Privacy by design: salary figures and calculator settings are intended to be processed locally on your device. Take Home UK does not require an account for the core calculator.
1. Who we are
“Take Home UK”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the developer and operator of the Take Home UK salary calculator. You can contact us through the support contact shown in the app, the App Store or Google Play listing.
2. Information used by the calculator
The app may process information you enter, such as salary, working hours, pension contribution, pension type, tax region, Student Loan plan, National Insurance preference, age band, comparison salary and display currency. This information is used to produce your calculation.
These calculator inputs are designed to remain on your device and are not used to identify you.
3. Information we may receive
Support communications
When you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, message, screenshots and any diagnostic information you choose to provide. We use this information to answer your request and troubleshoot issues.
App-store and platform information
Apple or Google may provide aggregated installation, crash, performance and purchase information under their own privacy terms. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
Website technical data
Our hosting provider may temporarily process IP addresses, browser information, request timestamps and security logs to deliver and protect this website.
Website analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, such as the pages viewed, browser and device information, approximate location inferred from IP address and interactions with the site. Google may process this information on our behalf under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not load Google Analytics unless you select “Accept analytics” in our cookie notice, and you can withdraw your choice at any time using “Cookie preferences”.
4. Live currency conversion
When live conversion is enabled, the app may request current exchange-rate data from a third-party rate source. The request may reveal normal technical data such as your IP address to that provider, but your complete salary calculation should not be sent as part of the request. Currency results are indicative and can differ from bank or card-provider rates.
5. How we use information
- Provide and improve the calculator and website.
- Understand website usage through analytics where you have consented.
- Respond to support requests.
- Diagnose crashes, security problems and technical faults.
- Meet legal obligations and enforce our terms.
6. Legal bases
Where UK data-protection law applies, we rely on performance of a contract to provide requested services, legitimate interests to maintain and secure the app, consent for website analytics, and compliance with legal obligations.
7. Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Where you consent to analytics, information may be shared with Google Analytics. We may also share limited information with hosting, app-store, crash-reporting, support or exchange-rate providers where necessary to operate the service; with professional advisers under confidentiality; or where required by law.
8. Retention
Calculator inputs stored locally remain until you change them, clear the app data or uninstall the app. Support messages and technical records are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for support, security, accounting or legal purposes.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards. No mobile application, device or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
10. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK residents may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, request portability, and withdraw consent. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Contact us through the support details in the app or store listing to exercise a right.
11. Children
Take Home UK is a general salary-estimation tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children.
12. International processing
Some platform or service providers may process technical information outside the United Kingdom. Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used.
13. Changes
We may update this policy when the app, providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published here with a revised date.
14. Contact
Use the support contact displayed within Take Home UK or on its official App Store or Google Play listing. Before publication, the operator should also add its legal name, postal address and privacy email address here.
