FAQ
What information we collect
We keep collection minimal. Like most websites, our servers may automatically receive basic technical
information
needed to deliver pages securely and reliably — for example, IP address, user-agent, and request timing.
We also use privacy-friendly analytics (details below) to understand which pages are useful and to improve the
site.
What we don't collect
What Is Deductible does not ask you to create an account and does not request sensitive personal tax
information.
- No SSNs/SINs, tax return uploads, or government account logins.
- No storing of form inputs as part of normal browsing.
- No sale of personal information.
If you email us, please don't include sensitive identifiers (SSN/SIN, account numbers, full returns, etc.).
Analytics
We use Google Analytics configured in a privacy-friendly way. In particular:
- Advertising-related storage is denied by default.
- IP anonymization is enabled.
- Google signals and ad personalization signals are disabled.
- Client storage is disabled (configured as none).
This helps us understand aggregated usage — which pages are visited and how people navigate the site —
without building advertising profiles or tracking individuals across the web.
Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies on this site.
Some third-party services (including analytics providers) may attempt to use cookies under certain
configurations,
but this site is configured to deny ad storage and analytics storage by default.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
Affiliate links
Some pages include affiliate links to products or services we recommend, such as accounting software and
tax filing tools. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no
additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not influence how information is presented on this site. Our goal is clear,
accurate explanations of deductibility rules regardless of whether a relevant product is linked.
Third-party websites and services
This site may link to third-party websites — for example, IRS.gov, CRA.ca, or recommended tools.
We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Please review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
