This Privacy Policy explains how [Your Site Name] ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use [yourdomain.co.uk] and the NHS Maternity Pay Calculator.
Calculator inputs. The figures you enter into the calculator — such as salary, hours, region, and due date — are processed in your browser to produce your estimate. They are not required to identify you, and we do not ask for your name, NHS number, or employer within the calculator.
Contact details. If you contact us, we receive the name, email address, and message content you choose to send.
Usage data. Like most websites, we may collect standard technical information such as browser type, device, pages visited, and approximate location (from your IP address), typically via analytics cookies where you consent to them.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your contact details for marketing.
We may use essential cookies needed for the site to function, and, with your consent, analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings and any cookie banner shown on the site.
Where UK GDPR applies, we rely on legitimate interests (operating and improving the site, responding to enquiries) and consent (non-essential cookies) as our legal bases for processing.
We may share information with service providers who help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics providers), under appropriate safeguards, or where required by law. We do not share your information with anyone for their own marketing purposes.
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. Analytics data is retained in line with the retention settings of our analytics provider.
Under UK data protection law you have rights including access to your personal data, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability. To exercise any of these, contact us via our Contact page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
This site is intended for adults planning their maternity pay and is not directed at children.
Our site links to third-party websites such as gov.uk. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites — please review their own policies.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows when it was last revised.
