General privacy position
TaxDecod aims to handle platform and usage information responsibly. This page explains the main categories of information that may be processed while using the site and why that information may be needed to operate, improve, secure, and monetise the platform.
Information users may enter
Depending on the feature used, users may enter salary figures, deduction inputs, tax-code details, payslip values, benchmark selections, or an email address where a feature offers account-linked saving, export, or delivery.
How information is used
User-provided inputs may be used to generate salary-related outputs, power feature logic, support saved-scenario functionality, improve platform quality, investigate technical issues, and maintain product performance.
Analytics and usage data
TaxDecod may use analytics and performance tools to understand traffic patterns, route usage, device behaviour, page performance, and feature engagement. This helps improve usability, quality, stability, security, and product decision-making.
Cookies and similar technologies
TaxDecod and service providers used by the platform may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for essential site operation, security, analytics, performance measurement, user preferences, consent management, and advertising. Browser and device controls may allow users to manage some of these technologies.
Google advertising and cookies
TaxDecod uses Google AdSense and related Google advertising technologies. When advertising is served, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve and measure ads based on a visitor's previous visits to TaxDecod or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to TaxDecod and/or other sites on the Internet.
UK, EEA and Switzerland consent choices
For eligible visitors in the UK, European Economic Area and Switzerland, TaxDecod uses Google's Privacy & Messaging consent platform. Where required, visitors are asked to make choices about cookies or other local storage and the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for personalised advertising and related purposes before those activities take place.
Email and account-linked features
Where a feature allows account creation, scenario saving, or email-based delivery, the minimum information needed to support that functionality may be processed and stored through the relevant technical providers used by the platform.
Data minimisation and user judgment
Users should avoid entering unnecessary personal or highly sensitive information into tools that are primarily designed for salary estimation and deduction interpretation. TaxDecod is not intended to act as a secure document vault for highly sensitive financial records.
Third-party services
TaxDecod may rely on third-party infrastructure, analytics, authentication, hosting, database, consent-management, or monetisation providers to operate the platform. Those services may process technical or usage information as part of delivering their role in the service and are subject to their own privacy terms and policies.
Policy updates
This privacy policy may be updated as the platform evolves, services change, or legal and product requirements develop. The latest published version on this page is the version that applies to current use of TaxDecod.
Advertising choices and Google information
Visitors can manage or opt out of personalised advertising through Google's Ads Settings. Google also explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use Google services. Where a TaxDecod privacy or consent control is shown, visitors can also use that control to review or update the choices available to them.
