Privacy Policy

How NHS Take-Home Pay handles data — with a focus on client-side calculator processing, cookies, analytics, and your UK GDPR rights.

Last updated: 26 July 2026 UK GDPR aligned Calculations stay on your device
Critical privacy rule

All salary, tax, and pension calculators on this site run in your browser. We do not log, store, transmit, or share the pay figures, NI details, or pension choices you enter. Those inputs stay on your device.

1. Our Commitment to Financial Data Privacy

At NHS Take-Home Pay (nhstakehomepay.co.uk), we prioritise the security and privacy of our visitors. As a provider of NHS salary, pension, tax, and benefits calculators, we recognise that pay figures are sensitive.

Calculator widgets and salary projection models execute entirely within your browser (client-side processing). We do not collect personal salary data from calculator sessions.

2. Types of Data We Process

A. Technical Log Files

Like most websites, we use standard server log files. These may include IP addresses, browser type, ISP, date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and anonymous click counts. This information is used for diagnostics, security, and traffic administration, and is not linked to personally identifiable financial details.

B. Analytics and Performance

We use anonymous web analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate page views, time on page, approximate location (country/city), and device types. Individual calculator inputs are not captured by these tools.

3. Cookies and Advertising

We use cookies to store preferences (for example theme), support navigation, and help pages and widgets load correctly. You can manage cookies via your browser settings or our cookie controls where available.

Google Advertising Cookies

If ads are shown on the site, Google (or similar partners) may use cookies to serve contextual advertising based on visits to this site and others. You can learn more and opt out via Google’s Ad Settings / Ads & Content Network privacy controls.

4. UK GDPR and Your Rights

Under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (incorporating UK GDPR principles), you may have rights including:

  • Requesting access to technical logs associated with your IP where held
  • Requesting erasure of cookie histories / local browser data you control
  • Objecting to anonymous analytical processing of site sessions

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

5. Security of Financial Calculations

We use HTTPS across all pages. Because calculations run in your browser, closing tabs after use on shared or public devices helps clear active session memory. Always verify important figures with your NHS payroll department.
