Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 8, 2026
This policy explains how Ohio Sales Tax Calculator handles information when you use the site.
Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization. Ohio Sales Tax Calculator runs its core calculations entirely in your local browser using client-side JavaScript. The purchase amounts, item categories, vehicle trade-in prices, and county presets you input are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers or stored in any database.
We automatically collect basic anonymous server logs (such as IP addresses, browser agent types, referring URLs, and timestamps) for security monitoring, DDoS prevention, and diagnosing hosting anomalies.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies to improve your user experience and monitor site traffic patterns. Specifically, we utilize Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect aggregated, anonymized usage statistics. This helps us understand how visitors locate our calculators and which guides are most popular.
You can manage, restrict, or delete cookies through your browser's security settings. Please review our full Cookies Policy for details.
Third-Party Hosting & Security
Our website is hosted on Vercel, a secure global cloud platform. Vercel collects metadata related to network traffic to serve compiled static files efficiently. We utilize standard SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) across all pages to protect network transmissions against unauthorized interception.
Your Data Protection Rights (CCPA / GDPR)
Depending on your location, you may have statutory rights regarding your personal data. This includes the right to request access to the logs we maintain, correct inaccuracies, or request complete deletion of any stored logs.
Because we do not collect personal profiles, email newsletters, or financial accounts, we hold no user records to delete or access. For inquiries regarding general log collection, you can reach out via our contact page.
Children's Privacy
Our tools are designed for general audiences and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect or request personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with email details, please contact us to remove it.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal standards or tool updates. We encourage you to review this page regularly. The 'Last updated' date at the top indicates when the latest revisions took effect.
