Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

SalaryCalc.online ("we", "our", or "the site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Salary inputs: When you use our salary calculator, you enter figures such as your annual salary, tax regime preference, and deduction amounts. This data is processed entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or retain any salary figures you enter. Nothing you type into the calculator is sent to our servers.

Usage data: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This includes pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/city level). This data is anonymised and aggregated — we cannot identify individual users.

Cookies: Google Analytics and Google AdSense place cookies on your device to track usage and serve personalised advertisements. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

2. How We Use Your Information

To understand site traffic and improve our content
To serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
To analyse which features and pages are most useful to visitors

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage statistics. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

4. Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

5. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

6. Children's Privacy

SalaryCalc.online is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such information.

7. Data Retention

Since we do not collect or store any salary data you enter, there is no personal salary data to retain or delete. Analytics data collected by Google is retained according to Google's own data retention policies.

8. Your Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have the following rights under GDPR:

Right to access — request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data
Right to object — object to processing of your data for analytics or advertising
Right to withdraw consent — withdraw consent for cookies at any time via browser settings

Since we do not collect personally identifiable salary data, the primary mechanism for exercising these rights is through your browser's cookie settings or the Google opt-out tools listed above.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email below.
