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. Advertising — Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites across the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your interests. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Google AdSense may collect and use data in accordance with its own privacy policy. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

6. Cookies

This site uses cookies in two contexts: (a) Google AdSense advertising cookies, which may be set by Google to personalise ads shown to you (see section 5 above); and (b) standard session and preference cookies used by the website itself. We do not set marketing or tracking cookies of our own beyond what Google AdSense may require. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

7. 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.

8. 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. We also use Google AdSense (see section 5). No social media tracking pixels or affiliate tracking scripts are used on this site.

9. 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. Google AdSense is configured to serve only non-personalised ads on pages that may be visited by children.

10. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection legislation, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate personal data
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise these rights, please contact us via our contact page.

11. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and are not stored in a database. Anonymised analytics data is retained for up to 24 months. We do not retain data entered into our calculators — all calculations happen in your browser and nothing is sent to our servers.

12. 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.
