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.

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:

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.
