This policy covers nursingsalaries.org ("the site"): what is collected when you read a salary or license page or use one of our calculators, who processes it, and the choices you have.
Information you enter in calculators
The salary, take-home, role comparison, travel contract and school payback tools calculate inside your browser. The wages, hours, stipends, tuition and loan figures you enter are never sent to us or saved on a server; the browser only downloads our public wage tables to do the math. The "copy link" button writes your inputs into the page address so you can share a result, and that link goes nowhere unless you send it to someone.
Server and security logs
Cloudflare hosts the site. To deliver pages and block abuse it processes standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and the address requested, as any web host does. Its handling is described in Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Usage measurement (Google Analytics)
Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC) tells us in aggregate which nursing salary, specialty and school pages are read, roughly from which country, and on what kind of device. Names, email addresses and calculator inputs are never sent to Google, and we do not use Analytics to profile individual visitors.
Google Consent Mode is on. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage start as denied: no analytics cookies are set and Google receives only cookieless signals with no identifier. In other regions Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga to recognize a returning browser. Your browser's cookie settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on block them. Details: Google's privacy policy.
Advertising and cookies
Ads on the site are served by Google AdSense, which is how the wage data and calculators stay free for nurses and students.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
- Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a Google-certified consent message asks before personalized ads or non-essential cookies are used, and its privacy settings link lets you change that choice later.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR, KVKK and U.S. state laws (for example the CCPA) may give you the right to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to some processing. The site has no accounts, sign-ups or job applications and keeps no visitor profiles, so there is usually nothing of yours for us to hand over. Advertising data is managed through Google's tools listed above; for any other request, write to us.
Children
The site is intended for adults and students planning a career and is not directed to children under 13.
