Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Global VAT Calculator (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit globalvatcalculator.com (the “Site”).

1. Information we collect

The Site is a calculator and does not require an account. We do not ask for your name, email or payment details. Calculations you perform (amounts, currencies, history) are stored locally in your browser’s localStorage and never sent to us.

2. Server logs

Our hosting provider automatically processes standard request data (IP address, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) to operate the Site and protect against abuse. These logs are kept for a limited period and are not used to build advertising profiles.

3. Cookies and advertising

The Site may display advertising provided by third parties such as Google AdSense. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

4. Exchange rate data

Currency conversion uses public exchange rate APIs. Requests are made directly from your browser to those providers and are subject to their own privacy policies.

5. Your rights

You can clear locally stored history at any time using the “Clear” button in the calculator, or by clearing your browser’s site data. To exercise rights under GDPR/UK GDPR (access, deletion, objection), contact us using the details below.

6. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

7. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision.
