Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2025

This policy explains how TheSalaryCalc.co.uk handles information when you use our website.

1. What Information We Collect

We do not collect or store any personal data entered into our calculators. All salary figures, tax settings and other inputs you enter are processed entirely within your own browser and are never transmitted to our servers.

We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, or share your email address to use any of our tools.

We use two third-party services that may collect limited, anonymised data:

2. Cookies

Our website uses cookies in the following categories:

For a full list of cookies used, see our Cookie Policy. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or using the "Manage Preferences" button on that page.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to analyse website traffic. This service collects anonymised data about how users interact with our pages — including which pages are visited, how long users spend on them, and the type of device used. No personally identifiable information is collected or shared through this service.

If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Google AdSense

We display advertisements on this website through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to serve adverts based on your browsing history and interests. This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

You can manage your advertising preferences through Google's Ad Settings page, or opt out of interest-based advertising via the Your Online Choices tool.

5. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you have certain rights in relation to personal data. Because we do not collect or store your personal data directly, most of these rights apply primarily to data held by Google Analytics and Google AdSense on our behalf.

To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions about this policy, please contact us.

6. Data Retention

We do not store any user-entered data on our servers. Any data held by Google Analytics is subject to Google's own retention policies, which you can manage through your Google account settings. Advertising data collected by Google AdSense is retained as outlined in Google's privacy documentation.

7. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites and are not responsible for them. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external website you visit.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back periodically to stay informed.
