Overview
NetPayTools (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at netpaytools.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information when you use our free salary and tax calculators.
Our calculators are designed to run entirely within your web browser. We do not require account registration, and we do not collect or store any salary, income, or personal financial information you enter into our calculators.
Information We Collect
Information You Enter Into Calculators
All calculator inputs — including salary amounts, filing status, state selections, and any optional deduction figures — are processed locally in your browser. This data is never transmitted to our servers, never stored, and never associated with your identity.
Automatically Collected Usage Data
When you visit the Site, our web server and analytics tools may automatically collect non-personal technical information, including:
- Your browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL
- Pages visited and time spent on those pages
- Approximate geographic region (country or state level, derived from IP address)
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site, improve our tools, and fix technical issues. It is not used to identify individual visitors.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site may use cookies or similar browser storage technologies for basic site functionality, such as preserving your preferences within a session (for example, a previously selected state). We do not use cookies to track you across third-party websites or to build advertising profiles.
You may configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some Site features.
How We Use Information
The non-personal technical data we collect is used solely to:
- Monitor and improve Site performance and reliability
- Understand which calculators and pages are most used
- Diagnose and fix technical errors
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations
We do not use any collected information to market products or services to you, to sell or share your data with third-party advertisers, or to build individual user profiles.
Third-Party Services
The Site may use third-party services to assist in operating and improving the Site, such as web analytics providers and content delivery networks. These services may receive the technical usage data described above under their own privacy policies. We do not permit these providers to use your data for their own marketing or advertising purposes.
The Site does not contain third-party advertising. We do not sell your data to advertisers.
Links to Other Websites
The Site may contain links to external websites, such as the IRS website or state revenue department websites. These links are provided for informational convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly remove such information.
Data Security
Because our calculators do not transmit personal financial data to our servers, the risk of unauthorized access to your calculator inputs is minimal. For the limited technical data our servers do receive (such as access logs), we employ reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect it.
No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
