Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Life Atlas may collect, how it is used, and how readers can contact us about privacy-related questions.
Information we collect
Life Atlas does not require a reader account for normal browsing. Standard server logs, analytics data, device information, browser type, pages viewed, and approximate access time may be collected automatically for security, troubleshooting, and site improvement.
Contact information
If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we may receive the name, email address, message content, and any information you voluntarily include. This information is used only to respond to the inquiry or improve the site.
Cookies and analytics
The site may use cookies, analytics tools, advertising technologies, or embedded services to understand traffic and maintain the service. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Advertising and external links
Life Atlas may include advertisements, affiliate-like links, official-source links, or links to third-party websites. External sites have their own privacy policies, and Life Atlas is not responsible for their data practices.
Retention and contact
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for operation, legal compliance, or communication. Privacy questions can be sent through the Contact page.

Before you type, share only what is necessary
A calculator can be useful without becoming a place to copy sensitive records. Before entering an amount or sending a correction request, remove names, account numbers, passport numbers, full addresses, login codes, and document images unless a specific official service requires them.
Use this page in a practical order
- Use rounded or test figures when you only need to understand how a calculator changes with an input.
- For a discrepancy report, provide the page URL, date, and the incorrect general rule first; do not attach an identity document or credentials.
- Read the browser, cookie, and advertising settings available to you before changing preference-related settings.
- For an official application, move to the agencyโs own secure service and check what information it asks for there.
Example
If a payroll article appears inconsistent with a payslip, a safer first report is: the article URL, the pay period, the label that seems unclear, and a request to review it. The employee number, bank details, and the complete payslip do not need to be included in that first message.
Quick FAQ
Can this policy make a public-service filing private?
No. Privacy controls for a filing are set by the agency or provider receiving it. Check that serviceโs current notice before submitting personal information.
Privacy and data-minimisation note. For a rule, eligibility decision, payment, or submission, the current official serviceโnot this page or a calculator resultโis the source to rely on. A useful starting point is U.S. Federal Trade Commission privacy and security guidance.
