1. Introduction
Welcome to UKSalaryCalculate.co.uk ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website and use our take-home pay calculators.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK-GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we operate as a Data Controller for any basic analytical data generated during your visit.
2. Calculator Data Privacy (Stateless Processing)
Important Trust Notice: All calculations, salary data, tax code adjustments, and deductions entered into our calculators are processed entirely locally inside your web browser using client-side scripts.
We do not collect, transmit, store, or share any salary figures, benefit quantities, or pension details you input. Once you close the calculator browser tab or clear your session, your inputs are instantly discarded.
No Financial Tracking
Your salary bracket checks are completely private. We never link salary inputs to IP addresses or individual user accounts.
3. Data We May Collect
When you browse our website, we may collect minimal, non-personally identifiable information through functional logging and basic web analytics:
- Usage Details: Anonymized pages visited, time spent, browser type, and referrer URL.
- Device Information: General device configuration (mobile, desktop, tablet) to optimize performance.
- Contact Data: If you voluntarily reach out via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
We utilize small data files to enhance your user experience:
- Local Storage: Used to temporarily cache your calculator inputs locally so that refreshing the page does not wipe your configurations.
- Analytical Cookies: Anonymized visitor counts to measure website performance.
You can block or disable cookies/local storage at any time via your browser settings without affecting the basic computation functionality of our tools.
5. Third-Party Links
Our articles and calculators contain outgoing links to official government sources (such as HMRC and Gov.uk) for user verification. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies when leaving our site.
6. Your Rights
Under UK privacy law, you hold several key rights including the right to request access, correction, or erasure of any contact details you submit to us. Since we do not store calculator data or user accounts, we hold no personal financial data to query or delete.
