A little clarity.
A lot less worry.
Your leave plans are yours. Here’s how LeaveGain handles information when you use it.
Privacy policy · Updated 10 October 2026
Your calculator settings
Your selected region, annual leave balance, work schedule, and maximum leave per trip are saved in your browser’s local storage so they are available next time you visit. Nothing is sent to LeaveGain servers. When you choose Share link, these settings are included in the URL so recipients can recreate the break. Opening a shared URL restores its settings.
Website access
Your browser connects to the website’s host to load LeaveGain. The hosting provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type and request time to deliver and protect the website. Shared URLs contain planner settings in the part after the #, which browsers do not send in normal website requests. The full URL may still appear in your browser history or in an app you share it with.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
If you allow analytics cookies, LeaveGain loads Google Analytics to measure page visits and website usage. Google receives technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, and uses cookies to distinguish visits. You can allow or turn off analytics using the control at the bottom of any page. Analytics is not loaded before you opt in. Our page views and custom events exclude URL query strings and fragments. With your consent, we measure planner actions, sharing, language changes, travel spins and affiliate clicks using limited context such as country, year, language, planning style, destination and provider. We do not send leave balances, selected dates, personal holiday names or shared plan payloads.
LeaveGain may load Google AdSense to serve and measure advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may receive information such as the page URL, IP address, browser or device information, and may set or read cookies for ad delivery, frequency controls, measurement, fraud prevention, and—depending on your settings and applicable consent—personalisation. You can review how Google uses information from partner sites and manage personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings.

Interactive travel maps
When you open a travel map or select a destination in it, your browser requests map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Those requests disclose your IP address and the map areas being viewed to the tile provider. The map does not request your device location or send your leave settings. Destination links open the external OpenStreetMap website.
Sharing a leave idea
Share image sends the recommendation image to your device’s share menu or a local download. Share link opens your device’s share menu or copies a URL containing the country, state (where applicable), year, leave balance, maximum leave per trip and selected break. Anyone with the link can see those settings. You choose where it goes next. Any app or service you select handles the shared content under its own privacy policy.
