How we handle your data

Last updated: August 2026

No Personal Data Collection

wagecheck does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. All salary calculations, stamp duty estimates and tax computations happen entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your salary figures, pension contributions, student loan plans and other inputs never leave your device.

We do not use cookies to track you personally. The only cookies on this site are set by Google Analytics (see below) and can be managed through our cookie consent banner.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which calculators are most popular and how many people visit each page. GA4 anonymises your IP address and does not store personally identifying information.

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users, aggregate usage data, and improve site performance. You can opt out of GA4 tracking entirely by declining analytics cookies in our consent banner, or by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

wagecheck displays advertisements through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. This allows Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on your interests.

You can manage your advertising preferences through our cookie consent banner, or visit Google Ad Settings to opt out of personalised advertising.

Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access — request a copy of any data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure — request deletion of your data
  • Right to restrict processing — request limitation of how your data is used
  • Right to object — object to processing of your data for specific purposes

Since we do not collect personal data directly, most of these rights relate to data processed by third-party services such as Google Analytics. You can exercise your rights by contacting us or by managing your preferences directly with Google.
