Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Online Overtime Calculator (onlineovertimecalculator.com). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data privacy, how we process information when you access or use our website, and your rights concerning your personal data.

By visiting or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our site.

2. Zero Collection of Financial & Calculation Data

Our calculators are engineered to function client-side using JavaScript. This means:

• Your hourly wage, daily hours worked, weekly overtime hours, and gross pay calculations are computed in your browser memory.
• We do not send your financial entries to external databases or servers.
• We do not build profiles of individual wages, payroll records, or job roles.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

Like standard websites on the internet, our hosting infrastructure and content delivery network (CDN) may automatically log non-personally identifiable diagnostic information to maintain site reliability, security, and uptime. This may include:

• Browser & Device Information: Browser type, operating system version, screen resolution, and preferred language.
• Traffic & Usage Metrics: Approximate geographic region (country or state level), referring webpage URL, date and time stamp of requests, and pages visited.
• IP Addresses: Processed temporarily at the network boundary for security inspection, rate limiting, and DDoS prevention.

4. Local Storage & Cookies

Our website uses browser localStorage exclusively to save your UI preferences for convenience across sessions:

• Dark Mode Setting: Remembers whether you prefer light or dark visual theme (localStorage.getItem('theme')).
• State Selection: Remembers your chosen U.S. state in the calculator so you don't need to reselect it on every visit.

These values reside strictly on your local browser and can be cleared at any time via your browser settings. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels to monitor you across other websites.

5. How We Use Collected Information

Any technical telemetry gathered is used solely to:

• Deliver, protect, and optimize website performance and loading speeds.
• Diagnose technical bugs, broken routes, or calculation anomalies.
• Defend against malicious automated attacks, spam, or denial-of-service attempts.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party providers (such as hosting networks, font CDNs like Google Fonts, and security firewalls) to serve static assets securely and rapidly. These entities process metadata in accordance with their respective industry-standard privacy and security policies.

7. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) & GDPR

We respect the privacy rights of all users, including residents of California and the European Economic Area:

• Right to Know & Access: You may request confirmation of what data we possess. Because we do not require account registration or store payroll inputs, we do not link calculation inputs to your identity.
• Right to Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of any personal data you have directly provided to us (e.g., via contact emails).
• No Sale or Sharing of Data: We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information to third parties or data brokers.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our service is designed for employees, employers, and general adults requiring overtime pay calculations. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect enhancements to our tool or changes in applicable legal statutes. When modifications are made, the "Updated 2026" date at the top will be refreshed. Continued use of the website following any update signifies your agreement to the revised policy.
