Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-01

This policy explains what information tdscalculators.com collects, how it is used, and the privacy safeguards in place. It applies solely to this website and not to any third-party resources or portals we link to.

1. Who we are

tdscalculators.com is an independent digital publication and financial computation tool operated by a team of direct tax researchers. We are not a government agency, a chartered accountancy firm, or an authorized tax intermediary. We do not sell financial products or charge fees for calculating Tax Deducted at Source (TDS).

For any queries regarding this policy, you can contact us at hello@tdscalculators.com.

2. The calculator runs 100% locally on your device

Our TDS calculator is engineered as a client-side web application. All calculations — including the transaction amount, contractor fees, professional charges, rent figures, PAN toggle states, and deduction results — are executed entirely inside your device's web browser.

None of the financial figures or tax amounts you enter are ever transmitted to our web servers, saved in a database, or logged anywhere. Once you close or reload the browser tab, your inputs are completely cleared from browser memory.

3. Information we do not collect

We do not require users to sign up, log in, or register to use any of our TDS calculators or reference tables.

We never ask for, collect, or store Permanent Account Numbers (PAN), Tax Deduction Account Numbers (TAN), Aadhaar details, bank account numbers, or invoice attachments.

The contact form is the only section where you may voluntarily choose to transmit your name and email address to us for support enquiries.

4. Technical log data

Like virtually all web properties, our hosting infrastructure and content delivery networks (such as Vercel) automatically record standard HTTP server logs. This may include your IP address, browser type, device operating system, requested page URL, and timestamp.

This diagnostic information is utilized exclusively for server performance monitoring, DDoS mitigation, and ensuring uptime. It is not connected to any personal identity or calculation figures.

5. Cookies and Google AdSense

This website itself does not set any first-party marketing or tracking cookies. However, third-party services such as Google AdSense may place cookies or web beacons in your browser to deliver contextual advertisements.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other websites on the internet. You can manage or disable personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com) or www.aboutads.info.

6. The contact form

If you reach out to us using the contact form, the form triggers your default email client with a pre-filled template addressed to hello@tdscalculators.com. Your message is sent directly through standard email protocols without passing through our web server.

We retain email correspondence solely for as long as necessary to answer your inquiry or address reported rate changes. We never sell or share contact details with marketing aggregators.

7. Data security and Indian DPDP compliance

Because all computational processing occurs client-side and we do not maintain user databases, your financial confidentiality is preserved by design. We maintain HTTPS encryption across the entire domain.

We comply with the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act of India.

8. External links

tdscalculators.com contains informative links to statutory portals including the Income Tax e-filing portal (incometax.gov.in), TRACES (tdscpc.gov.in), and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of external government or commercial domains.

9. Policy updates

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technical or legal requirements. Any amendments will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
