Privacy Policy

Overview

My1099Taxes.com ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website at my1099taxes.com (the "Site").

Information We Collect

No personal financial data is collected. All tax calculations are performed entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your income figures, deductions, filing status, and other inputs are never sent to our servers or any third-party service. We do not have access to the numbers you enter into our calculators.

We may collect limited, non-personally-identifiable information through standard web analytics, including: pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, referring URL, and approximate geographic location (country/region level). This data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to ensure the Site functions properly. Third-party advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings. We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not track individual users across websites.

Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads to you based on your prior visits to our Site and other sites on the Internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads based on your visits to our Site and other sites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

For more information about how Google uses data from sites or apps that use its services, please review Google's "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services" policy.

Data Security

Our Site is served over HTTPS encryption. Since we do not collect or store personal financial data, there is no financial data at risk. We take reasonable measures to protect the limited analytics data we collect.

Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you the right to: (a) know what personal information we collect about you; (b) request deletion of your personal information; (c) request correction of inaccurate personal information; (d) opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; and (e) limit use of your sensitive personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money. To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@my1099taxes.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

European Users (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR grant you certain rights regarding your personal data. Our lawful bases for processing are (i) our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site and understanding aggregate usage through analytics, and (ii) your consent, where we request it — for example, for personalized advertising cookies.

You have the right to: (a) access the personal data we hold about you; (b) request correction of inaccurate data; (c) request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten"); (d) object to processing or request restriction of processing; (e) request data portability; and (f) withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@my1099taxes.com. Note that personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers (including Google) operate. Where required, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
