Privacy policy

This policy covers taxtools.network and the tax facts connector served from it. Each member site publishes its own privacy policy for its own pages.

This website

taxtools.network uses Google Analytics to count visits: which pages are viewed, the page or site a visitor came from, approximate country, device type, and clicks on email links. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies to tell one visit from another and processes this data under Google's privacy policy. We use it only to see how the site and the connector page are used, never for advertising. The site runs no advertising and no other third-party scripts.

The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes each request (including the visitor's IP address) to deliver the page and protect the site, under Cloudflare's privacy policy.

The tax facts connector

The connector needs no account and receives no conversation. When Claude calls one of its tools, the server receives only that tool's inputs. Those inputs are used to answer the call. For each call we also record:

  • the tool name, the country and tax year asked about, and the date range for upcoming changes;
  • the search words or the statement checked, cut to its first 200 characters;
  • how many results were returned, whether nothing matched, and how long the answer took;
  • whether the call came from Anthropic's network or elsewhere.

The record holds no IP address, no account, device or user identifier, and no cookie. Its purpose is to see which tax figures people ask about that are not yet recorded, and to keep the service working. Statements sent to check_tax_claim are kept in the same record, so please leave personal details out of them.

Separately, the IP address of each request is used, without being stored by us, to apply a rate limit to callers outside Anthropic's network. Cloudflare's operational logs for the server can include request details such as the IP address and are kept for up to 7 days for debugging.

If you email us to join the early-access list for a possible paid tier, we keep that email and its contents only to announce the tier.

Who processes it

Cloudflare hosts the site and the connector and stores the call records on our behalf. Google processes the website's visit statistics. The connector sends nothing to Google. Nothing is sold, rented or shared with anyone else, and nothing is used for advertising.

How long it is kept

  • Call records: about three months, then deleted automatically.
  • Cloudflare's operational logs for the connector: up to 7 days.
  • Google Analytics visit data: two months at the visit level; totals in reports are kept longer.

Your choices

You can block or delete Google Analytics cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's opt-out add-on, and the site works the same. Because call records carry no identifier, a single person's calls cannot be found or deleted on request; they expire on the schedule above. Questions about this policy: [email protected].
