Privacy Policy
This policy explains how SalaryHub may collect, use and protect information when you use our website, calculators and related services.
Who we are
SalaryHub is a UK-focused salary, tax and pay calculator website. References to “SalaryHub”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the operator of this website.
Information we may collect
We may collect information that you provide directly, such as details submitted through contact forms or emails.
We may also collect technical and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, approximate location, referral source and interactions with calculators or website features.
Calculator inputs
When you use our calculators, the figures you enter may be processed to generate results. Calculator URLs may include query parameters, such as salary, tax year, pension percentage or employment type, so you should avoid sharing calculator links if they contain information you consider private.
We do not require you to create an account to use our calculators.
How we use information
We may use information to operate the website, provide calculator results, respond to enquiries, improve our content, monitor performance, prevent misuse, analyse traffic, display advertising, measure advert performance and comply with legal obligations.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use SalaryHub and improve the website. Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies, subject to your cookie choices where required.
Advertising
We may use advertising services, such as Google AdSense or other advertising networks. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to display, personalise or measure ads, subject to your cookie choices where required.
Affiliate links
SalaryHub may include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link, the third-party website or affiliate network may collect information about your visit in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use essential cookies that are necessary for the website to work properly, such as security, preference or consent-management cookies.
We may also use non-essential cookies for analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking or improving the user experience. Where required, these will only be used with your consent.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings or any cookie preference tools provided on the website.
Legal bases for processing
Depending on the context, we may process personal data because it is necessary for our legitimate interests, to provide a service you request, to comply with legal obligations, or because you have given consent.
Sharing information
We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate SalaryHub, including hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, affiliate networks, email providers or technical support providers.
We may also share information where required by law, regulation, legal process or to protect our rights, users or website.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards should be used by those providers where required by data protection law.
Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the website, responding to enquiries, maintaining records, analysing performance, preventing misuse and meeting legal obligations.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how your personal data is handled.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children
SalaryHub is not aimed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.
