How we handle information on GratuityDue.com.

Overview

GratuityDue.com is an informational website that helps people understand UAE end-of-service gratuity, final settlement issues, and related labour law topics. The site includes a calculator, article library, UAE Labour Law guide, About page, Contact page, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use those pages.

We aim to collect only what is necessary for the site to work and for users to contact us. We do not want confidential employment documents, medical information, passport scans, Emirates ID copies, bank statements, or legal claim bundles through ordinary website forms. If you have an urgent workplace dispute, contact the relevant official authority or a qualified professional directly.

This policy should be read together with our Terms of Use. The Terms explain the limits of the calculator and website content. This Privacy Policy explains how information is treated while using the site.

Calculator inputs

The gratuity calculator asks for values such as basic salary, start date, end date, reason for leaving, and unpaid leave days. These values are used to display an estimate on screen and to show supporting figures such as service duration, daily basic wage, gratuity days, and statutory cap. The calculator is designed for practical estimation, not for collecting employee records.

In this static local build, calculator values run in the browser and are not sent to a backend database by the calculator itself. A future production version may include analytics or service features, but this policy should be updated before any materially different collection is introduced. You should still avoid entering unnecessary personal details into calculator fields. Use numbers and dates only.

Calculator results depend on the information entered. If you enter gross salary instead of basic salary, choose the wrong end date, or omit unpaid leave, the estimate may be wrong. Privacy and accuracy both improve when you use only the minimum information needed: basic salary, relevant dates, and unpaid leave count.

Contact messages

If you use the Contact page, we may receive the name, email address, topic, and message you submit. We use that information to read the message, respond where appropriate, review corrections, and understand user needs. Please keep messages concise and avoid sending sensitive documents through the form.

The contact form sends submitted messages to info@gratuitydue.com through the form delivery service configured on the site. The form asks for your name, email address, topic, message, and a submission reference so we can understand and route the enquiry. Do not send confidential legal files, passport copies, Emirates ID details, salary certificates, or full employment documents unless we specifically ask for them through an appropriate channel.

We may not be able to answer individual legal questions or review private settlement documents. If you ask a question that requires legal advice, official authority intervention, or review of confidential documents, we may suggest that you contact the relevant authority or a qualified advisor.

Cookies and analytics

This static version does not include advertising cookies or behavioural advertising tools. If analytics are added later, the purpose should be to understand site performance, popular resources, errors, and usability. Analytics should not be used to collect salary details or private employment facts from calculator fields.

Some browser storage may be used for local interface behaviour, form testing, or settings. Browser storage is different from submitting information to us. You can clear browser storage through your browser settings. Doing so may reset local form states, saved demo messages, or interface preferences.

If third-party services are introduced in a future deployment, such as analytics, hosting, email delivery, spam protection, or security tools, those services may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and timestamps. This Privacy Policy should be updated when those services are added in production.

Information sharing and retention

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only where needed to operate the site, respond to messages, maintain security, comply with law, or protect our rights. For example, a hosting provider may process technical logs, and an email service may process a message you send to us.

Contact messages should be kept only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain records, manage corrections, or handle legitimate site operations. Technical logs, if enabled by hosting or security services, may be kept for a limited period to protect the website and diagnose issues.

Because GratuityDue.com is an informational resource, we encourage users not to submit unnecessary personal information. The safest privacy practice is to keep sensitive employment details out of general web forms unless there is a clear reason to share them and a secure channel is available.

Your choices and requests

You can choose not to use the contact form and instead browse the site without submitting a message. You can also clear browser storage, use private browsing tools, and avoid entering identifying information into calculator fields. If you contact us, you can ask us to update, correct, or delete a message where reasonably possible.

To make a privacy request, email info@gratuitydue.com. Include enough detail for us to understand the request, but do not include sensitive documents unless necessary. We may need to verify that the request relates to you before acting on it.

If a request relates to information held by a third party, such as an official authority, employer, free-zone portal, browser provider, or email provider, you may need to contact that party directly. We cannot delete or control records that we do not hold.

Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site develops, as new features are added, or as operational practices change. The updated page will replace the previous version. For meaningful changes, the page should explain the new practice clearly so users can understand what changed.

Use the site only if you are comfortable with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should stop using the site. For general questions, corrections, or privacy requests, contact info@gratuitydue.com.
