At CalcMyPay ("we", "us", "our"), your privacy matters. This policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and your rights. By using calcmypay.co.za (the "Site"), you agree to this policy.
The short version
Our calculators and tools run entirely in your browser. The financial figures you enter — your salary, expenses, debt, savings and so on — are never sent to our servers and are never stored by us. When you close or refresh the page, that data is gone.
Information we collect
Information you enter into calculators: This is processed locally on your device to show your results. We do not transmit, save, or have any access to these numbers.
Automatically collected information: Like most websites, we may collect standard analytics such as your approximate location (country/region), browser type, device type, pages visited and time on site. This is aggregated and anonymous, used only to understand how the Site is used and improve it.
Cookies: We use cookies to support analytics and advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this Site.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
Third-party services
We may use third-party services including Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We do not control and are not responsible for their practices.
Data security
Because your financial inputs never leave your device, there is no financial data on our servers to be compromised. For the limited analytics data we do collect, we take reasonable measures to protect it.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), you have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct or object to its processing. As we collect minimal personal data, these mostly relate to analytics and advertising cookies, which you control through your browser and the opt-out links above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
