3Information We Collect & How It Is Used

Because WeeklyTax.au is an informational calculator utility, we follow a strict data minimization philosophy:

Information You Voluntarily Provide

If you contact us via our Contact Form or direct email, we collect your name, email address, inquiry topic, and the contents of your message solely to respond to your communication.

Financial Inputs (Never Stored)

Hourly pay rates, weekly hours, annual salary, tax-free threshold selections, superannuation percentages, and HECS balances operate entirely in your browser session via client-side JavaScript.

4Log Files and Technical Analytics

Like virtually all modern web properties, WeeklyTax.au follows a standard procedure of utilizing server log files. The technical parameters recorded by log files may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
  • Browser type and user-agent version
  • Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  • Date and time stamp of access
  • Referring and exit pages
  • Approximate page count viewed during a session

These logs are used solely for website administration, server load balancing, analyzing aggregate traffic patterns, and preventing malicious DDoS attacks. These logs are not linked to any personally identifiable information.

5Browser Cookies and Local Storage

We use browser LocalStorage for essential site preferences — specifically, saving your chosen Light Mode or Dark Mode aesthetic preference (`theme: 'light'` or `'dark'`). This ensures an uninterrupted user experience across page views. No personal identifiers or tax figures are stored in LocalStorage.

You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you whenever a cookie is set. If you disable cookies in your browser settings, the core tax calculations on this website will continue to function without impairment.
