Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 27, 2026 • Effective Date: January 1, 2026
100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee
At overtimecalculator.online, we believe your earnings and hours are strictly your private business. All calculations happen entirely within your web browser. We never collect, transmit, store, or sell any hourly rates, shift logs, salary figures, or compensation details entered into our tools.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, usage, and disclosure when you visit and use overtimecalculator.online (the "Service"). We are committed to transparency and upholding a minimal-data footprint.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Unlike many payroll tools, we do not require account registration, email sign-ups, or employee IDs to use our calculators. Specifically:
- No Wage or Pay Data: Any hourly rate, annual salary, or bonus numbers you input remain exclusively in your browser memory.
- No Work Schedule Data: Hours logged in the 7-Day Shift Logger are processed locally on your device.
- No Personal Identifiers: We do not ask for or collect names, physical addresses, Social Security numbers, or employer details.
3. Local Storage & Client Cache
Our tools may use standard browser localStorage solely to preserve your active inputs (such as selected calculation rule or logged shifts) so you do not lose your place upon refreshing the page. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser cache.
4. Server Logs & Anonymous Web Metrics
When accessing any website on the internet, basic technical request information may be recorded in temporary server logs (such as internet protocol IP addresses, browser user agent, referring URLs, and timestamp of requests). This information is solely used for:
- Maintaining infrastructure uptime and security defenses against denial-of-service attacks.
- Aggregated, privacy-preserving performance diagnostics to optimize page load speeds.
5. Cookies and Third-Party Links
We do not use invasive tracking cookies or sell your activity to third-party data brokers. If external resources (such as official Department of Labor or State DLSE reference documentation) are linked, clicking those links directs you to third-party domains governed by their own independent privacy notices.
6. Children's Privacy
Our Service is intended for working adults and general workplace informational use. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or service enhancements. Any modifications will be posted here along with an updated effective date.
