1. Zero Server-Side Financial Data Collection
Unlike traditional web services that submit form inputs to external API servers, our salary calculation engine executes 100% locally using client-side JavaScript. When you input your gross salary, tax code, pension contribution, or student loan tier into any tool on uksalarycalculator.online:
- Your numeric salary inputs are never transmitted over the network to our servers.
- We do not record, store, or log your earnings figures, tax liabilities, or employer details in any database.
- No server-side user session profiles or financial credit profiles are generated.
2. Browser Local Storage Policy
To enhance convenience during repeated visits, the application may save your non-sensitive calculator preferences (such as selected tax year or preferred pension percentage) directly to your web browser's local key-value store (localStorage) under the key salary_state.
This data remains strictly on your device. You can clear this cached state at any time by clicking the "Reset Baseline" action in the tool menu or by clearing your browser cache.
3. UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018 Compliance
We strictly adhere to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Because we collect zero personally identifiable financial data (PII), we act as a privacy-by-design utility.
Any basic technical network telemetry (such as standard web server request logs containing client IP addresses and user agents) is recorded solely for infrastructure stability, DDoS mitigation, and Cloudflare Pages edge delivery, retained for no longer than 30 days, and never correlated with financial calculation data.
4. Third-Party Analytics & Cookies
Our platform does not sell user data or share personal information with third-party advertising brokers or credit rating agencies. Any measurement tools implemented strictly observe Google Consent Mode v2 standards, ensuring that non-essential analytical cookies remain dormant until explicit user consent is granted.
5. Contact & Data Governance Inquiries

6. Artificial Intelligence Transparency & EU AI Act Compliance
