Last Updated: January 2026 | Governing 8thPayCalc.com & associated web calculators
Zero Personal Data Collection Guarantee
8th Pay Calc does NOT require any account registration, login credentials, or disclosure of sensitive employee information such as Pay Slip numbers, GPF/PRAN accounts, Aadhaar, or bank details. All calculations execute client-side or statelessly.
1. Zero Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Required
At 8thPayCalc.com, we believe salary, pension, and financial calculations must remain completely confidential. We adhere to a strict policy of zero personal data collection:
- We do NOT require user accounts, passwords, or telephone numbers to use any calculator.
- We never request employee ID numbers, PRAN, PPO (Pension Payment Order) codes, or GPF balances.
- Calculations occur entirely within your browser or statelessly. No entered salary figure is permanently saved to any database.
2. Google AdSense & Advertising Cookies Disclosure
To fund the ongoing research, cloud infrastructure, and continuous maintenance of 8th Pay Calc, we partner with reputable third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense.
- DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google uses cookies to serve ads on 8thPayCalc.com based on a user's prior visits to this website or other sites across the Internet.
- Opting Out of Personalized Ads: Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies via AboutAds.info.
- 8th Pay Calc has no access to or control over cookies placed by third-party advertising partners.
3. Server Log Files & Technical Analytics
Like standard internet websites, our hosting servers automatically record routine non-personal technical telemetry. This information includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (truncated/anonymized for privacy).
- Browser user-agent, operating system, and screen resolution.
- Referring and exit URL pages, date/time stamps, and Core Web Vitals telemetry.
This telemetry is solely used for server health monitoring, security audits (preventing DDoS attacks), and ensuring rapid page delivery across Indian mobile networks.
4. Browser LocalStorage & Functional Cookies
We may utilize your browser's LocalStorage to preserve functional preferences across page reloads:
- Your selected theme mode (Dark Mode or Light Mode).
- Your chosen language toggle (English or Hindi).
- Calculator simulation parameters (such as a custom fitment factor) for seamless recalculation.
This data resides exclusively on your local client device and is never transmitted to remote servers. You can clear this anytime by purging your browser cache.
5. Statutory Privacy Compliance (India DPDP Act 2023, GDPR, CCPA)
India Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023): We practice complete data minimization. Because no personal data is acquired or profiled, your digital privacy rights are intrinsically protected by design.
European Union GDPR & California CCPA/CPRA: Visitors from all global jurisdictions retain full rights regarding tracking preferences. We do not sell, rent, or trade visitor data under any circumstance.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Protecting children's privacy is paramount. 8th Pay Calc is an informational tool targeted at adult public servants, central/state employees, pensioners, and economic analysts. We do not knowingly solicit or collect data from anyone under the age of 13 (or under 18 in India).
