This Privacy Policy explains how Salary Take Home UK (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website.

1. What Data We Collect

Calculator Data

We do not collect, store, or transmit any salary figures, personal details, or other information you enter into the calculator. All calculations are performed entirely within your browser. No data is sent to our servers.

Google Analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymised usage data — such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (country/region level). IP addresses are anonymised. This data helps us understand how the website is used and improve it over time. See Google's Privacy Policy for details of how Google processes this data.

Google AdSense

With your consent, we display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

Where we process data via analytics or advertising cookies, we do so on the basis of your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and declining when the cookie banner next appears.

3. Cookies

We use cookies for analytics and advertising purposes (with your consent) and a strictly necessary cookie to store your consent preference. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

4. Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months by default. Consent preference cookies are stored for 12 months and renewed each time you revisit the site and reconfirm your choice.

5. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
Erasure — request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond within 30 days.

Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) as the legal safeguard for these transfers.
