Your Privacy Matters to Us
This policy explains how TaxlyHub collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our 1099 tax calculator and related tax tools.
Last Updated: April 23, 2026Who We Are
TaxlyHub ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website TaxlyHub.site — a free online platform that provides a 1099 tax calculator, self-employment tax calculator, estimated tax calculator, and related educational resources for U.S. freelancers, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals.
Our tools — including the tax calculator for 1099 income, the 1099-NEC tax calculator, the 1099-MISC tax calculator, and the free 1099 tax calculator — are designed to help users estimate their federal and state tax obligations quickly, accurately, and at zero cost.
Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate and improve our services. This falls into two categories:
Automatically Collected
Browser type, device info, IP address, pages visited, and time spent — via analytics tools.
Voluntarily Provided
Name, email, and message when you submit our contact form to reach our support team.
Calculator Inputs
Income and deduction values you enter into our 1099 tax calculator are processed locally and never stored on our servers.
When you use our 1099 income tax calculator, self-employment tax calculator, or 1099 estimated tax calculator, the numbers you enter (such as gross income, Schedule C deductions, or quarterly payment amounts) are used only to compute your tax estimate in real time. We do not save, log, or transmit your financial inputs.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used exclusively for the following legitimate purposes:
- To operate our tools — Delivering accurate tax estimates through our free 1099 tax calculator, 1099-NEC calculator, W2 & 1099 combined calculator, and other tools.
- To respond to inquiries — If you contact us via the support form, we use your email and message solely to reply to your question.
- To improve user experience — Aggregated, anonymized analytics help us understand which calculators (e.g., 1099 tax calculator California, quarterly estimated tax) are most used, so we can improve them.
- To maintain security — IP addresses and request logs help us detect and prevent abuse, spam, or malicious activity.
- To publish educational content — Usage trends may inform our blog and guides on topics like 1099 tax deductions, form 1099 explanations, and Schedule C guidance.
We do not use your information for advertising profiling, email marketing campaigns, or data brokering. We will never sell your personal data.
