Your Privacy Is Our Priority
At PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph, your privacy is our top priority. We've designed this tool to be completely transparent and secure regarding your personal and financial information.
Data Handling & Privacy
Does this website use cookies or store any user data? No, absolutely not — except for third-party services as noted below.
PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph itself does not use, handle, or store any cookies or personal information. We also do not use localStorage or sessionStorage for data storage.
What kind of user information is kept? None at all.
The website does not store, save, or transmit any user data from your interactions. Your inputs exist only temporarily during your current browser session and are lost when you close or refresh the page.
How Your Information Is Handled:
- Data Input: You enter salary, allowances, and financial details into form fields.
- Data Processing: Calculations happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
- Data Storage: No data is saved — no cookies, local storage, server logs, or database.
- Data Transmission: No data is sent to any server by our application. No tracking or analytics are conducted by PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph itself.
- Privacy: Your financial details remain 100% private and never exposed.
How the App Works Without Storing Data
Our application functions like a digital spreadsheet in your browser — a static, client-side calculator:
- You input numbers (e.g., salary).
- JavaScript instantly reads those values and performs calculations locally.
- Results display immediately on your screen.
- Refreshing the page resets all inputs and clears data.
All features run locally: PDF export, chart display, and frequency toggles require no data persistence.

Use of Google Analytics
Tracking Visitor Behavior with Google Analytics

- Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and interactions on the site through cookies and similar technologies.
- This information helps analyze traffic patterns and improve website performance.
Cookies and Data Storage:
- Google Analytics sets cookies on your browser for tracking purposes.
- The data collected does not personally identify you but is considered personal data under many privacy laws.
Your Choices and Controls:
- You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Alternatively, you can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.
- If required by law (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), you will be asked to consent to cookie use for analytics when you first visit the site.

User Consent and Data Subject Rights (GDPR/CCPA)
Cookie Consent
Where legally required (such as under GDPR and CCPA), PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph displays a cookie consent banner to inform you about the use of cookies by Google Analytics. This banner requests your permission before using cookies related to analytics.
Your Data Rights
If you are located in jurisdictions with data protection laws like GDPR or CCPA, you have certain rights regarding your personal data, including but not limited to:
- The right to access your data.

Data Security and Retention
PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph does not retain any personal data directly and stores no user data. Third-party providers have their own data retention and security policies that you can review through their privacy statements.
Clarification on Cookies and Data Storage
Our calculator tool itself does not use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or any form of data storage or tracking. All calculations happen locally in your browser with no data sent to our servers.
However, the use of Google Analytics means cookies may be set and data about your interactions with the site collected independently of our application.
Privacy & Security Implications
PhilippineTaxCalculator.ph is 100% private and secure by design.
- No Risk of Data Breach: No personal user data stored by our application = nothing to steal.
- No Tracking by Our App: We do not track or log user interactions.
- GDPR/CCPA Compliant by Design: We do not collect personal data directly.
However, third-party services like Google Analytics operate under their own privacy policies and practices as described above.
