At 8thpaycalculator.tech (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”), your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data when you visit our blog and use our tools.
We are committed to transparency – especially because our users include Indian Government employees and pensioners who value data safety.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

2. COOKIES & THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING (GOOGLE ADSENSE)
🍪 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help the website remember your preferences and deliver relevant ads.
✅ Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

3. DO WE STORE PERSONAL FINANCIAL DATA?
NO. Absolutely NOT.
We do NOT:

- Collect or retain pension details, bank account numbers, UAN, PRAN, GPF numbers, or any other financial identifiers.
- Share any personal data with third parties for financial profiling.
Any numbers you enter into the 8th Pay Calculator remain on your device only. We have no access to them.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY STANDARDS
Even though our primary audience is Indian Government employees, we respect global privacy laws. Our practices align with:
🌍 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – EU/UK)
- You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we might hold (though we hold almost none).

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us, and we will delete it.
6. DATA SECURITY
We implement reasonable technical measures (SSL encryption, firewalls, regular updates) to protect any data we collect (primarily log files). However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. By using our site, you acknowledge this risk.
7. THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our blog may contain links to external websites (government portals, news articles, YouTube videos, etc.). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We recommend reading their privacy policies separately.
8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally (e.g., when AdSense changes its policies, or when the 8th Pay Commission is officially announced). Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Significant changes may be notified via a banner on the homepage.
