Privacy Policy
Last updated
This Privacy Policy explains how settingbusiness.co.uk ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website and use our calculators. We keep this simple because our data practices are simple: our calculators run in your browser, and the figures you type into them are not sent to us or stored by us.
Section 1
Who We Are
settingbusiness.co.uk provides free UK tax calculators. For any privacy questions or requests, contact us at [contact email address].
Section 2
What We Collect
Calculator inputs: nothing
Salaries, profits, dates, and other figures you enter are processed entirely within your browser. We do not receive, store, or see them.
Usage data
Like most websites, we collect standard technical data through cookies and similar technologies: pages visited, approximate location (country or city level), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. See our Cookie Policy for the full details.
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message, and we use it only to reply and improve the site.
Section 3
Advertising and Google AdSense
We display advertising served by Google AdSense to keep the site free. You should know exactly what that involves:
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings, and you can opt out of many other third-party vendors' personalised ads at www.aboutads.info/choices.
If you are in the UK or EEA, we ask for your consent before advertising cookies are set through the consent banner shown on your first visit. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in the site footer.
Google's own practices are shown and described in Google's Privacy and Terms pages at policies.google.com. We do not control the ads shown, and an advertisement on our pages is not an endorsement by us.
Section 4
Analytics
We use analytics cookies to understand which calculators people find useful, measured in aggregate. This data does not identify you personally and is used only to improve the site.
Section 5
Legal Bases for Processing
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), we rely on:
Consent
For advertising and analytics cookies, which you give or refuse through the consent banner.
Legitimate interests
For essential site operation, security, and responding to messages you send us.
Section 7
Retention
Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to deal with your query. Cookie lifetimes are listed in our Cookie Policy, and analytics data is retained in aggregate form.
Section 8
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your data
- Correct it
- Delete it
- Restrict processing
- Object to processing
- Data portability
Because we hold almost nothing, most requests are quick. Contact us at [contact email address], and we will respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.
Section 9
Children
This website provides tax and financial calculators and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.
Section 10
Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy, the new version appears on this page with an updated date. Significant changes will be flagged on the site.
