Privacy Policy

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how The Salary Calc (thesalarycalc.co.uk) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. The Salary Calc is operated by The Salary Calc. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the limited data we process.

What Data We Collect

The Salary Calc collects minimal data through two third-party services:

What We Do Not Collect

The Salary Calc is designed with privacy at its core. We want to be clear about what we do not do:

• check_circle No personal data collected. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.
• check_circle No user accounts. The Salary Calc does not require registration or sign-in. There are no accounts, profiles, or stored credentials.
• check_circle No calculation data stored. All calculations run entirely client-side in your browser. The exact numbers you enter into our calculators are never sent to our servers or any third party. When you close the page, your calculation data is gone. Only if you choose “Accept All” on our cookie banner, the salary calculator also sends anonymous usage events to our own server and to Google Analytics: your salary band (for example “50k-100k”, never the exact figure), which tax checks were shown or opened, and a random session ID kept in your browser’s session storage until you close the tab. If you choose “Essential Only”, none of this is sent.

Cookies

The Salary Calc itself does not set any first-party cookies. However, the third-party services we use may set cookies on your device:
