What happens to your information
You can use the calculators and download reports without giving Deductit any details. The job-specific finder processes only the selected OSCA occupation code to retrieve its question profile. Deductit receives your name or contact details only when you fill in a download, unlock or contact form, and never your financial report values.

Use Deductit privately
Your calculator entries, deduction workspace and locally downloaded report stay in this browser. When you open the job-specific finder, only the six-digit OSCA occupation code is sent to retrieve one public question profile. You do not need to give Deductit your name or email.
Give your details when you download a report
Downloading a report or unlocking the full pay report opens a short form. If you complete it, Deductit receives your email, optional name and optional phone number, the report category and broad income and deduction bands. The full report and exact dollar amounts are not included.
Deductit does not ask for your tax file number, date of birth, bank details, identity documents or residential address when you save a report or request contact.
The occupation lookup sends the code in a no-store request body, not in the request URL. Deductit does not write the code to an application log or customer database. It is processed only long enough to return the matching public question profile.
A contact request can also include whether the report relates to an individual or company, whether a HELP loan appears relevant, the Deductit page used and the referring website domain. The customer backend does not store your network address. It keeps a general browser type, the notice accepted and the time to protect the service and record your choice.
How Deductit uses it
- Answer the download, unlock and contact requests you choose to make.
- Respond when you ask Deductit to contact you about its tax tools or services.
- Prevent misuse, investigate security events and keep a protected-data access record that does not contain report values.
- Meet legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
Deductit does not give a selected tax or financial service partner your saved report or exact dollar amounts under the partner permission. If you opt in, the partner receives only your contact details and broad summary. The partner's privacy policy applies to its later handling.
Encrypted storage in the United States
Contact details you submit are processed on secure infrastructure in the United States.
Detailed financial data and contact details are encrypted before database storage. Access is restricted, protected actions are audited, and decrypted report contents are not copied into access logs.
Deductit uses hosting, database and email-delivery providers to operate the contact services. Information can also be disclosed where Australian law requires it.
A report you download directly to your device is not sent to the secure customer data service. A report waiting in your browser is uploaded only when you choose Save this report after email verification.
How long server data is kept
| Information | Deletion schedule |
|---|---|
| Inactive contact request | 90 days after the latest contact or activity |
| Contact request you withdraw or Deductit closes | 30 days |
| Security and access audit records | 24 months, without financial report contents |
| Abuse-prevention records | Checked and deleted daily |
When you ask for your details to be deleted, the stored contact record is destroyed. Deductit can keep a minimal, one-way protected email code and consent record where needed to honour a withdrawal and record the permission history.
Deductit's server retention does not replace your own tax record-keeping obligations. Download any report you need to keep with your records.
View, correct, export or delete your data
