right to opt out of the sale of your personal information
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Currently, as our Service operates client-side, we do not sell personal information of California residents as defined under the CCPA/CPRA.
