Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

The short version: every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. The numbers you type in — your income, your expenses, your kilometres — are never sent to us, never stored, and never seen by anyone but you. We only collect the general, anonymous analytics data described below.

Who this policy covers

This policy applies to freelanceledger.com.au and every calculator tool hosted on it. We are a small, independently run site providing free financial planning tools for Australian sole traders and freelancers. This is general information only, not financial or legal advice.

What we don't collect

The calculators on this site — the tax calculator, GST checker, home office deduction tool, hourly rate calculator and mileage calculator — process all figures locally in your web browser using JavaScript. None of the numbers you enter are transmitted to our servers, because we don't have a server processing that data at all. There is no account to create, no data to submit, and nothing for us to store or lose.

What we do collect

Like most websites, we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful and where visitors come from. This may include:

This data is not tied to your name, email, or any personal identifier, and we don't use it to track you across other websites.

Advertising and affiliate links

Some pages contain links to third-party products and services (for example, accounting or invoicing software). Some of these are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through them, at no extra cost to you. We only link to tools we think are genuinely relevant to the page you're on. If this site displays advertising, ad providers may use cookies to serve relevant ads — you can control this through your browser settings or an ad-blocking extension.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies, limited to anonymous analytics and, if applicable, advertising. We don't use cookies to identify you personally.

Third-party links

This site links to external tools, software providers, and the Australian Taxation Office. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites — check their own policies before providing any personal information.

Your rights

Because we don't collect personal information through the calculators themselves, there's generally nothing to request, correct, or delete. If you believe we hold any personal information about you through analytics or contact, you can reach out using the details below to ask about it, under the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
