Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Calculators.Finance ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you use our website at calculators.finance. We are committed to compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who we are

Calculators.Finance is a UK-based website providing free financial calculation tools. For data protection enquiries, contact us at hello@calculators.finance.

2. What data we collect

2a. Calculator inputs

We do not store any financial data you enter into our calculators. All calculations are performed entirely in your browser (client-side JavaScript). No salary figures, pension amounts, property prices or other financial inputs are transmitted to our servers.

2b. Analytics data

We do not currently run any analytics service on this site. If we enable one in future (for example Google Analytics), it will only run after you consent via the cookie banner described below, and this policy will be updated first.

2c. Advertising data

We display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Ads and any related cookies only load after you give consent through the cookie banner described below. Google may use cookies to show personalised ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or via the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

3. Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: set by our consent management platform to remember your cookie preference.
• Advertising cookies: set by Google AdSense to serve relevant advertisements (only with your consent).

Full details are in our Cookie Policy. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the "Manage Cookies" link in the footer of any page.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process advertising data based on your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), collected via our consent management platform on your first visit. You may withdraw consent at any time. We do not process your data under legitimate interests for advertising purposes.

5. Data retention

We do not retain any financial inputs you enter. Advertising cookie retention is set by Google AdSense (typically up to 13 months) — see our Cookie Policy for details. Your consent preference is retained by our consent management platform until you change it.

6. Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data
• Restriction — request we limit how we process your data
• Withdraw consent — at any time, using the "Manage Cookies" link in the footer
• Lodge a complaint — with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk

As we hold minimal personal data, most data subject requests can be fulfilled by withdrawing consent via the footer link. For other requests, email hello@calculators.finance.

7. Third-party services

This site loads resources from:

• Google Fonts — font files served by Google. See Google Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense — advertising, only after consent. Subject to Google's advertising policies.
• Our consent management platform — records and enforces your cookie consent choice, and is required by Google to serve ads compliantly to users in the UK/EEA.

We do not sell your data to any third party, and do not share identifiable data outside the services listed above.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when we add new features or when legal requirements change. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
