Privacy Policy

EOFYmate is operated by Alireza Soltani (ABN 41 857 308 281), trading as EOFYmate. References to 'we', 'us' or 'our' mean Alireza Soltani trading as EOFYmate.

The short version

The tax figures you type — your income, deductions and the rest — are processed in your browser to show your estimate. We deliberately do not send your income figures to our servers, and we never store your card details. Your expense tracker entries are saved only in your browser and never reach us. The only personal information we collect is the name and email you give us when you unlock the paid tool, and when you paid.

What we collect

• Account / purchase details: your name and email address, provided when you begin checkout to unlock full access (we keep these even if you don't complete payment, so we can support you and send a sign-in link). When you pay, we record the date of each purchase so your 12-month pass runs for the right period. At checkout we also record some non-sensitive context — your estimated total deductions figure and your tax-residency situation (for example, resident or working holiday maker) — to provide support and improve the tool. We do not record your income or the detailed figures you type into the calculators.
• Payment information: handled entirely by our payment processor, Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• Saved progress: your slider inputs and advisor answers are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) so a refresh doesn't lose your work. Your income figures are excluded from anything saved to disk.
• Expense tracker: the expenses, notes and receipt ticks you enter are stored only in your browser (localStorage). They are never sent to us, so we can't see or recover them. The tax bracket you pick to value them is not saved at all.
• Usage analytics: we count page visits and a few anonymous actions (such as starting an estimate or saving a summary) to learn which parts of the site help people. We use Vercel Web Analytics and Umami for this; neither uses cookies or identifies you. These counts never include your income or any amounts, and the part of a web address after "?" or "#" is not recorded.
• Technical data: standard server and security logs (e.g. IP address, browser type) kept by our hosting provider to operate and protect the service.

How we use it

• To provide the tool and unlock paid access for you.
• To email your receipt and sign-in links.
• To work out when your 12-month pass ends.
• To notify us of new sign-ups and to provide support.
• To keep the service secure and to comply with our legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted providers purely to run the service:

• Stripe — payment processing (privacy policy).
• Resend — sending transactional email (receipts, sign-in links).
• Vercel — website hosting, security and anonymous visit counts.
• Umami — cookie-free website analytics (page visits and anonymous actions only, never your figures).
• Upstash — secure storage of unlock records (your email, purchase reference and purchase dates, so you can sign in and your pass runs for the right period).

Some of these providers may process data outside Australia. We only use reputable providers with appropriate safeguards.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your progress, your expense tracker entries and whether you've unlocked the tool. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Security and retention

We use industry-standard measures (encryption in transit, restricted access) to protect your information, and keep it only as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal and tax record-keeping requirements. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or ask a question about this policy, by emailing hello@eofymate.com.au. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Children

EOFYmate is intended for adults managing their own tax and is not directed at children under 16.
