Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what data CryptoTaxBit collects, what we do with it, and what we never do. The short version: your tax numbers never leave your device.
The numbers you enter into the calculator
When you use the crypto tax calculator on this site, your inputs (capital gains, income figures, country, state/province, etc.) are processed entirely inside your browser. They are never sent to our servers, never stored, never logged, and never shared. As soon as you close the tab or refresh the page, they are gone.
We can read them as little as you can read your own thoughts — which is to say, not at all.
What we do collect (and why)
Like nearly every site on the internet, we use a small amount of anonymous data to understand how visitors find and use CryptoTaxBit, so we can improve it. Specifically:
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous, aggregated data: which pages were visited, how long visitors stayed, where in the world they came from (country/region level), what device they used. This data is not linked to your tax inputs and cannot identify you personally.
- Standard server logs. Our hosting provider (Netlify) keeps brief technical logs (IP address, browser type, timestamp) for security and reliability. These are standard for every website on the internet.
- Search console data. Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools show us anonymous aggregated data about how people find the site through search.
What we do not collect
- We do not run third-party trackers beyond the Google Analytics described above.
- We do not sell, rent, or share any data with marketers.
- We do not require accounts, signups, or email addresses to use the calculator.
- We do not use targeted advertising cookies (this may change in the future if we add display ads — we will update this policy clearly if so).
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies set by Google Analytics (which help count unique visitors and measure session length). You can block these in your browser settings or use a privacy extension — the site will still work perfectly.
If you email us
When you contact us at cryptotaxbit@gmail.com, your email address and message are visible only to us. We use them solely to respond to your enquiry. We never share, sell, or publish what you write to us.
External links
Our blog occasionally links to external resources (IRS, CRA, HMRC, news articles, software reviews). Once you click an external link, you are subject to that site's privacy policy — not ours. We have no control over what other sites do with your data.
Children
CryptoTaxBit is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you believe a minor has provided us data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR in the UK/EU, CCPA in California, PIPEDA in Canada, etc.), you may have legal rights regarding personal data. Since we collect almost no personal data, in practice the main right you have is to opt out of analytics by blocking cookies or using a privacy extension. If you ever want to know what (if anything) we hold about you, email us.
Changes to this policy
If we change anything material in how we handle data, we will update this page and the “last updated” date at the top. For significant changes, we will also note them on the home page.
