1. Overview
Welcome to timecardscalculator.com. We provide a free, browser-based timecard calculator tool that helps workers and employers calculate hours worked, overtime, and pay. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how our site operates.
This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.
2. The Timecard Calculator Tool
Our core tool runs entirely in your browser. When you enter your work hours, break times, pay rates, or shift information into the calculator:
- That data is processed locally on your device
- It is not transmitted to our servers
- It is not stored, saved, or logged by us
We do not have access to any timecard data you enter into our tool.
3. Data We Do Collect
While the calculator itself does not collect your data, general website operation involves the following:
a) Usage & Analytics Data
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This may include:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website or search engine
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- General geographic location (city/country level — not precise)
- IP address (anonymized where possible)
This data helps us improve the tool and the overall site experience. It is never used to personally identify you.
b) Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
| Analytics cookies | Track site usage via Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
| Preference cookies | Remember display settings | 1 year |
| Session cookies | Maintain basic site function | Deleted on browser close |
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of the timecard calculator.
c) Comments (If You Leave One)
If our site includes a comment section and you choose to leave a comment, we collect:
- Your name (as entered)
- Your email address
- Your IP address and browser user agent (for spam detection)
Your email address is never displayed publicly. An anonymized version may be shared with Gravatar to display a profile image. See Gravatar’s privacy policy for details.
4. Advertising
We may display ads on this site through third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense). These networks may use cookies to show you ads relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across other websites. We do not control the data collected by these ad partners.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google’s Ad Settings or through the NAI opt-out tool.
5. Third-Party Services
Our site may use the following third-party services that have their own privacy practices:
- Google Analytics — website usage tracking
- Google AdSense — advertising (if applicable)
- Gravatar / Automattic — comment profile images
- Hostinger — web hosting provider
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties.
6. Embedded Content
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, social share buttons). Embedded content from other sites behaves as if you visited those sites directly — they may collect data, use cookies, and track your interactions, especially if you are logged into those platforms.
7. Data Retention
- Analytics data is retained per the Google Analytics default retention period (up to 26 months).
- Comment data is retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- No timecard input data is retained — we never receive it.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.
GDPR (EU users): We process data based on legitimate interest (analytics) and consent (cookies where required). You have full rights under GDPR.
CCPA (California users): We do not sell your personal information.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our timecard calculator is intended for general audiences, including working adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect any data associated with this site. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
