Privacy Policy

Who we are

BudgetOverrun.com is operated by Digital Signet Limited, 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. Digital Signet Limited is the data controller for this site. Contact: privacy@digitalsignet.com.

What we collect

This site has no accounts, no logins and no sign-up forms. The calculators run entirely in your browser: the project budget, duration, contingency and risk inputs you enter are not sent to us, not stored on a server, and not written to browser storage. If you are modelling a real programme, none of those figures leave your machine. The only data we process is aggregate analytics.

Aggregate analytics. Google Analytics 4 records your visit (page viewed, referring page, device type, approximate location by country or region, and a pseudonymous identifier) so we can see which pages are useful. IP addresses are anonymised.

Advertising and commercial links

This site carries no display advertising and loads no advertising network script. Nothing on it sets cookies or reads advertising identifiers in order to target ads. Its commercial elements are one labelled partner link (monday.com) and a sponsorship slot that is currently unsold; neither influences any figure or result on this site.

US visitors. We do not sell or share personal information as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state laws define those terms, so there is nothing to opt out of. We honour the Global Privacy Control signal regardless, and we do not knowingly collect the personal information of anyone under 16.

UK and EU visitors. The only cookies this site sets are Google Analytics measurement cookies, with IP anonymisation. You can block them with a tracker-blocking extension, the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or your browser's private mode, and the site works exactly the same.

Cookies, providers and transfers

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful. No advertising cookies are set. We do not use cookies to build a profile of you ourselves.

A small number of providers process data on our behalf: Cloudflare (DNS, security and hosting) and Google Analytics (aggregate site statistics). We are a UK controller with an international readership, so those providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where UK or EU data protection law applies to a transfer, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy arrangements or standard contractual clauses.

Retention and your rights

We hold no personal data of our own. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months and then aggregated or deleted, per our GA4 configuration.

Depending on where you live, you have the right to ask us to:

• give you a copy of the data we hold about you (access);
• correct it (rectification);
• delete it (erasure);
• limit what we do with it (restriction);
• stop processing it (objection);
• withdraw consent you previously gave.

Email privacy@digitalsignet.com and we will act within one month (45 days for CCPA requests). We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. If you are in the UK you can also complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk; if you are in the EU, to your local supervisory authority.

Children and changes

This site is a professional reference on project cost performance. It is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we change this policy we will post the new version on this page with a new effective date.
