Privacy Policy

AustraTax Pty Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website to estimate your Australian tax obligations.

By accessing or using our services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We collect information through forms completed on our website. We use the personal information you provide solely for the purpose of performing real-time tax obligation assessments. Specifically, the data helps us determine:

• Your eligibility as a resident for tax purposes under Australian tax law
• Whether you are likely to meet the identification requirements for lodging tax returns

Your data is only processed in memory and used to deliver immediate results during your session. Once the session ends, the data is not retained or stored on our servers or databases.

We do not store, log, or retain any personal data you enter on our site. We do not sell, share, or disclose your information to third parties under any circumstances. Since no data is saved, there is nothing to disclose or distribute beyond your current session.

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

We may disclose personal information:

• To the ATO with your authorisation
• To secure third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics)
• If required by law or legal process (e.g., court orders)

All third-party processors are bound by Australian privacy laws or equivalent safeguards.

• SSL encryption to protect data in transit
• Secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities
• Session-based memory processing — data discarded after session

We may use cookies and analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to improve your experience. These do not track or store personally identifiable data from forms.

You can manage cookies in your browser. Disabling them may affect site functionality.

Since we do not store your data, you do not need to request access, correction, or deletion. If you have privacy concerns, feel free to contact us.

Our website is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you're a parent or guardian and aware your child has shared information, please contact us.

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted here with a new effective date.
