Security
Last updated 18 July 2026.
Most security pages explain how carefully data is stored. Ours is simpler: the figures that matter — your pension, investments and cash — are never sent to us in the first place.
Your age, pension, investments and cash live in your browser and in the page’s own address — nowhere else. There is no database row with your numbers in it, because the calculator never sends them anywhere.
No Open Banking, no linked accounts, no live balance fetched in the background. You type what you’re comfortable typing, and that’s the whole extent of it.
The only thing we ever collect is an email address, and only if you choose to give one. It’s used to send occasional notes — never sold, never shared for advertising.
Every connection to the site runs over HTTPS. There’s deliberately very little else in transit — the numbers that matter never left your device to begin with.
A newsletter email, only if you offer one, and — if enabled — cookieless analytics that count page views without identifying you. Neither ever includes anything you typed into the calculator. The full detail is on the privacy page.
If you spot anything that concerns you — a broken assumption, a stray request, anything — security@thewodge.co.uk reaches the people who built this. We read every message.
Nothing here is a certification — it’s an architecture. The less we hold, the less there is to protect.
