Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to National Tax Tools (nationaltaxtools.com), an educational tax calculator and guide platform operated by Munib Ur Rehman. References to "we," "us," and "our" refer to National Tax Tools.
Information We Do Not Collect
To be explicit about our privacy practices, National Tax Tools does not:
- Require user registration or account creation
- Collect, store, or transmit calculator inputs (all calculations happen entirely in your browser)
- Sell or rent the personal information you provide to us directly, such as contact form submissions (note: our advertising partner may use cookie-based data for personalized ads - see the Advertising section below, including how to opt out)
- Store Social Security Numbers or any financial account information
Information We May Collect
Contact Form Submissions: If you submit the contact form at /contact/, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
Server Logs: Our web hosting provider may automatically record standard server log data, including IP addresses, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. This data is used for security monitoring and performance analysis and is not linked to any personal identity.
Local Storage: We use your browser's localStorage to save your dark/light mode preference. This preference never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our pages. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies and collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and an anonymous identifier used to measure repeat visits. We do not use this data for advertising or to identify you personally, and we have not enabled Google Signals or cross-device tracking. You can review how Google handles this data in Google's Privacy Policy.
How to opt out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, by using your browser's "Do Not Track" or cookie controls, or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising and Grow by Mediavine
This site uses Grow by Mediavine, a reader-engagement and advertising service provided by Mediavine, Inc. Grow and the broader Mediavine advertising platform may set cookies and use similar technologies (pixels, tags, and SDKs) to support site features, measure engagement, and serve advertising, including interest-based (personalized) advertising.
Through these technologies, Mediavine may collect information such as the pages you view, your approximate location, IP address, device and browser type, operating system, and - if you choose to log in or subscribe through a Grow feature - an email address in hashed form. Grow may also store data in your browser's local storage to remember your preferences and saved items. This data is processed by Mediavine as described in the Mediavine Privacy Notice.
Your choices: If you are in the EU, EEA, or UK, a Mediavine consent banner (the Mediavine Consent Management Platform) appears on your first visit, letting you accept or reject this data collection under the GDPR and the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. If you are in a U.S. state with opt-out rights such as California (CCPA), you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your information for personalized advertising. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising across participating networks at the NAI opt-out page or the DAA opt-out page, and you can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Rejecting personalized advertising does not remove ads entirely - you may still see non-personalized ads.
