Privacy Policy

Global Property Tax Calculator operates the website at this domain, providing a free online tool for estimating stamp duty and property transfer tax across the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Singapore, and Canada.

For privacy-related enquiries, please use our contact form.

Information you provide: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal details to use the calculator. The property values and selections you enter are processed in real time to produce your tax estimate and are not stored against any identifier.

Usage data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard access logs when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and the date and time of your request. This data is used solely for operating and improving the service and is retained for a maximum of 90 days.

Cookies and local storage: We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies and browser local storage to remember your preferences (for example, your chosen colour theme: light or dark). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

Analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics software (such as Plausible Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not collect personal data) to understand aggregate traffic patterns and improve the tool. No personally identifiable information is transmitted to analytics providers.

We use the information collected to:

• Deliver and operate the property tax calculator service.
• Monitor the security, performance, and reliability of the website.
• Diagnose and fix technical issues.
• Understand how users interact with the tool in aggregate, so we can improve it.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, our legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the service (Article 6(1)(f)). We have assessed that these legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms, given that we collect minimal data, do not use it for profiling, and retain it only briefly.

Server access logs are retained for up to 90 days and then deleted. Theme preferences stored in your browser remain until you clear your browser data — they are never transmitted to our servers. We do not retain calculator input values beyond the duration of your session.

We share data with third parties only where strictly necessary to operate the service:

• Hosting providers — the servers that serve this website process your requests by necessity. Our hosting infrastructure is selected for its security and data-protection standards.
• Analytics providers — we may use cookieless, privacy-first analytics tools that process only aggregate, anonymised data.

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, social networks, or any third party for commercial purposes.

Our servers may be located in countries outside your own. Where data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the relevant data protection authority.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability (receive your data in a structured format).
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in the UK: the ICO).

Because we collect very limited data and do not link it to named individuals, it may not be possible to locate data associated with you specifically. To exercise any of these rights, please use our contact form.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure, including HTTPS encryption for all traffic, access controls on server infrastructure, and regular security reviews.

This service is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where local law requires). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

For questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please reach us via our contact form.
