Privacy Policy: Zero-Tracking & Local Data Protection
Pay Calculator Australia operates on a strict zero-retention architecture where all salary inputs, tax deductions, and financial calculations execute exclusively in your local browser memory.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect names, tax file numbers (TFN), bank details, exact salary contracts, employer identities, or any identifying financial metrics. When you interact with our salary slider or archetype buttons, the calculations run entirely inside your browser's JavaScript engine.
2. Deep-Link URL State Storage
When you use the share link button, calculation parameters (such as ?salary=98500) are encoded into the URL hash or query string. This is executed strictly via local window.history.replaceState and is never logged on our hosting edge servers.
3. Compliance with Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
Pay Calculator Australia complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and adheres strictly to the Australian Privacy Principles regarding minimal data collection, non-retention, and transparent disclosure.
4. GDPR & ePrivacy Compliant Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We deploy Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-RT29TEYC0Q) exclusively under Google Consent Mode v2 with IP anonymization enabled. Analytics storage is strictly disabled by default until you grant informed consent via our consent banner. No personal salary inputs, tax calculations, or personally identifiable metrics are ever recorded or transmitted to analytics services. You can adjust your consent settings at any time using the Cookie Preferences control in our footer.
