This Privacy Policy explains how UK Freelancer Money Hub ("we", "us", "our") collects and uses information when you visit this website. We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Information we collect
- Calculator inputs: Numbers you enter into our tools are processed in your browser only — they are never sent to our servers or stored.
- Cookies & similar technologies: Small files placed on your device for essential functionality and, with your consent, analytics and advertising.
- Usage data: Pages visited, device type, browser, country, and referrer — collected by analytics providers if you accept cookies.
- Log data: IP address and timestamps may be processed by our hosting provider for security and abuse prevention.
2. How we use your information
- To operate and improve the website and its tools.
- To measure traffic and understand which content is helpful.
- To display advertising that supports the free service.
- To protect against abuse, fraud and security threats.
3. Cookies
We use two categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g. remembering your cookie choice). These do not require consent.
- Analytics & advertising cookies: Used by Google Analytics and Google AdSense to measure traffic and serve ads. These are only set after you accept them in our consent banner.
You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site, which will redisplay the consent banner.
4. Third-party services
- Google Analytics: Helps us understand how visitors use the site. Data may be processed by Google LLC. See Google's Privacy Policy.
