Privacy Policy
PlainGlobalPay ("we", "us", or "our") operates plainglobalpay.com. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Information We Collect
Analytics: We use privacy-respecting analytics (Umami Analytics and Google Analytics 4) to understand site usage. These tools collect anonymized information including pages visited, time on site, country of origin, and device type. No personally identifiable information is collected or stored.
Calculator usage: When you use the take-home pay calculator, your inputs (salary, country selection, family type) are processed as URL query parameters. They are not stored on our servers.
Log data: Our servers automatically collect standard web server logs (IP addresses, browser type, referring URLs). These are used for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis only, and are not linked to individual users.
Cookies
We use minimal cookies for analytics purposes. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across websites. Our analytics provider (Umami) is configured to be cookieless by default.
