Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-01

SalaryScout ("we", "us") provides free US salary data and research tools. This policy explains what information we handle, how we use it, and how you can exercise control over it. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

Information we collect

• Information you provide directly. If you email us, we receive your address and message. We do not currently require accounts or forms on the site.
• Usage information. Like most sites, our hosting and analytics providers may record technical details such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page and pages visited. We use privacy-friendly analytics that do not track you across other sites and do not place tracking cookies.
• Advertising. We are supported by advertising. If you see ads, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or via the ad provider's controls (e.g., Google Ads Settings / YourAdChoices).

How we use information

• To operate, maintain and improve the site.
• To understand which guides are useful (aggregate analytics only).
• To respond to your questions if you contact us.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies. Functionality provided by our hosting or platform may set small, strictly necessary cookies. Advertising partners may set cookies to serve and measure ads. You can control or delete cookies in your browser at any time.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the site (hosting, analytics, advertising) and only to the extent needed for those services, or where required by law.

Your choices & rights

You can disable cookies in your browser, opt out of personalized ads via advertising settings, and request deletion or correction of any personal data you've sent us by contacting us below.

Children

SalaryScout is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected with a new "last updated" date at the top of this page.
