Privacy Policy
At gratuity-calculator-uae.ae, the most important asset is your trust and privacy. We believe in a “privacy by design” strategy, and your data is secured under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and the world’s best practices. This policy defines our approach to dealing with information with complete transparency and security.
1. Our No-Data Guarantee of Calculations
We give importance to Data Minimization, unlike many other online tools.
- Processing vs. Storing: Calculation data (salary and dates) is processed in real time to deliver you a result, and it will never be stored on our permanent servers. Please see our full disclaimer for details on how these estimates should be used in official labour disputes.
- Anonymous Usage: You do not need to include your name, Emirates ID, or company information in order to use our Gratuity Calculator.
2. Information We Collect
In order to keep the user experience of high quality, we gather limited data in two categories:
A. Voluntarily Provided Data
When you get in touch with our support or when you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address and name. The information is only applicable to answer your question, and it is never sold to third-party marketers.
B. Automated Technical Data
We gather non-identifiable technical data to secure the progress and quality of our website in the year 2026:
- Aggregated Analytics: We use privacy-first analytics that allow us to determine which parts of our guide are most helpful to the community.
- IP Addresses: To ensure and avoid fraud use and attacks by bots.
- Device and Browser Information: To make our tool interface more useful for your device.
3. Innovative Data Protection and Security
Our digital footprint protection operates on enterprise-level protection:
- 2026 Cybersecurity Compliance: On a regular basis, our systems are audited to comply with the updated standards of the UAE Cybersecurity Law regarding financial technology services.
- Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Our backend is built in such a way that even our administrators cannot look at the exact values that you put into the calculator.
- SSL Encryption of 256 bits: All communications made on our site are encrypted in transit.
4. Your Rights Under UAE PDPL
You have certain rights to your data as a user in the UAE. We facilitate:
- Right to Access and Portability: You can order an overview of all the personal data that we have about you.
- Withdrawal of Consent: At any point, you may either choose to ignore cookies or newsletters through your browser or by clicking the “Unsubscribe” button.
- Right to Correction and Deletion: You can request that we forget you by removing your contact records from our support logs.
5. Cookies and Tracking
Our cookies, which we call “Performance Cookies,” are used to store your language preferences, and cookies in the form of Security Cookies are used to secure our calculation forms. You are able to control your settings using our Consent Management Provider (CMP) banner, which is also in line with IAB TCF v2.2 standards.
6. Child Digital Safety (2026 Compliance)
Our site is designed to be used by individuals aged 18 and above who are professionals, and that is why it complies with Federal Decree-Law No. 26 of 2025 on Child Digital Safety. We will not knowingly gather data on underage minors. In the event that such information is detected, it will be eliminated on the spot through our active content filters.
7. Third-Party Links
On our guide, we have links to official government portals (e.g., MOHRE). Kindly note that when you leave our domain, the privacy policy of the other site applies. We suggest that one should examine the policies of government sites before transmitting sensitive documents.
8. Changes to This Policy
Our policy will keep changing as UAE regulations change. The significant changes will be emphasized on this page. The fact that you will still use the platform after January 1, 2026, will be your acceptance of these new protections. To understand how we operate and the rules governing the use of our digital tools, please visit our Terms and Conditions.
