Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

DutchExpatTax.com ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Dutch Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming (AVG).

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Calculator Usage

Our tax calculators run entirely in your browser. The values you enter (salary, assets, deductions) are never transmitted to our servers. No personal financial data is collected, stored, or processed by us.

2.2 Analytics Data

We may use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Plausible Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This data is:

• Fully anonymized — no personal identifiers are collected
• Cookie-free — no tracking cookies are placed on your device
• Aggregate only — we see page-level trends, not individual behavior

2.3 Server Logs

Our hosting provider may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and access timestamps. These logs are used solely for security and performance monitoring and are automatically deleted after 30 days.

3. Cookies

DutchExpatTax.com uses no cookies for its core calculator functionality. If third-party services (such as advertising or embedded content) require cookies, they will only be loaded after you provide explicit consent. See our Cookie Policy for details.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

• Plausible Analytics — Privacy-friendly website analytics (no cookies, GDPR compliant)
• Google AdSense — Display advertising (if enabled, requires cookie consent)
• Google Fonts — Typography (loaded locally to avoid external requests where possible)

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

5. Your Rights Under GDPR/AVG

Under the GDPR and Dutch AVG, you have the right to:

• Access — Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure — Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction — Request restriction of processing your data
• Portability — Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection — Object to certain processing activities

Since our calculators do not collect personal data, these rights primarily apply to any contact information you may voluntarily provide (e.g., via email).

6. Data Retention

We do not retain personal data from calculator usage. Contact emails are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, after which they are deleted.

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
