Taxare privacy policy

Taxare is made by Intrinsic Ninja (ABN 92386964622), Canberra, Australia. This policy says what data Taxare handles, why, and what control you have over it. If anything here is unclear, ask through the contact form.

What I collect

Account data. Email address and hashed password.

Tax information you enter. Income, expenses, deductions and the answers you give for each year. Documents you upload (payslips, income statements) and the figures read from them.

Taxare never asks for, stores or transmits your tax file number. If you type it into a free-text field, delete it — it isn’t needed.

Technical data. Standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested) and, on the web app, Google Analytics 4 usage data. Analytics is anonymised and I don’t use it to identify you.

What I don’t collect

• I never sell your data, and I never share it with anyone for marketing.
• I don’t use advertising trackers.
• I don’t buy data about you from anyone else.

How I use it

To organise your outstanding years and estimate what they’re worth. Taxare doesn’t send anything to the ATO — you do, through myTax. Your figures are never used for anything except showing them back to you.

Where it’s stored

On servers in Australia. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are hashed — I can’t read them.

Who else sees it

Nobody, except the services that host and run the app (the hosting provider; Google Analytics for anonymised web usage). I’ll only disclose personal information if the law requires it.

How long I keep it

For as long as you have an account. Delete your account and everything — including uploaded documents — is removed within 7 days. Server logs roll over within 90 days.

Your rights

You can ask me for a copy of your data, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it through the contact form. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au) if you think I’ve handled your data badly — but please tell me first so I can fix it.

Children

Taxare isn’t designed for anyone under 16 and I don’t knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes I’ll update the date at the top and, for anything significant, tell you in the app.
