Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information SalaryEngineer (https://www.salaryengineer.com) collects when you use the site, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. By using the site, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Information you provide. Most of the site can be used without giving us any personal information. If you voluntarily submit a salary, contact us, or fill in a form, we receive what you choose to send — for example an email address, a salary figure, a role, and a location. Submitted salaries are shown only in aggregate and only once enough data exists to protect individual privacy.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and service providers automatically receive standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to operate, secure, and improve the site.

Cookies and similar technologies. We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and, where enabled, advertising. See “Cookies, analytics, and advertising” below.

How we use information

• ▹To operate, maintain, and secure the site;
• ▹To understand aggregate usage and improve our content and data;
• ▹To respond to messages, corrections, and requests you send us;
• ▹To display advertising, where enabled, to support the free service;
• ▹To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Analytics. We use privacy-conscious analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic — which pages are visited and how the site performs. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

Advertising. We may display advertising to support the free service. When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors — including Google — may 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 to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• ▹You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• ▹You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and optout.networkadvertising.org.
• ▹Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings.

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Third-party services

We rely on reputable third parties to host and operate the site (for example, our hosting and content-delivery provider), to measure traffic, and — where enabled — to serve advertising. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies. Our site also links to external resources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; their privacy practices are their own.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain processing or “sale”/“sharing” of personal information. Because we collect very little personal information, in most cases we hold nothing tied to your identity. To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children

The site is intended for a general, professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, and we use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
