Information we collect

Calculator inputs: When you use our calculators (income, GST, rate), the values you enter are processed entirely in your browser. We do not transmit or store any calculator inputs on our servers.

Usage data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site — pages viewed, time on site, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/city level). This data does not identify you personally.

Contact emails: If you email us at hello@soletradertax.com.au, we retain your email address and message content to respond to your enquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without explicit consent.
