Privacy Policy
Transparent and straightforward privacy policy for SalaryInflationCalculator.com — what we collect, what we never collect, and how your privacy is guarded.
This policy explains how SalaryInflationCalculator.com handles data. The site is owned and run by Shakeel Lodhi, referred to here as "we" or "us". It explains what data is processed, why it is needed and what choices you have.
1. What We Collect
- Standard Server Logs: Our hosting and content delivery providers automatically record basic technical data (such as IP address, browser user-agent, requested page and timestamp). These logs are used only for security, abuse and DDoS protection, and to keep the site stable.
- Aggregate, Anonymous Statistics: We may use privacy-friendly, cookie-free statistics that count page views in aggregate to understand which pages are useful. These statistics do not identify you and are never combined with calculator inputs.
- Contact Information: Only when you choose to contact us — your name, email address, inquiry type and message — so we can reply.
2. What We NEVER Collect or Store
Your salary, raise rates, time span and custom inflation inputs are processed in your browser using JavaScript. They are not sent to, saved by or logged on our servers or third-party servers.
3. Cookies & Tracking
The website itself does not set advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking cookies, and does not use tracking pixels. The calculator functions completely without requiring login, registration, or cookie permissions. If we ever introduce cookies that require consent, we will ask for it first and update this policy.
4. Third-Party Services
We rely on a small number of service providers, each of which receives only the data needed for its job:
- Hosting and CDN providers deliver the website's static files and keep the server logs described above.
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com) serves the typefaces used on the site. Your browser requests the font files directly from Google, which receives your IP address and browser details. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- FormSubmit (formsubmit.co) relays messages sent through our contact form to our inbox. It processes the details you type into the form. See FormSubmit's website for its privacy terms.
We do not sell, rent or share personal information with advertisers or data brokers.
5. Legal Basis & Retention
Server logs are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a secure website and are kept only as long as our providers' standard retention periods. Contact messages are processed to answer your request and are deleted once they are no longer needed, normally within 12 months of our last exchange, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
6. Your Legal Rights (GDPR, UK GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
- ask us to correct or delete it;
- object to or restrict how we process it;
- know that we do not sell or share personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights;
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
7. Privacy Requests & Contact
To make a privacy request, email support@salaryinflationcalculator.com or use our contact form and choose "Privacy Request". We respond within 30 days and may ask you to confirm your email address before acting on a request.
8. Children's Privacy
The website is intended for adults managing their own pay and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Policy Updates
We may occasionally update this policy to reflect operational improvements or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted directly to this page with the revision date below.
