Privacy Policy
What Experience Calculator collects, what it doesn’t, and the choices you have.
This policy describes how experiencecalculator.net handles information when you visit the site, use the calculator, or contact us. The short version: your employment dates are processed in your browser and never uploaded, and the only data we handle comes from standard website analytics, advertising partners, and the emails you choose to send us.
Last updated: 17 September 2026
Information We Collect
Experience Calculator is built to work with as little personal data as possible. There is no account to create, and we do not ask for your name, employer, or identity to use the tool. The information that does pass through the site falls into four groups.
Calculator Inputs
The start and end dates you type in are processed by your browser to produce your total. They are not transmitted to our servers, stored, or linked to you.
Usage & Analytics Data
Like most websites, we may collect aggregated data such as pages viewed, time on page, referring site, and approximate region to understand how the site is used.
Device & Browser Information
Technical details such as browser type, operating system, screen size, and IP address are received automatically by our hosting and analytics providers.
Information You Send Us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to reply and resolve your request.
How We Use Information
We use the limited data we receive for a small number of practical purposes. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it to build profiles of individual visitors.
Operate & Improve the Site
To keep the calculator working, fix bugs, and understand which features and pages are useful.
Respond to Your Messages
To answer questions, investigate reported problems, and follow up on suggestions you send.
Security & Abuse Prevention
To detect and block automated traffic, attacks, or misuse that could affect other visitors.
Display Advertising
To show ads through third-party networks that keep the calculator free, as described in this policy.
Legal Compliance
To meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our terms where necessary.
Aggregated Insights
To review overall trends, such as which devices visitors use, in a form that identifies no one.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. This website and its partners may use the following types. You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Essential Cookies
Needed for basic site functions such as security and load balancing. They do not track you across sites.
Analytics Cookies
Help us measure traffic and usage in aggregate, for example through Google Analytics, so we can improve the site.
Advertising Cookies
Set by ad partners such as Google to show relevant ads and limit how often you see the same one.
Preference Cookies
May remember simple settings, such as a dismissed notice, so you are not asked repeatedly.
Disabling cookies may affect some features on this and other websites, but the calculator itself will continue to work without them.
Google AdSense & Advertising Partners
Advertising keeps Experience Calculator free. We may display ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. This section explains how those partners may use your data and how to control it.
Google’s Use of Cookies
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Opting Out of Personalised Ads
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info.
How Google Uses Data
Details of how Google manages data in its ads products are published at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. We encourage you to review it.
Other Ad Networks
Other advertising partners may use similar technologies. Each partner has its own privacy policy, and we do not control the cookies they set or the data they collect.
Ad Content
Ads are chosen automatically by the network. Their appearance on this site is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for advertisers’ products or claims.
Your Calculator Data Is Separate
The dates you enter into the calculator are never shared with advertising partners and play no part in the ads you see.
Third-Party Services & External Links
We rely on a few outside services to run the site, and pages may link to external websites. Each of these operates under its own privacy policy.
Hosting & Infrastructure
Our hosting provider processes technical data such as IP addresses in server logs to deliver the site and keep it secure.
Analytics Providers
Services such as Google Analytics collect aggregated usage statistics. Their handling of data is governed by their own policies.
Fonts & Embedded Content
Pages may load web fonts or embedded resources from third-party servers, which can receive your IP address when they are fetched.
External Websites
Links to other sites are provided for reference. Once you leave experiencecalculator.net, this policy no longer applies.
Email Service
Messages you send us are received and stored by our email provider, subject to that provider’s security and privacy terms.
No Data Sales
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third party. Data is shared only with the service providers named above, and only to run the site.
Data Security, Retention & Children’s Privacy
We take reasonable steps to protect the small amount of information we handle, and we keep it no longer than needed.
How Your Information Is Protected
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Within that limit, we apply the following safeguards and practices:
Children’s privacy: this website is intended for adults planning or documenting their careers. It is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or the CCPA/CPRA (California) may give you specific rights over your personal data. Whatever your location, we extend the following choices to all visitors.
Access & Correction
Ask what personal information we hold about you (typically only your emails) and request that it be corrected.
Deletion
Ask us to delete your correspondence and any associated personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
Opt Out of Personalised Ads
Use Google Ads Settings or the industry opt-out tools linked above to limit ad personalisation.
Control Cookies
Block or delete cookies through your browser settings, or use a browser extension that limits tracking.
Object or Restrict
Object to certain processing, or ask us to restrict it, where the law gives you that right.
Complain to a Regulator
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you may lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, reach us through the Contact Us page. We will respond within the time required by applicable law, and we may ask you to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

Privacy Questions, Answered
Quick answers to the questions visitors ask most often about their data.
Are the dates I enter into the calculator saved anywhere?
No. The calculation happens inside your browser. Your dates are not sent to our servers, stored in a database, or shared with anyone. When you close or refresh the page, they are gone.
Do I need to create an account or give my name?
No. The calculator is free to use without registration, and we never ask for your name, employer, or contact details to produce a result.
Does the site use cookies?
Yes, for analytics and advertising as described above. Essential cookies keep the site running; analytics and advertising cookies can be blocked in your browser without affecting the calculator.
How do I stop seeing personalised ads?
Visit Google Ads Settings to turn off ad personalisation for your Google account, or use the opt-out tool at aboutads.info for other networks. You may still see ads, but they will not be based on your browsing history.
Do you sell my personal information?
No. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. The only sharing that happens is with the service providers needed to host the site, measure traffic, and display ads.
What happens to the email I send you?
We use it to reply to you and resolve your request. It is kept only as long as the conversation is open, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
Is the site suitable for children?
The tool is designed for people documenting their working careers, so it is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13, and we delete it if we learn we have.
How can I contact you about privacy?
Use the Contact Us page. For the limits of the calculator and how results should be used, see the Disclaimer.
Privacy Shouldn’t Be Complicated
Your dates stay on your device, we collect only what a website needs to run, and you control cookies and ad personalisation. If any part of this policy is unclear, we’re happy to explain it in plain language.
