Welcome to HoursCalculator.net ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate a free suite of online time and date calculators accessible at hourscalculator.net. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what choices you have.
By using HoursCalculator.net, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to serve relevant advertisements. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device.
Types of cookies we use:
- Analytics cookies – Used by Google Analytics to help us understand visitor behaviour in aggregate (pages popular, visit duration, geographic distribution). This data is anonymised.
- Advertising cookies – Used by Google AdSense to display relevant ads. These cookies may track your browsing across other websites to tailor ads to your interests.
- Functional cookies – Small cookies that remember basic preferences like your last-used calculator or dark/light mode setting.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will not remove ads; it will make them less relevant to you. For more information on opting out of Google advertising cookies, visit google.com/settings/ads.
4. Third-Party Services
We integrate the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics – Traffic analysis. Google Privacy Policy
- Google AdSense – Advertisement display. Google Privacy Policy
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to any third party. We do not share identifiable data with advertisers.
5. Advertising
HoursCalculator.net is supported by advertising revenue so we can keep all tools free. We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or adjusting your settings at google.com/settings/ads. Opting out means you may still see ads, but they will not be tailored to your interests.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect any data collected through our site. Our website is served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
HoursCalculator.net is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

- Access – Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Correction – Ask us to correct inaccurate data.
- Deletion – Request that we delete your personal data.
- Opt-out of marketing – We do not send marketing emails, so this right is not typically applicable.
