Our privacy promise
We don't ask for your name. We don't ask for your email. We don't ask for your passport, BRP, sponsor, or employer. We don't ask for anything that could identify you.
The dates and numbers you type to get your result stay in your browser and are gone the moment you close the tab. We don't have a database of users because we don't have users — just visitors, and we don't know who any of them are.
We use no advertising trackers. We don't set cookies. We don't fingerprint. We don't use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Hotjar, or any tool that could profile you.
We do count anonymous page views on landing and content pages (this page, the about page, the updates feed) using Vercel's cookieless analytics. That tells us things like “100 people visited the site this week” — never who they were, never what they answered. We deliberately exclude the calculator and result pages from analytics entirely, so we never see how any individual progresses through their assessment.
Why does this matter? Because immigration is stressful enough without worrying about who's watching. You should be able to check your eligibility the way you'd check the weather — quickly, privately, and without a trace.
Want to verify this yourself?
Open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab, and use the calculator. You'll see for yourself that no personal data leaves your device — because there is none. The promise is verifiable, not just stated.
What about hosting?
The site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel logs basic request metadata (timestamp, IP, user agent) for operational purposes — that's unavoidable for any web host. Vercel does not see anything you enter into the calculator: your answers never leave your browser to reach Vercel in the first place.
What about the white-label version?
The same calculator engine can be embedded on an immigration firm's own website (e.g. calc.examplefirm.com) under their branding. That's a separate product called the white-label calculator. On those firm-branded surfaces, the firm's own privacy policy applies and they may offer a voluntary lead-capture form so visitors can ask them to follow up.
That lead-capture form never appears on www.ilr-calc.co.uk. Customer information is never collected on this domain, regardless of how you got here. The promise is enforced at two layers: the form refuses to render when the hostname is ilr-calc.co.uk, and the server action that would store any submission refuses to run requests from this domain. You can verify the second one by inspecting the network response if you ever try.
Who operates this
The calculator is built and operated by MangoStack. The privacy posture isn't a policy promise — it's an operational choice. We don't use analytics, we don't run a user database, and we don't hold any email addresses associated with the calculator. The promise to collect nothing is operationally simple because there's nothing to collect.
