Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1 April 2026
Your Privacy & Data
Our Commitment to You
Welcome to UAE Financial Compass. We believe your financial data is yours alone. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, what we do not collect, and how your data is handled when you use our website and tools.
By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Tool Data — What We Do NOT Collect
✅ All financial calculations run entirely in your browser.
- ✅ Your salary figures, payroll files, loan amounts, and property values never leave your device
- ✅ Uploaded Excel files are processed in-memory and never stored on our servers
- ✅ No account or login is required — ever
- ✅ No subscription, payment, or email sign-up is needed
- ✅ Payroll session data is held temporarily in server memory only for the duration of your session and is never persisted to any database or file storage
2. Information We Do Collect
a) Contact Form Submissions
If you voluntarily submit a contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
b) Anonymous Analytics
- Browser type and version
- General geographic region (country/city level)
- Pages visited and time on page
- Referring website
This data is aggregated and anonymous — it cannot identify you personally.
c) Cookies & Tracking
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — to understand traffic patterns
- Advertising cookies (Google AdSense) — to serve relevant ads
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
3. How We Use Information
- To improve website performance and user experience
- To respond to contact form inquiries
- To analyze anonymous traffic trends
- To display relevant advertisements that keep the platform free
- To comply with legal obligations
4. Financial Tools Disclaimer
UAE Financial Compass provides financial calculators and informational content for educational purposes only. We do not provide licensed financial advisory services and are not responsible for financial decisions made based on our tools. Always consult a qualified financial professional before making investment or financial decisions.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics
- Google AdSense — interest-based advertising
These services operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their data practices.
6. Data Security
Because our financial tools process data entirely in your browser, the most sensitive information — your payroll files, salary data, and financial figures — never touches our servers. For any data that does pass through our systems (e.g., contact form submissions), we implement industry-standard security measures.
7. Your Rights
Under applicable UAE and international data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Request access to any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Opt out of advertising cookies via your browser settings or Google's Ad Settings
To exercise these rights, please contact us via the website.
8. Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
