Last updated: 1 March 2026

1. Who We Are

The Tool Shed is operated by Chas Walker, an individual based in Australia (h0m1ez187@gmail.com). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use this website.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily

If you create an account for cloud sync, we collect your email address and any scenarios you choose to save. This information is stored securely using Supabase and is associated with your account only.

Automatically collected information

We may collect standard web analytics data including your browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and approximate geographic location (country/state level). This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

Calculator inputs

Any salary or personal details you enter into the calculator are processed entirely within your browser. This data is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to save a scenario to your cloud account.

3. Cookies and Advertising

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve personalised advertisements based on your prior browsing behaviour across websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

We also use a small number of first-party cookies to store your preferences (such as theme selection and terms acceptance). These do not track you across other websites and contain no personally identifiable information.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate and improve the calculator and website
  • To provide cloud save and sync functionality (if you register an account)
  • To display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
  • To monitor website performance and diagnose technical issues

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect any personal information we hold. Account data is stored with Supabase using industry-standard security practices including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and row-level security policies. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Under Australian Privacy Principles (Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), you have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
