How Glidma handles your data
Privacy and security aren’t a policy we bolted on — they’re core to how Glidma is built. Here’s exactly what that means in practice.
What we collect
The numbers you type into the calculator — balance, age, withdrawal rate, and similar figures — stay in your browser. We don't ask you to create an account, and we never ask for your fund name, member number, or any identifying account details. Glidma is no longer opening new accounts; the small number of existing accounts keep a log-in, for which we store only the email address (and any scenarios that account saved). If that log-in uses Google, our sign-in provider (Clerk) receives basic profile info as part of that standard flow, but Glidma itself never stores your name, photo, or any other Google account data.
What we never do
We do not sell your data or share it with insurers, funds, or advertisers — including as aggregated or de-identified data. Your figures are used only to calculate the scenario you asked for. We don't run ad-tracking pixels, and any usage analytics we use is privacy-first by design, not tools that build an advertising profile of you.
What we'll never contact you about
We will never call, text, or email you asking you to confirm your balance or "verify" your account. We're not your super fund — we can't see or move your money, so we'd never need to ask. If you get a message like that claiming to be from Glidma, it isn't us. Don't act on it.
One exception: if you've just asked to log in, you'll get an email with a one-time link. That one really is us. It only works because you asked for it, and only once.
No account needed
You can use the full calculator with no account and no email — nothing leaves your browser. Closing the tab clears everything.
Availability
Glidma is run by one person. It's free to use right now, and will stay that way for as long as it's affordable to keep running. If that ever has to change — because of health, cost, or anything else — you'll get a heads-up first, not a surprise.
Who else touches your data
Like any online service, we rely on a small number of infrastructure providers to run Glidma, each processing data on our behalf under contract and never for their own purposes: Clerk (handles log-in for existing accounts, including Google), Supabase (stores existing accounts' saved scenarios and account details, hosted in Sydney), Resend (sends the log-in email link), and Vercel (hosts the app itself). None of them use your data to build advertising profiles or sell it onward.
