Last updated: 9 November 2026. This policy explains what personal data is processed when you visit it-salaries.com and what rights you have.

Please send privacy requests to this address with the subject “Privacy”. We respond within one month of receipt. Further operator details are available in the imprint.

Hosting and server logs

The website is hosted on servers in the European Union. The hosting provider is Hetzner Online GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany. When you visit, the web server processes technically necessary connection data: IP address, date and time, requested file, status code, user agent, and referrer. This data is used for secure and stable delivery, error analysis, and attack prevention. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Logs are deleted after no later than 30 days unless a security incident requires longer retention.

Salary calculator and search

The gross-to-net calculator runs entirely in your browser. Inputs are not sent to our servers or stored. The search loads a static index from our server; search terms are not transmitted to us or logged.

Salary submissions

The salary form is disabled in the current preview: form data is not transmitted. If an endpoint is configured, we process role, country, city, experience, annual gross salary, working model, and optional skills. Name, employer, and email are not part of the form. Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We use the data solely for aggregate salary benchmarks, review submissions, and do not publish individual entries. We delete raw data after no more than 24 months; anonymized aggregates may be retained longer. We will name the form endpoint operator before activation.

Newsletter

Newsletter signup becomes active only when a Brevo form is configured. We then process your email address, signup time, and technical confirmation data for double opt-in. Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Brevo SAS, Paris, France, acts as our processor. You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link or by email. After withdrawal we delete your data unless legal retention obligations apply; a suppression list may remain to prevent further contact.

Analytics

Plausible Analytics loads only when a domain is configured. Plausible sets no cookies, stores no IP addresses, and creates no cross-site profiles. It records aggregate page views, referrer, device, browser, and approximate region. The provider is Plausible Insights OÜ, Estonia. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in privacy-friendly analytics under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Advertising

Google AdSense loads only when an AdSense client is configured and you have given explicit consent. Without consent, no AdSense scripts or advertising cookies are set. After consent, Google Ireland Limited (Dublin, Ireland) and Google LLC (USA) may set cookies and device identifiers and process IP address, device and browser data, approximate location, and ad interactions to serve and measure ads. Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and applicable ePrivacy rules. Google may transfer data to the USA under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, supplemented by standard contractual clauses where required. Further information: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing the advertising choice in your browser or contacting us; this does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

Cookies and local storage

The website does not use cookies for its basic operation. If AdSense is enabled, we store your choice in the localStorage key “ads-consent” (values: accepted or rejected). This storage documents your consent and remains until you delete it in your browser settings. After consent, AdSense may set its own cookies; Google determines their names and durations. Plausible sets no cookies. You can delete cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings.

Recipients and processors

We share personal data only with service providers acting as our processors or where legally required: Hetzner Online GmbH (hosting, Germany), Plausible Insights OÜ (analytics, Estonia, only when configured), Brevo SAS (newsletter, France, only when configured), and Google Ireland Limited or Google LLC (AdSense, only with consent). We will name the operator of a salary form endpoint before activation. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Hosting, Plausible, and Brevo take place within the EU or EEA. Google may transfer data to the USA. The transfer relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, where required, standard contractual clauses. See Google’s privacy policy for details.

Retention

Server logs: no more than 30 days, except for security incidents. Salary submissions: raw data for no more than 24 months, anonymized aggregates longer. Newsletter: until withdrawal, then deletion subject to legal obligations and a suppression list. Advertising choice: until you delete it in your browser. Privacy requests: until resolved, then deletion subject to legal obligations.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. You may also lodge a complaint with the Bulgarian supervisory authority: Commission for Personal Data Protection, 2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd., 1592 Sofia, Bulgaria, https://www.cpdp.bg. We respond to requests within one month. We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling.

Children

The website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We protect data through HTTPS, access controls, data minimization, and anonymized aggregation. There are no user accounts and no payment data.

External links

External links lead to third-party websites. Their operators are responsible for their content and privacy practices.

Self-hosted fonts

All fonts are served locally with the website. Loading fonts does not connect to Google Fonts or another font service.
