2. Data we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Contact data: email address and name if you subscribe, contact us or contribute research context.
• Contribution data: salary ranges, source suggestions, tool notes, role titles, regions, reports or questions you choose to submit.
• Usage data: page views, referrers, device information and interaction patterns, collected through privacy-conscious analytics where enabled.
