Privacy policy
Last updated: 28 April 2026
Who we are
IsMyTaxDigital provides a free, informational eligibility checker for HMRC's Making Tax Digital programme. This site is operated as a personal/independent project and does not provide regulated tax advice.
For the purposes of UK GDPR, the data controller for personal data submitted through this site is the operator of IsMyTaxDigital. You can reach us at hello@ismytaxdigital.com or via the contact form on the homepage.
What data we collect
We only collect data that you choose to provide:
- Eligibility checker and calculators: the answers you select (taxpayer type, income, etc.) are processed in your browser only. They are not transmitted to us or stored on our servers.
- Contact form: if you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you write so that we can reply.
- Email updates: we do not currently operate a newsletter or deadline reminder email list. If email updates are added in future, this policy will be updated before any collection begins.
- Analytics: we use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to measure aggregate, anonymous usage. These do not set tracking cookies and do not identify individual users.
How we use your data
Contact form submissions are sent through Resend, our email delivery provider. We use contact details solely to respond to your message. We do not sell, share, or use your contact details for any other marketing.
Lawful basis for processing
- Contact form: legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), to respond to enquiries you initiate.
- Analytics: legitimate interests, to understand aggregate site usage. No personal identifiers are collected.
International data transfers
Our hosting and email providers (Vercel and Resend) are US-headquartered companies that may process data outside the UK and EEA. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, those transfers are covered by the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or an equivalent safeguard published by each provider.
Data retention
Contact form messages are retained in our email inbox for up to 24 months and are deleted thereafter unless an active correspondence is ongoing. You may request deletion at any time.
Cookies
This site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Vercel Analytics is cookieless. Your browser may set technical cookies required to render the site, but no personal tracking takes place.
Your rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, use the contact form on the homepage or email hello@ismytaxdigital.com. We will respond within one calendar month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. We'd appreciate the chance to address concerns directly first.
Third parties
- Vercel, hosting and analytics provider.
- Resend, transactional email provider used for contact form delivery.
