Privacy Policy

Your Calculator Data

All calculations performed by the UK Maternity Pay Calculator happen entirely within your web browser. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any of the financial information you enter into the calculator.

If you use the "save" feature, your inputs are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most popular and how long visitors spend on the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects anonymised usage data. It does not collect any personal financial information entered into the calculator.

Analytics tracking is subject to your consent preferences. You can manage your preferences at any time using the "Manage privacy" link in the footer.

Advertising

We display advertisements via Google AdSense to help fund this free service. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites. Personalised advertising is subject to your consent.

If you decline consent for personalised ads, Google will serve limited, non-personalised ads instead. The calculator's functionality is not affected by your ad preferences.

Contact Form

Our contact form is powered by EmailJS. When you submit a message, your name, email address, and message content are sent directly to our email inbox via EmailJS's servers. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not store contact form submissions in any database.

Cookies

We use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage cookie consent. Essential cookies required for the website to function are always active. Analytics and advertising cookies are only activated after you give your consent.

Your Rights

You have the right to manage your privacy preferences at any time using the "Manage privacy" link in the footer. You can also clear your browser's local storage to remove any saved calculator data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
