Privacy Policy
Summary
GlobalComp is designed to require minimal data from users. The tools and calculators on this site run entirely in your browser — your inputs never leave your device. We use Google Analytics for anonymized site usage statistics and Google AdSense for advertising. We respect Do Not Track and cookie consent preferences.
What information we collect
Information you actively provide
The tools on GlobalComp are fully client-side. The information you enter (search queries, form inputs, selections) stays in your browser. We do not transmit, store, or analyze your inputs.
If you contact us via email, we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any information you choose to include. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
Information collected automatically
When you visit GlobalComp, we automatically collect:
- Standard server log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer URL, timestamp of visit. This is industry-standard server logging used for security and operational purposes.
- Anonymous analytics: Pages visited, time on page, navigation patterns, country (derived from IP), device type. We use Google Analytics for this. Data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense places cookies to serve relevant ads. These cookies are subject to Google's privacy policies.
Cookies
GlobalComp uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Functional cookies: Remembering your preferences and consent settings. These cannot be disabled without breaking site functionality.
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics for anonymous usage statistics. You can opt out via the consent banner or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Advertising cookies: Google AdSense for ad personalization. By default, these are disabled until you grant consent through the cookie banner.
Advertising
GlobalComp displays advertisements through Google AdSense and may use other ad networks in the future. These services use cookies to serve ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing history.
Google's advertising privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising at google.com/settings/ads.
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation and similar regulations, we honor consent preferences. By default, advertising cookies are denied until you grant explicit consent.
Affiliate links
GlobalComp may include affiliate links to third-party services. When you click these links and complete a transaction, we may earn a commission. This commission does not affect the price you pay or our recommendations. Affiliate links are clearly labeled and use the rel="sponsored" attribute.
Data sharing
We do not sell your data to third parties. We share data only with:
- Google (Analytics and AdSense): Anonymous usage data and advertising cookie data, subject to Google's privacy policies.
- Hosting providers: Standard server log data necessary to operate the site.
- Legal authorities: If required by law or to comply with valid legal process.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
- Access: Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of personal data we hold (subject to legitimate business needs).
