Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 30, 2026
GlobalFreelanceRate (“FreelanceRate,” “we,” “us”) operates https://globalfreelancerate.com/ and provides free freelance pricing calculators and educational content. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our website.
Information we do not collect from calculators
Calculator and tool inputs (income figures, rates, hours, tax assumptions) are processed in your browser to display results. We do not transmit those inputs to our servers or store them on our systems.
Information you provide voluntarily
If you submit our contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond. Our hosting provider (Netlify) may process form submissions on our behalf according to their privacy terms.
Local storage
We may store your preferred display currency in your browser’s local storage to improve repeat visits. You can clear this via browser settings.
Log and analytics data
Our hosting infrastructure may collect standard server logs (IP address, user agent, pages requested) for security and reliability. We may use Google Search Console and similar tools to understand site performance in aggregate.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn about Google’s practices at Google Advertising Policies and opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.
Third-party exchange rate API
Currency conversion may request data from open.er-api.com. That provider may log requests according to its own policy. We do not send your calculator inputs to the FX API beyond what is required to retrieve public exchange rates.
Children
Our site is intended for adults conducting business planning. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
International users
We serve users globally. By using the site, you understand that information you submit via contact forms may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold from contact submissions. Email us via the contact page to make a request.
Changes
We may update this policy; the effective date above will change when we do. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
