Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This privacy notice explains how ILR Calculator UK (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects information about you when you visit ilrcalculatoruk.co.uk (the “Site”). It applies to all visitors and is published in compliance with UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

1. Who we are

ILR Calculator UK is a UK-based information service providing free Indefinite Leave to Remain calculators and related guidance to applicants navigating UK settlement process. We are the data controller for any personal data you provide through this Site. You can contact us at any time using the details on our Contact page or by emailing [email protected].

2. Information we collect

• Information you submit — your full name, email address, telephone number (optional), topic of your enquiry and message details when you complete our contact form.
• Calculator inputs — dates of entry, departure dates, return dates, route selections and other figures you enter into our calculators. These values are processed entirely in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers, stored in any database, or shared with any third party.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL and pages visited. This data is collected through standard server logs and privacy-friendly aggregate analytics.
• Cookies — small text files that help the Site function correctly. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

3. How we use your information

• To respond to enquiries you submit through the contact form.
• To arrange consultations with our partner UK immigration solicitors when you request one.
• To improve our calculators, articles and overall user experience based on aggregate usage patterns.
• To detect, prevent and address technical issues, fraud and abuse of the Site.
• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Lawful basis for processing

We rely on the following lawful bases under Article 6 of the UK GDPR:

• Consent — when you submit the contact form or accept analytics cookies.
• Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, monitor and improve the Site, in a manner you would reasonably expect.
• Legal obligation — where processing is necessary to comply with UK law.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. With your consent, we may share enquiry details with our regulated UK immigration solicitor partners so that they can provide the consultation you have requested. We may also share data with trusted service providers (such as email delivery, hosting and analytics providers) acting as data processors on our behalf and bound by appropriate contractual protections.

6. Data retention

Enquiry data is retained for up to 24 months from the date of your last interaction, after which it is securely deleted. Anonymised aggregate analytics may be retained for up to 26 months. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention purposes.

7. Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data in defined circumstances.
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data.
• Data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent — at any time, where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

8. International transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we rely on UK-recognised adequacy decisions or appropriate safeguards such as International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

9. Security

We employ industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, access controls, secure hosting and regular security reviews. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this notice from time to time to reflect changes in law, our practices, or the operation of the Site. The “last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site for at least 14 days.
