Privacy Policy
How the Online Gratuity Calculator collects, uses, and protects your information.
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Online Gratuity Calculator, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in line with this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
Who we are
The Online Gratuity Calculator (“we”, “us”, or “our”) provides a free end-of-service and final settlement calculator, along with related guides, for employees and HR teams in the UAE. This policy applies to this website and the tools offered on it.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:
| Type of information | Examples | How it is collected |
|---|---|---|
| Usage data | Pages viewed, time on page, referring website, approximate location | Automatically, via analytics tools |
| Device data | Browser type, device type, operating system, screen size | Automatically, via your browser |
| Cookie data | Preferences such as light or dark mode, session identifiers | Cookies and local storage |
| Information you provide | Your name and email, only if you contact us or subscribe | Directly from you |
Calculator inputs stay on your device
The figures you enter into the gratuity and settlement calculator — such as salary, joining date, and last working day — are processed inside your own browser to show your result.
- We do not require you to sign in or create an account to use the calculator.
- Your salary and date entries are not sent to us as personal records tied to your identity.
- If you download or share a result, that action happens from your own device, under your control.
How we use information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and the calculator.
- Understand which guides and features are most useful, so we can make them better.
- Remember your preferences, such as your choice of light or dark mode.
- Respond to your messages if you contact us.
- Keep the site secure and detect misuse or technical problems.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies & tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site working smoothly and to remember your settings. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended if you disable them.
| Cookie type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Essential | Let the site load and function correctly. |
| Preference | Remember choices such as dark or light mode. |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site, in aggregate. |
Analytics & advertising
We may use analytics services (for example, Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with the site. These services may set their own cookies and process usage data under their own privacy policies. Where we display or test advertising, ad providers may also use cookies to measure performance. You can opt out of many analytics and advertising cookies through your browser or the provider’s own tools.
Third-party services
Some parts of the site rely on trusted third parties, such as:
- Web hosting and content delivery providers that keep the site online.
- Font providers used to display the site’s typography.
- Analytics providers, as described above.
These providers only receive the information needed to perform their service, and are expected to protect it. This site may also link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, so please review their policies separately.
Data retention
We keep information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Aggregated analytics data may be kept longer, since it no longer identifies you personally. If you contact us, we keep your message for as long as needed to handle your request.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, including the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Ask us to delete your personal information, where applicable.
- Object to or restrict certain processing of your information.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
