Privacy policy last updated: 7 November 2026
This privacy policy explains, in plain English, what personal data RemoteGlide.com collects, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what rights you have. We’ve kept it short and honest, because a privacy policy nobody can read helps nobody.
Our privacy policy in short
- Our calculators and tools run in your browser. The numbers you type in are not sent to us and are not stored by us.
- We only use Google Analytics if you say yes in the cookie banner.
- If you contact us, we use your name, email address and message only to reply to you.
- We never sell your personal data, and we don’t run advertising cookies at the moment.
- You can ask us to see, correct or delete your data at any time.
Who we are
RemoteGlide.com is an independent website based in Dublin, Ireland (“we”, “us”). We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. You can reach us at support@remoteglide.com or through our contact page. Because we are based in Ireland, this privacy policy follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection law.
Our calculators and tools
Our tools, such as the take-home pay calculator and the childcare vs. work calculator, do all their sums inside your web browser. Your salary, childcare costs, hours and answers are not sent to our server, not saved in a database and not shared with anyone. When you close or refresh the page, they’re gone.
If you have agreed to statistics cookies, Google Analytics may record that you visited a tool page, but not the numbers you entered.
Information we collect
- Contact form and email: your name, email address and message, used only to reply to you. Messages sent through the contact form are stored in our website’s database and forwarded to our email inbox.
- Analytics (only with your consent): we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful, such as pages visited, device type and approximate country. Google Analytics does not give us your name or email address.
- Technical data: our hosting provider, Hostinger, keeps server logs (IP address, browser type and time of visit) for security for a short period. Our security plugin, Wordfence, also processes IP addresses to block attacks and spam.
- Cookies: see our Cookie Policy for the full list. Non-essential cookies are only set after you agree.
Why we use your data and our legal basis
- Replying to your messages: our legitimate interest in answering your enquiry.
- Analytics: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time using the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
- Keeping the site secure: our legitimate interest in protecting the website and its visitors from attacks.
- Keeping records we must keep by law: our legal obligations, if any apply.
How long we keep it
- Contact messages: up to 12 months after our last reply, then we delete them.
- Google Analytics data: no longer than 14 months, which is the retention period set in our Analytics account.
- Server and security logs: a short period set by our hosting and security providers, usually a few weeks.
Who we share data with
We only share data with service providers that help run the site: our hosting provider (Hostinger), Google (for Analytics, if you agree) and our email provider. They may only use your data to provide their service to us. We never sell your personal data, and we don’t share it with advertisers or “partners”.
International transfers
Some providers, such as Google, may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, the transfer is protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Your rights under this privacy policy
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- ask us to correct data that is wrong
- ask us to delete your data
- object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
- ask for your data in a portable format
- withdraw your consent to analytics at any time
To use any of these rights, email support@remoteglide.com. We’ll reply within one month and won’t charge you.
How to complain
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland. If you live in the UK, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office. If you live elsewhere, you can contact your local data protection authority.
Automated decisions and profiling
We don’t use your personal data to make automated decisions about you, and we don’t build profiles of individual visitors. Our scam checker and work matcher give results based only on the answers you tick on the page, and those answers never leave your browser.
Newsletter
We don’t send a newsletter yet. If we start one, we’ll only email people who sign up themselves, every email will include an unsubscribe link, and we’ll update this privacy policy to name the email service we use before the first email goes out.
Visitors in the US
We don’t sell or share personal information for targeted advertising. Whatever state you live in, you can ask us what we hold about you or ask us to delete it, and we’ll handle your request in the same way as anyone else’s.
Children
RemoteGlide is written for adults. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from children. If you think a child has sent us their details, contact us and we’ll delete them.
Security
The site uses HTTPS encryption, a firewall and malware scanning, and only a small number of people can sign in to the site’s dashboard. No website can be completely secure, so please don’t send bank details, passwords or ID documents through our contact form.
Links to other websites
Our guides link to official sources and platforms, such as Revenue, GOV.UK and the IRS. Those websites have their own privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for how they handle your data.
Changes to this privacy policy
If we change how we use personal data, for example if we start showing ads, we’ll update this privacy policy before the change and show the new date at the top of the page.
Questions about this privacy policy
Email support@remoteglide.com or use our contact page. We read every message, and we’re happy to explain anything in this privacy policy in more detail.
