Last updated: November 14, 2026. This policy explains how TariffCostCalc.com may process data when you visit and use its calculators.
Calculator entries
The interactive calculator is designed to perform arithmetic in your browser. You do not need an account to use it. If you use the share-link feature, entered numbers may be encoded into the URL you copy; do not share that link if the figures are commercially sensitive. Web servers and analytics systems may record visited URLs.
Technical and usage information
Like most websites, hosting providers may process IP addresses, browser type, pages requested, timestamps, and other technical logs for security and operations. If analytics or advertising services are activated, their identifiers and cookies may also be used, subject to applicable consent requirements. If you submit the contact form, we process the name, email address, subject and message you provide to respond to your inquiry, prevent spam and maintain a record when needed for support.
Cookies and third parties
See our Cookie Policy for more information. External references are operated by independent parties; their privacy practices may differ.

Information visitors choose to send
You can use the basic calculator pages without registering an account. If you write through the Contact page, the form asks for a name, email address, subject and message so we can understand your request and respond. You decide what information to provide. Please avoid including passport or identity numbers, payment-card details, passwords, bank account information, import-entry credentials or confidential invoices.
Contact messages may be processed by the website’s WordPress contact-form plugin, email provider, and any spam or security protection services used on the site. Messages are intended for responding to requests, investigating errors, and keeping reasonable correspondence records. We do not require visitors to supply sensitive personal records to run the calculator.
Calculator input and shareable URLs
Most numerical calculator processing is intended to happen locally in your browser. Your entered goods values, shipping prices, quantities or duty rates do not need to be submitted to the contact form. Some calculators offer a shareable-link feature that places inputs directly into the URL’s query parameters.
Anyone who receives such a URL may see the values it contains. Depending on hosting, browser and external systems, URLs can also be recorded in server logs, browser history, analytics or referrer data. Do not share a link containing confidential purchase prices, shipment details, or business-sensitive data unless you are comfortable with the recipient and potential logs.
Hosting, security and technical logs
To deliver the website and limit abuse, technical service providers may process IP addresses, requested pages, browser or device information, timestamps, error reports, and information about potentially malicious requests. WordPress plugins and the hosting environment may also generate logs needed to investigate availability or security problems.
We use technical data for site operations, security and troubleshooting as appropriate. Exact log retention can depend on the hosting provider, backups and the relevant processing purpose. We do not promise a fixed retention period that has not been verified with those providers.
Cookie consent and optional services
The website uses the Complianz plugin to manage consent preferences where applicable. Functional cookies may support administration, caching or core operation, while optional statistics or marketing technologies should be identified and managed according to the visitor’s choices and applicable law.
The active list of services can change if analytics, advertisements or affiliate features are introduced. See our Cookie Policy and the on-page consent interface for current categories. Blocking cookies in your browser is separate from withdrawing consent through the site’s preferences.
Legal grounds and sharing with providers
Depending on the visitor’s location and applicable law, data may be processed to respond to a request, operate and protect the service, comply with legal obligations, or on the basis of consent for optional technologies. The relevant legal basis depends on the activity and jurisdiction.
We may use hosting, email, spam-prevention and security providers to operate the service. Those providers can process technical or message information as needed to perform their functions. We do not claim that every external site we link to follows our privacy policies. Access to an independent government or transport provider’s website is governed by that provider’s terms.
Privacy requests and contact
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may be entitled to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or information about processing of your personal data. Some requests are subject to exceptions, identity verification or lawful retention obligations.
Send a specific privacy inquiry to contact@tariffcostcalc.com or through our Contact page. Explain the nature of the request without emailing additional sensitive information unless necessary. We may need reasonable details to identify the relevant contact record.
Security, links and policy updates
No website, email system or network can guarantee perfect security. Avoid sharing confidential commercial information through calculator URLs or public messages. If you suspect misuse of the contact form, report it through the official contact address.
We may revise this policy when new plugins, consent services, email systems or legal requirements affect processing. The revision date indicates when the text was last reviewed and does not mean that every third-party provider has the same retention or privacy approach.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need my personal information to calculate import duty?
No account or personal contact information is necessary for the basic published calculator functions.
Are shareable calculations confidential?
No URL carrying the entered numbers should be treated as a secure confidential channel.
Where can I make a privacy request?

Retention and rights
Retention depends on hosting, security, backup, and any future analytics settings. Depending on applicable laws, you may have rights to ask about, correct, or erase personal information. This policy should be updated if new analytics, advertising, or contact systems are installed.
