Privacy policy

Short version: we do not collect, store or sell personal information. What you type, including names and ID numbers, stays on your device.

Last updated 30 October 2026.

Payslips and contracts

The payslip generator and contract template work entirely in your web browser. The PDF or Word file is created on your device and downloaded directly. Names, addresses, ID numbers and pay details are not sent to us, not saved in cookies or browser storage, and not added to the page address. When you close the page, they are gone, so keep your own copies.

Calculators and shared links

The minimum wage, UIF, leave and final-pay calculators add the numbers you enter (such as hours and dates, never names) to the page address, so the Share button can create a link that reproduces the calculation. This stays in your browser unless you share or bookmark the link.

Hosting logs

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use this data to identify you.

Advertising

Advertising is switched off by default. If we enable display advertising (for example Google AdSense), the ad provider may use cookies or similar technologies to show and measure ads. Before ads are enabled we will update this policy, name the provider and provide any consent choices required by law.

Future paid features

We plan optional paid features such as saved workers and payslip reminders. These would need an account and would store some information. They do not exist yet. Before they launch, this policy will be updated to explain exactly what is stored, where, and how to delete it.

Your rights under POPIA

The Protection of Personal Information Act gives you the right to know what personal information is held about you and to ask for it to be corrected or deleted. Because the tools do not collect personal information, we normally hold none. If you email us, we use your email only to reply and delete it when it is no longer needed. You may also complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa).
