Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
Taxa ("we," "our," "the app") is a BIR compliance guidance app for Filipino entrepreneurs. This policy explains what information Taxa collects, how it's used, and what choices you have.
Using Taxa without an account
Taxa's free tier does not require you to create an account or sign in. When you complete onboarding without signing in, your business profile, reminders, bookmarks, and checklist progress are stored only locally on your device (using standard iOS/Android local storage). This local data is never transmitted to our servers unless you choose to sign in.
Information we collect if you sign in
You can optionally sign in with Google, Apple, or email/password — for example, after subscribing to Taxa Premium, or to restore a prior purchase on a new device. If you sign in, we collect and store:
- Account identifiers: your email address and a unique account ID, provided by Google, Apple, or created for email/password sign-in.
- Business profile data: business name, business type, tax type, industry, and registration date, which you enter during onboarding.
- App data: your reminders, bookmarks, and compliance checklist progress, so this data can sync across devices.
- Subscription status: whether you have an active Taxa Premium subscription and its expiry date, managed through Apple/Google's in-app purchase systems and our subscription provider, RevenueCat.
Third-party services we use
Taxa relies on the following third-party services to operate:
- Firebase (Google): authentication, database storage (Firestore), and push notification delivery.
- RevenueCat: processes and verifies in-app subscription purchases made through Apple App Store or Google Play. RevenueCat receives purchase and subscription event data from Apple/Google to confirm your subscription status.
- Apple App Store / Google Play Billing: all payment processing is handled directly by Apple and Google. Taxa never receives or stores your payment card details.
Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data on our behalf.
Push notifications
If you enable notifications, Taxa schedules local reminders on your device for upcoming BIR deadlines. A device token may be used to enable this functionality through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Data deletion and account requests
Taxa does not currently have a self-service option in the app to delete your account or data. To request deletion of your account and associated data, email us at joshualasac@gmail.com and we will process your request.
Children's privacy
Taxa is intended for business owners and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
