Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 27, 2026

Who We Are

CollectiblesTax.com ("we," "us," or "our") is an educational website that provides tax information, calculators, and guides for collectors. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information.

Information We Collect

Calculator inputs: When you use our Collectibles Tax Calculator, all calculations are performed entirely in your browser. We do not store your raw financial inputs (income, sale prices, cost basis) on any server. Aggregated, non-identifying summary metrics (such as estimated tax ranges, filing status, and state) may be sent to Google Analytics to help us improve the tool. No personally identifiable financial information is collected or stored.

Contact form submissions: If you contact us through our contact page, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is processed by FormSubmit.co, a third-party form handling service, and forwarded to us by email. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.

Email subscriptions: If you sign up for our email list or download a resource (such as our Cost Basis Tracker), we collect your email address through Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), our email marketing platform. Your email address is stored on Brevo's servers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

Analytics data: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and general geographic region. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Advertising: We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries submitted through the contact form
  • Send educational content to subscribers who opt in to our email list
  • Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
  • Ensure the site functions properly

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies and Local Storage

Our site uses cookies set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense to help us understand traffic patterns, improve the user experience, and serve relevant advertisements. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Our calculator and guides function fully without cookies enabled.

We also use your browser's session storage (not cookies) to manage user-interface preferences such as whether you have dismissed a notification. Session storage is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab and is never transmitted to our servers.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

If we add affiliate links to marketplace platforms in the future, those platforms may use their own cookies when you click through. We will update this policy and add an affiliate disclosure page before implementing any affiliate relationships.

Data Security

Our website is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection). Since our calculator runs entirely in your browser and we do not store financial data, there is minimal data exposure risk. Contact form submissions are processed by FormSubmit.co and forwarded to us by email. Email subscriptions are managed by Brevo. We rely on these providers' security practices to protect your information. See their privacy policies linked above for details.

You have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your personal data
