1. Introduction

EU VAT Calculator ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our VAT calculation service at euvat.dev (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

Calculation Data: VAT calculations are processed server-side but no calculation inputs or results are permanently stored. We log aggregate operation counts for rate limiting purposes.

Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage analytics (page views, feature usage) via Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not track individual users.

Payment Information: If you purchase the Pro plan, payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or other sensitive payment details on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

Perform VAT calculations and VIES validations
Enforce rate limits for free-tier users
Process payments for Pro plan purchases
Improve our Service based on aggregate usage patterns

4. Data Storage and Security

We do not store your calculation inputs or results. Rate limit counters use your IP address and are automatically cleaned up. All data transfers are encrypted using TLS/HTTPS. Our servers are located in the European Union.

5. Cookies

We do not use tracking cookies. If you subscribe to the Pro plan, we use a minimal session cookie to maintain your authentication state. This cookie is HTTP-only and secure.
