Malta Salary Calc uses automatically collected data for 4 purposes:
Website performance monitoring — identifying slow pages, errors, and technical issues

Cookies
Malta Salary Calc uses cookies to collect analytics data and remember consent preferences. Full details are provided in our Cookie Policy. You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via the cookie settings panel on the Website.
Third-Party Services
Malta Salary Calc uses the following third-party services that may process visitor data:
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for Website usage analytics
CloudflareCDN for security, performance
These services operate under their own privacy policies. Malta Salary Calc does not control how these third parties process data collected through their own platforms.
Where Google Analytics 4 is used, IP anonymisation is enabled and data sharing with Google advertising products is disabled.
Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Analytics data (GA4) | 14 months (Google’s default retention setting) |
| Server logs | 30 days |
| Email correspondence | Until the enquiry is resolved, then deleted within 12 months |
| Cookie consent records | 12 months from consent date |
Calculator input data (salary figures entered by users) is never stored and therefore has no retention period.
Data Transfers Outside the EU/EEA
Google Analytics 4 may transfer data to servers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including to the United States. Google LLC participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, providing adequate safeguards for such transfers in line with GDPR requirements.
