Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 14, 2026
FiscalFold ("we", "our", "us") operates the website www.fiscalfold.app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service.
Information We Collect
FiscalFold is designed to minimize data collection. Here is what we collect:
- Tax Calculation Inputs: When you use our calculator, the income amount, country, and filing status you enter are sent to our server to compute your tax breakdown. This data is not stored permanently and is only used for the calculation request.
- Saved Calculations: If you choose to save a calculation, we store the results with a unique ID so you can retrieve them later. No personal identifying information is attached.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymized usage data such as page views, browser type, and device information to improve our service.
- IP Addresses: We temporarily process IP addresses for rate limiting purposes to prevent abuse. IP addresses are not stored permanently.
What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not require account creation or login
- We do not collect names, email addresses, or personal identifiers
- We do not sell or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes
- We do not track individual users across sessions
Cookies
FiscalFold uses minimal cookies. We may use essential cookies required for the website to function properly. If we display advertisements through third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense), those services may place their own cookies to serve relevant ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Cloudflare: Content delivery, DDoS protection, and DNS services. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- Heroku (Salesforce): Backend API hosting. Heroku Privacy Policy
- Google Cloud Platform: AI-powered tax explanations via Vertex AI. Google Cloud Privacy Notice
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- API key authentication to prevent unauthorized access
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
- CORS restrictions limiting API access to authorized origins
Data Retention
Tax calculations are cached temporarily (up to 24 hours) to improve performance. Saved calculations are retained until manually deleted or for a maximum of 90 days. Rate limiting data is automatically purged after the rate limit window expires (60 seconds).
Your Rights
Since we collect minimal data and do not create user accounts, most data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) have limited applicability. However, if you have saved a calculation and wish to have it deleted, you may contact us.
Children's Privacy
FiscalFold is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
