The Annual Leave Calculator (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates annualleavecalculatoraus.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our Site, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). For details on the accuracy and limitations of the calculators themselves, see our Disclaimer.

What Information We Collect

Information you provide directly: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide (such as your name and email address) solely to respond to your enquiry.

Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including:

• IP address (anonymised or truncated where possible)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring website
• General location (country/region level, not precise location)

We do not require you to create an account, and our calculators do not store or transmit your salary, hours, or leave data to us. All calculations happen in your browser — the figures you enter into the Annual Leave or Leave Cost calculators are not sent to our servers or saved by us.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential functionality — remembering your preferences during a session (e.g., which calculator tab is open)
• Analytics — we use [Google Analytics] to understand how visitors use the Site, which helps us improve it. Google Analytics collects information on an aggregated, non-identifiable basis.
• Advertising (if applicable) — if we display ads through [Google AdSense], Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google’s Ads Settings.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from using the calculators.

How We Use Information

We use the information collected to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its calculators
• Understand aggregate traffic patterns and popular content
• Respond to enquiries you send us
• Display advertising, where applicable, to support the free operation of this Site

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

This Site may use the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
• Google AdSense (if applicable) — policies.google.com/technologies/ads

We encourage you to review these providers’ privacy policies for details on how they handle data.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and administrative steps to protect any information we hold from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you (where applicable)
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Lodge a complaint if you believe we’ve mishandled your information — you can contact us first at [your email], or escalate to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)

Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
