Privacy at TruePay UK
The short version: the calculator runs entirely in your browser, we set no cookies, and we don't collect any personal data. Here's the detail.
Your figures never leave your device
Every calculation on this site runs entirely in your browser. The salary, tax code, pension and other details you enter are used to work out your take-home pay on your own device and are never sent to our servers. We don’t store them, log them, or see them.
The one thing to be aware of: our “share this result” links put the figures you entered into the web address itself, so that the link reopens with the same numbers. If you share that link, whoever you send it to can see those figures — so treat a share link like the numbers it contains.
No cookies
TruePay UK sets no cookies — which is why you’ll never see a cookie banner here. We don’t track you across sites, build a profile, or run advertising.
Privacy-friendly analytics
To understand which pages are useful, we use Plausible Analytics — a privacy-first tool that:
- sets no cookies and uses no persistent identifiers;
- collects only aggregated, anonymous data (page views, referrer, country, device type);
- never collects personal data and can’t identify you;
- stores its data within the EU and is designed to comply with UK GDPR and PECR.
Hosting and server logs
Like almost every website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (including IP addresses) for security and reliability. These are held by the host and used only to keep the site running and protect it from abuse — not for tracking or marketing.
Links to gov.uk and other sites
We link out to official gov.uk pages and, occasionally, other sites. Once you follow a link, you’re subject to that site’s own privacy policy — we can’t control what other sites do.
Your rights and contact
Because we don’t collect or store personal data, there’s nothing for us to look up, correct or delete about you. If you have any question about privacy on this site, get in touch. This policy is governed by UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
