This site collects nothing about you. It has no forms, no accounts, no cookies, no analytics and no advertising, and what you type into the calculator never leaves your device.
Who is accountable
- Person accountable for this site
- Sergio Padilla, a private individual resident in Mexico. The domain longserviceguide.com is registered to him, and he alone publishes and edits this site. The site is run from Mexico and has no office or representative in Australia.

The calculator
The dates, the pay and the reason for leaving you enter are used by a program running in your own browser. They are not sent to this site or to anyone else, and they are not stored. If you copy a link to your result, your entries are written into the link after the # sign. Browsers do not send that part of an address to a server, so the link works only where you paste it.
Delivering the page
To send you a page, the hosting service has to receive the technical details of your request: your IP address, the time, the address you asked for, your browser and system type, and the response. It uses these to deliver the page and to protect the site against abuse. The site's operator does not receive these records as a file and does not use them to identify anyone or to build a profile.
The hosting and network provider is Cloudflare, Inc., in the United States. It answers each request from a data centre close to the reader, which for a reader in Australia is normally in Australia, but the service itself is run from the United States.
What the site does not use
- Cookies and similar storage. None. See Cookies.
- Analytics or tracking. None.
- Advertising. None is shown, and no advertising company receives data from this site.
- Third-party scripts, fonts or embedded content. None. The page loads only from this site.
- Accounts, newsletters, comments or forms. None.
If you write to us
The only way information reaches the site's operator is an email you choose to send to the address above. Cloudflare forwards the message to a personal mailbox held with an email provider. The message and your address are used to read and answer you, and to check a correction you reported. Each email thread is kept for about a year after its last message and then removed. If your message led to a correction, all that is kept after that is a short note of what was corrected, with no name or address; a longer period applies only where a law requires it. Please do not send information you would not want stored, such as a tax file number or bank details; no reply needs them.
Because the mailbox and the operator are outside Australia, the message is handled in the United States and Mexico.
Your rights
You may ask whether any information about you is held, ask for a copy, ask for a correction or ask for it to be deleted. Write to the address above. There is no form and no charge. Since the site collects nothing, there will usually be no record to show unless you have written to it, and the reply will say so.
If you are in Australia and think your information has been mishandled, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au. You can also complain to the site's operator first.
Changes to this page
If the site ever collects anything, for example by showing advertising, this page is changed first and the change is recorded on What's new before it takes effect.
