Privacy Policy
How SalaryMBA handles data, cookies, analytics, and advertising — and the choices you have.
Last updated: July 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information SalaryMBA(“we,” “us,” or “SalaryMBA”) collects when you use www.salarymba.com, why we collect it, and the controls you have. SalaryMBA is an independent MBA salary and ROI reference. We are not a business school, an employer, or an admissions service, and we do not sell personal information.
Information we collect
Information you provide. Most of the site — salary benchmarks, calculators, and reference pages — can be used without an account or any personal details. If you voluntarily submit information (for example, through a compensation submission form or by contacting us), we receive what you choose to send, such as your email address and the content of your message. Submitted outcome data is moderated and only ever shown in aggregate above our sample-size thresholds, never attributed to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically receive standard technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and the pages you view. This is used to operate the site, understand aggregate usage, and keep the service secure.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use a limited set of cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality (such as remembering your light/dark theme preference), for aggregate analytics, and — where enabled — for advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used in aggregate — for example, which reference pages are most helpful. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes data such as your IP address and usage events on our behalf. We use this only to improve the site, not to identify individual visitors. You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising (Google AdSense and third-party vendors)
We may display advertising to support the free reference content on this site. When advertising is enabled:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your 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/choices (or youronlinechoices.eu in the EU).
- Advertising is clearly labeled and never influences our rankings, salary figures, or ROI estimates. Sponsorship is separated from editorial and data by policy.
For more on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google’s partner-sites notice.
How we use information
We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, respond to messages you send us, moderate voluntary submissions, measure aggregate usage, secure the service, and display advertising where enabled. We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices and rights
You can browse the reference content without providing personal information, control cookies through your browser, and opt out of personalized advertising using the links above. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided to us. To exercise any of these, contact us at contact@salarymba.com.
Children
This site is intended for adults evaluating graduate business education. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site evolves or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
