Privacy Policy & Zero-Storage Guarantee
Effective Date: Fiscal Tax Year 2026 • Strict Client-Side Privacy Standard
1. Foundational Architecture & Philosophy
At FreelanceTools, accessible via https://freelancertools.uk, the privacy of our visitors is our paramount architectural priority. Unlike conventional cloud SaaS software, FreelanceTools operates on a 100% client-side computing paradigm.
All calculations, hourly rate models, milestone estimates, VAT allocations, and invoice compilations occur exclusively inside your web browser's local sandbox memory. We maintain zero central databases, zero remote records, and zero cloud backups of your financial inputs.
2. What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not transmit, record, or inspect your income goals, business expenses, or tax rates.
- We do not store client company names, project descriptions, or contractual milestones.
- We do not log bank account numbers, IBANs, SWIFT codes, or tax IDs entered into invoices.
- We do not store generated PDF files on remote servers; all PDFs compile locally on your machine.
3. Local Storage & Offline Persistence
To enable seamless navigation between calculators without losing your inputs, our application utilizes your browser's native localStorage sandbox. This data never leaves your device and can be erased instantly at any time by clearing your browser cache.
4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies
To subsidize free public access to our tools, FreelanceTools displays contextual advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies (such as DoubleClick) to serve ads based on visits across the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
5. Statutory Rights Under GDPR & CCPA
Because we never harvest or store identifiable personal profiles on our servers, there is no remote database record to inspect or breach. You maintain full sovereignty over your data at all times.
