Privacy Policy

RealSalary.in (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a free suite of financial calculators for Indian salaried professionals. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using RealSalary.in, you agree to the practices described here.

Your calculator inputs stay on your device

The most important thing to know: the numbers you type into our calculators — your CTC, salary components, expenses, retirement inputs, or any other figures — are processed entirely within your own browser. We do nottransmit, store, log, or save these inputs on any server. When you close the page, they’re gone. Your personal financial figures are never collected by us.

Information we do collect

While we don’t collect your calculator inputs, some standard information is collected automatically when anyone visits a website, and through the third-party services we use:

• Usage & analytics data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed, how long visits last, approximate location (city/region level), device type, and browser. This helps us improve the tools. Google Analytics collects this using cookies and similar technologies.
• Server & log data. Our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information such as IP addresses, timestamps, and requested pages, as part of operating and securing the website.
• If you email us. If you choose to contact us at the email address on our Contact page, we will receive whatever information you include in that email (such as your email address and message). We use it only to respond to you.

Cookies and advertising

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our third-party partners use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and, where applicable, advertising.

Advertising (Google AdSense). To keep RealSalary.in free, we may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google’s Partner Sites policy.
• You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, and opt out of some third-party advertising cookies at aboutads.info.

How we use information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and its calculators.
• Understand aggregate usage patterns so we can make the tools more useful.
• Display advertising that helps keep the site free.
• Respond to you if you contact us by email.

We do not sell your personal information.

Third-party services

We rely on trusted third parties to run the site, and their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics & Google AdSense — see Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Our hosting provider — which serves the website and keeps standard operational logs.

Your choices and rights

You can control cookies through your browser settings and opt out of personalised ads using the links above. Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data — such as the right to access, correct, or delete it. Because we don’t collect or store your calculator inputs or maintain user accounts, we hold very little personal data about you. If you have a request or question, you can contact us using the details on our Contact page.

Children’s privacy

RealSalary.in is intended for working professionals and is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features or services. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
