Privacy policy

Last updated: 27 September 2026

Calculator data

Every calculation on this site runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The CTC, hike percentage and any other figures you enter are never sent to a server, never written to a database, and never logged. If you close the tab, they are gone.

Cookies

Cloudflare Web Analytics sets no cookies. DataFast, which counts page views and returning visits, sets an analytics cookie so a later visit can be recognised. There are no advertising cookies and no preference cookies.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It is privacy-first by design: it does not use cookies, does not fingerprint visitors, and does not collect any personal data. It records aggregate information such as the page visited, referrer, and general country, never anything that identifies an individual.

We also use DataFast (JustShipIt Pte. Ltd.) to count page views and see which pages people return to. The script loads from datafa.st. It records the page visited, referrer, browser and device type, approximate location, and a cookie identifier. It does not receive the salary figures you type into a calculator. How DataFast handles that data is set out in its data processing agreement.

Voluntary hike submissions

If you choose to submit your hike details through the optional form, we store only what the form asks for: role category, city, years of experience, salary band, hike percentage, and whether you accepted. This is used to build aggregate, anonymised statistics about salary hikes in India.

Submitting is entirely optional and the calculator works fully without it. We do not collect your name, email address, employer, or any other identifying detail, and because we collect none, a submission cannot be traced back to you or withdrawn individually.

To prevent abuse, the server keeps a one-way cryptographic hash of your IP address, salted and truncated, purely to rate-limit submissions. The original IP address is never stored, and the hash cannot be reversed.

Third parties

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes requests as a hosting and network provider and maintains its own security logs, governed by Cloudflare's privacy policy. DataFast receives the page-view events described above. There is no advertising network and no social media embed. Third-party sites that embed our calculator load an iframe from salaryhike.in; visitor inputs stay in their browser and are not sent to us.

Children

This site is a salary tool intended for working adults and is not directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated.
