Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Family Benefits Calculator ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit familybenefitscalculator.com, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

All calculations performed on this website happen entirely within your browser. We do not receive, store, transmit or process any data you enter into the calculators (such as dates, ages, weights, heights, or numbers of children). This information never leaves your device.

3. Information We May Collect Automatically

When you visit Family Benefits Calculator, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools may collect standard technical information, including:

• Your IP address (typically anonymised)
• Browser type and version
• The pages you visit on this site
• The time and date of your visit
• Referring URL (the site that brought you here)

This information is used only to understand how the site is used in aggregate and to improve the service. It is not used to identify individual visitors.

4. Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies and does not track individuals across websites. Plausible aggregates data at a site level and does not allow us to identify individual visitors. For more information, see plausible.io/privacy.

5. Cookies

Family Benefits Calculator does not use tracking cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or any cookies that track your behaviour across other websites. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Contact Form

If you submit a message through our contact form, we will collect your name, email address and the contents of your message solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not add you to mailing lists or share this information with third parties.

7. Third-Party Services

This site uses Google Fonts to serve the Inter and Playfair Display typefaces. When the page loads, your browser may connect to Google's servers to download these fonts. See Google's privacy policy for more information. We do not use any advertising networks, social media tracking pixels or affiliate tracking.

8. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for use by adults (parents and carers). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age.

9. Your Rights

Because we collect minimal personal data, there is little to request. However, you have the right to:

• Request confirmation of what personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of any personal data we hold (such as a contact enquiry)
• Object to or restrict our use of your data

To exercise these rights, please use the contact form.

10. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry. Anonymised analytics data is retained for up to 24 months.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
