Privacy
The short version: this site has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics and no tracking of individuals, and the calculators never send your figures anywhere. The longer version says exactly what that means and where the exceptions are.
Your pay never leaves your browser
Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your own browser. When you type a salary, a spinal column point or your hours, that information is used to work out a figure on your own device and is then gone. It is not sent to us, not written into the web address, not saved, and not logged. There is no server to send it to: the site is a set of static files.
This is why the take-home calculator has no shareable link. A link that carried your salary would put it in your browser history, in the address bar over your shoulder, and in the logs of anyone you sent it to. We would rather lose the feature.
What is stored on your device
One thing: if you choose Light or Dark, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage
so the site does not flash the wrong colours next time. It is the single word
light or dark. It never leaves your device, and clearing your
browser data removes it. Leaving the theme on Auto stores nothing at all.
What we do not do
- No analytics. No Google Analytics, no page-view counter, no heatmaps, no session recording.
- No accounts, no newsletter, no forms that submit anywhere.
- No first-party cookies. The site sets none.
- No selling or sharing of personal data, because none is collected to sell.
- No embedded third-party content — no fonts loaded from elsewhere, no maps, no video players, no social widgets. Everything the page needs comes from this domain.
Links to other sites
Every figure here is traced to a published document, and those links point at other people's websites — NHS Employers, gov.uk, the Scottish Government, councils and unions. Following one takes you somewhere with its own privacy practices, which we do not control. We link to sources so you can check us; we do not embed anything from them.
Advertising
There is currently no advertising on this site, and no advertising code is loaded. If that changes, ads will be served by Google, which sets cookies — and they will not load until you have agreed to them. This page and the cookies page will be updated before any of it goes live, not after.
Your rights
UK GDPR gives you rights over personal data held about you — to see it, correct it, have it deleted, and to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. We hold none, so there is nothing to show you or delete. If you believe otherwise, write to hello@workterms.co.uk and we will look into it.
Where advertising is running, the data involved is held by Google rather than by us, and Google's own privacy policy and controls apply to it.
Changes to this page
If what the site does changes, this page changes first. It carries the date it was last updated at the top, and material changes are also recorded in the corrections log so there is a dated trail rather than a quietly edited page.
Questions: hello@workterms.co.uk. More about who runs this site is on the about page.
