1. Information we process
ChargeLedger is designed to operate with minimal personal data. The calculators work without account creation and without a requirement to provide direct identity information. We may process limited technical data such as browser type, device category, approximate region, referring page, and interaction timestamps for service measurement and fraud prevention.
If you submit a question through an on-site form, we process the contents of that request and associated technical metadata needed to respond and maintain service integrity. We do not require sensitive categories of personal data for ordinary use of the website.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and local storage to preserve essential site preferences, including cookie banner acknowledgement, and to understand aggregate site performance. Some cookies are strictly necessary for website operation. Others are used for analytics in a way intended to improve usability and content planning.
- Essential storage for core site behaviour and preference retention.
- Measurement tools that assess page performance and feature use.
- Security-related logging to identify abuse and protect service continuity.
You can manage cookies through your browser controls. Blocking essential storage may affect parts of the website, including remembered preferences.
3. Legal bases for processing
Where required by law, ChargeLedger relies on consent for non-essential analytics or preference storage. We also rely on legitimate interests to maintain service security, understand broad site usage, and improve the clarity and reliability of the tools we publish. Where a request is submitted through a form, processing may also be necessary to respond to that request.
4. How long we keep data
Retention periods are based on operational necessity, legal requirements, and the sensitivity of the information involved. Technical logs are kept only as long as needed for performance review, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. Inquiry records are retained for a limited period where needed to manage follow-up and maintain an audit trail of responses.
5. Sharing and processors
We may use service providers for hosting, analytics, content delivery, and security monitoring. Those providers process information under contractual controls and only to the extent necessary to deliver their function. We do not sell personal data gathered through this website.
6. International transfers
Where service providers operate across borders, information may be processed in countries outside your place of residence. In those cases, ChargeLedger seeks appropriate safeguards, which may include contractual commitments, access controls, and data minimisation practices proportionate to the transfer risk.
7. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We review each request in light of applicable law and operational obligations.
8. Security measures
We use administrative, technical, and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the service. Those measures include access limitation, monitoring, and proportionate retention controls. No internet service can promise absolute security, but ChargeLedger aims to reduce unnecessary collection and minimise risk by design.
9. Policy changes
This policy may be updated to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. When updates are material, the revised version will be published on this page with the current effective period shown in site context.
