UK Take Home Pay (“we”, “our”, “the site”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law.
Calculator Data
We do not collect your salary data. All tax calculations are performed entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. When you enter a salary, pension contribution, or student loan plan, that information stays on your device. No salary figures are transmitted to our servers or any third party.
Information We Collect
We collect limited, anonymised data through third-party services to understand how our site is used and to fund its operation:
- Google Analytics (GA4) — collects anonymous usage data including pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, and approximate geographic location. No personally identifiable information is collected. Measurement ID: G-4J5LR2XG47.
- Google AdSense — serves advertisements on our pages. AdSense may use cookies to personalise ads based on your browsing activity across other websites. Publisher ID: ca-pub-3386521791549695.
- Google Fonts — loads typefaces (DM Serif Display, DM Sans, JetBrains Mono) from Google servers, which may log your IP address in accordance with Google’s privacy policy.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These are used to:
- Distinguish unique visitors and sessions (Analytics)
- Serve relevant advertisements (AdSense)
- Remember your cookie consent preferences
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of our calculators, as they do not rely on cookies to operate.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics Privacy Policy
- Google AdSense Advertising Policies
- Netlify Privacy Policy (our hosting provider)
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to processing of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
Since we do not collect personal data directly (all analytics are anonymised and managed by Google), most of these rights are exercised through Google’s account settings.
Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
