2. Your Tax and Income Computation Data
PinoyTaxGuide is designed as an educational, client-side estimator. We do not collect, store, or sell personally identifiable financial data such as your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), employer details, or confidential salary slips. Income figures entered into our tax estimation tool are processed to generate estimates on your device and are not retained on our servers for personal profiling.
