Privacy policy
What Calcbase collects, what it does not, and what happens to anything you send us.
The short version
The calculators collect nothing. Every calculation runs in your browser and no figure you type is sent to us or stored anywhere.
The only personal information we hold is what you choose to send through the contact form.
We do not sell or share your information, and we do not add you to a mailing list.
Who is responsible
Digevo Limited (company number 16415485), registered in England and Wales, is the data controller for calcbase.co.uk. You can reach us at hello@calcbase.co.uk.
Using the calculators
Salaries, deposits, budgets and every other figure you enter stay in your browser. They are never transmitted to our server, never written to a database, and disappear when you close the tab.
There is no account, no login, and nothing to sign up for.
The contact form
If you write to us we collect your name and email address, plus whatever you put in the message, and for advertising enquiries your company name and website.
We use it for one thing: replying to you. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests, specifically answering someone who has deliberately contacted us.
Messages arrive in our mailbox and a copy is written to a protected file on the server so nothing is lost if email fails. We delete both once the matter is closed, and in any case within 24 months.
The form uses a hidden field and a timing check to filter automated spam. Neither collects anything about you.
Cookies and tracking
Calcbase sets no cookies of any kind, and stores nothing on your device. There is no advertising or analytics cookie, no local storage, and no fingerprinting.
Because nothing is stored on your device, there is no consent banner to click through. If that ever changes, a banner will appear and this page will be updated before it does.
How we count visits
We keep a count of how many times each page is loaded, so we can tell which calculators people find useful and which are not working. This runs on our own server and the data never leaves it.
What we record: the page address, the date and time, and the domain that referred you, for example google.com. We record the domain only, never the full referring address, because that can contain what you searched for.
What we do not record: your IP address, any identifier, anything about your device, or any figure you type into a calculator. There is no way for us to tell one visitor from another, or to follow anyone between pages.
A small script also tells us that a page was opened by a real browser rather than an automated crawler, and roughly how long the page was open. It stores nothing on your device and sends nothing that identifies you.
The result is a set of counts, such as "this page was loaded 412 times last week". Because those counts are not linked to any person, they are not personal data.
Third parties
The site loads no third-party fonts, scripts, trackers or embeds. Typefaces are served from our own server, and our visit counting is our own, so no outside company sees your visit or receives any data about it.
Our hosting is provided by Hostinger, which processes data on our behalf and keeps standard server logs.
Server logs
Our host keeps automatic access logs containing IP addresses, timestamps, requested pages and browser type. These exist for security and diagnosing faults, are not linked to any individual by us, and are retained on the host's standard schedule.
Where your information is held
Enquiry data is stored on servers within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area.
Your rights
You have the right to ask what we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive a copy of it.
Write to hello@calcbase.co.uk and we will respond within one month. There is no charge.
If you are not satisfied with our response you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or by phone on 0303 123 1113.
Children
Calcbase is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
