Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

This privacy policy explains how Wagewell (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use wagewell.co.uk. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

Who we are

Wagewell is a free UK salary and income calculator website. We do not sell products, operate user accounts, or process payments. The site is operated as an independent project based in the United Kingdom.

What data we collect

Wagewell does not collect any personal information directly. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other identifying details. All calculations happen in your browser — no salary figures or inputs are transmitted to or stored on our servers.

If you give consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage data, including:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • General geographic location (country or region level only)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • How you arrived at the site (search engine, direct, referral)

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. We use it solely to understand how people use Wagewell and to improve the site.

Cookies

We use a single first-party cookie to remember your consent choice (wagewell_cookie_consent), stored in your browser’s local storage.

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics sets additional cookies to distinguish users and sessions. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information. You can decline analytics at any time using the cookie banner, or clear your browser cookies to reset your preference.

Google AdSense may also set cookies to serve relevant advertisements. These are third-party cookies governed by Google’s own privacy policy.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data:

  • Google Analytics 4 — website analytics. Only loaded with your consent. Google Privacy Policy
  • Google AdSense — display advertising. May set cookies independently of your analytics consent. Google Privacy Policy

We do not sell data to any third parties or use data for any purpose beyond improving the site.

Your rights under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to any personal data we hold:

  • Right to access — you can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to erasure — you can ask us to delete any personal data we hold.
  • Right to object — you can object to the processing of your data, including for analytics purposes.
  • Right to withdraw consent — you can withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time by declining in the cookie banner or clearing your browser storage.

Because we do not collect personal data directly, most of these rights are most relevant to data held by our third-party service providers. You can exercise your rights with Google directly via your Google account settings or by contacting Google.

If you have a complaint about how we handle data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
