Privacy Policy

Summary

This website collects very little information, and it is worth saying so clearly at the top rather than making you read to the end.

• Calculator inputs never leave your device Your salary, sacrifice amount and other figures are processed entirely in your own browser. They are not sent to this website, not stored, and not visible to anyone operating this site.
• No analytics This website does not use Google Analytics or any other analytics or visitor-tracking service.
• No advertising This website does not display advertising and does not use advertising or profiling cookies.
• No accounts There is no sign-up, no login and no newsletter. You can use the whole site without providing any personal information.

Who we are

This privacy policy applies to the website salary-sacrifice-calculator.co.uk. For the purposes of UK data protection law, the operator of this website is the data controller for any personal data described below.

You can reach us using the details in the Contact section at the end of this policy.

Calculator inputs

The salary sacrifice calculator runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. When you enter a salary, a sacrifice amount, a tax region or any other figure, that information is processed on your own device.

In practical terms this means:

• Your figures are not transmitted to this website or to any server
• They are not saved, logged or stored anywhere by us
• They are not shared with any third party
• When you close or reload the page, they are gone

Contact form data

The form on our contact page is not currently connected to any message-handling service. Submissions are not received, transmitted or stored, and the page states this clearly. If you use the form at present, your message does not reach us.

When the form is activated, this policy will be updated to describe what is collected, why, on what lawful basis, and how long it is kept. Until then, no contact form data is processed.

Server logs and hosting

Like almost all websites, this site is delivered by a web host, and web servers routinely keep technical logs of requests they receive. These logs are generated by the hosting infrastructure rather than by us, and typically include:

• The IP address making the request
• The date and time of the request
• The page or file requested
• The browser and operating system reported by your device

An IP address can be personal data under UK law. Logs of this kind are kept for security, troubleshooting and to keep the service running reliably. The lawful basis is our legitimate interests in maintaining and protecting the website. We do not use these logs to build a profile of you, to track you across websites, or for marketing.

Retention of server logs is determined by the hosting provider’s own configuration and is typically short, generally a matter of days or weeks rather than years.

Cookies

This website does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies or tracking cookies. The only cookies that may be set are strictly necessary cookies used by the underlying website software for the site to function correctly, for example when a site administrator signs in to manage the website.

Full detail is set out in our Cookie Policy.

Third-party services

We keep the number of third parties involved in this website deliberately small.

If any of these change, this policy and the Cookie Policy will be updated before the change takes effect.

Links to other websites

Some pages link to external websites, including GOV.UK, so you can read official guidance at source. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any other website. Once you follow a link away from this site, this policy no longer applies, and you should read the privacy policy of the site you have moved to.

Children

This website is aimed at working adults considering a salary sacrifice arrangement. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have rights over personal data relating to you. These include the right to be informed, to access your data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data erased in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability.

In practice, this website holds almost nothing about you. Your calculator inputs are never received by us, and there is currently no contact form data. That means for most visitors there is no personal data on our side to access, correct or erase, beyond any technical server logs held by the hosting provider.

You can still exercise your rights by contacting us, and we will respond within the timescales required by law. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the website changes, for example if analytics, advertising or a working contact form are introduced. When that happens, the “last updated” date at the top of this page will change and the description of what is collected will be revised to match what the website actually does.

For any question about this privacy policy or about data protection, you can email us at [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL].
