PRIVACY POLICY

Your Data Stays With You. Always.

TaxNinja collects no personal information. Every number you enter stays in your browser — we never see it, store it, or share it. Here's our full privacy policy in plain English.

🔒

No Data Collected

TaxNinja never asks for your name, email, or any personal information. No account. No profile. Nothing.

🖥️

Stays in Your Browser

All income figures and deductions you enter are processed locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted to any server.

🍪

Ads Use Cookies

TaxNinja uses Google AdSense to display ads. AdSense may set cookies to show relevant ads. This is the only third-party data activity on this site.

TaxNinja is a free, client-side tax estimation tool built for US freelancers, 1099 contractors, and self-employed individuals. It runs entirely in your web browser — nothing you type is ever sent to a server. There are no user accounts, no sign-ups, and no data collection of any kind. This privacy policy explains our approach to data (or rather, our lack thereof), the limited third-party services we rely on, and your rights.

What Data TaxNinja Collects

Nothing. TaxNinja performs every calculation locally using JavaScript. Your income, deductions, filing status, and any other information you enter stays on your device.

  • No user accounts, email addresses, passwords, or contact info
  • No Social Security Numbers, Tax IDs, or financial account details
  • No income figures or deduction amounts leave your browser
  • We have no database, no backend, and no way to access your data — even if we wanted to

TaxNinja collects zero personal data. No name, no email, no financial records — nothing is stored on our servers because we don't have any.

How Your Tax Data Is Stored

Since we collect nothing, there is nothing to use. TaxNinja runs standard JavaScript math in your browser. No data is transmitted, stored, or processed on any server.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Cookies

TaxNinja does not set any first-party cookies or implement any tracking of its own. However, the following third-party services may place cookies when you visit:

  • Google Fonts: Used to load the Inter and Bricolage Grotesque typefaces. Google may set cookies related to font delivery and usage analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google AdSense cookies: We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support our free service. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing activity across the web. These cookies may include identifiers for ad personalization, frequency capping, and fraud prevention. Importantly, no financial data from the TaxNinja calculator is ever shared with Google or any advertiser — we simply don't have access to it. You can opt out of ad personalization at Google Ads Settings, or use your browser's cookie controls to block third-party cookies entirely.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Google AdSense uses cookies to serve relevant advertisements. To opt out of personalized ads, visit google.com/settings/ads

Analytics and Tracking

TaxNinja relies on a minimal set of third-party services:

  • Google Fonts for typography
  • Google AdSense for advertising, which operates independently and may use cookies and web beacons for ad delivery and personalization

We do not use analytics platforms, CRM tools, email marketing services, or data brokers.

Tax Data Security

Security is simple when there's no data to protect. Because all calculations happen in your browser:

  • No financial data is transmitted to any server
  • There is no database to breach
  • The site is served over HTTPS

Your data is inherently secure because it never leaves your device.

Children's Online Privacy

TaxNinja is designed for adults filing US taxes and is not directed at children under 13. Since we do not collect personal information from anyone, this concern does not apply in practice. If you have questions, contact us at privacy@taxninja.site.

External Third-Party Links

Our site may link to external resources such as IRS.gov. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies before sharing any personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes are reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of TaxNinja after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have rights regarding their personal information. Since TaxNinja does not collect, store, sell, or share any personal data, these rights are not applicable:

  • Right to know: We hold no personal data about you.
  • Right to delete: There is nothing on our servers to delete.
  • Right to opt out of sale: We do not sell personal information.
  • Right to non-discrimination: We do not discriminate against users who exercise privacy rights.

Your Rights and How to Clear Your Data

Because TaxNinja collects no personal data, there is no data for you to access, correct, delete, or port. Your controls include:

  • Clearing your browser's local storage at any time
  • Managing Google AdSense ad personalization at Google Ads Settings
  • Blocking cookies through your browser settings
