Privacy Policy

Who We Are

countmyworkhours.com is a free website run by its owner. You can reach us at hello@countmyworkhours.com.

This policy covers this website only. Other sites we link to have their own policies.

Your Hours Stay On Your Device

Your jobs, hours, pay rates, notes and edit history are stored in your browser using IndexedDB. They are never sent to us or to any other server.

We cannot see them and cannot recover them. If you clear your browser data, they are removed, so use the backup button to keep a copy.

Share Links And Files

A share link holds the time card inside the web address itself, after the # sign. Browsers do not send that part to the server, so the data is not uploaded.

Anyone you give the link to can read it. PDFs, CSV files, backups and calendar files are made on your device and saved where you choose.

What We Collect, And Why

• Your hours, pay and notes: nothing. They stay in your browser.
• Basic server logs: page requested, time, and technical details sent by every browser. We use them to keep the site running and secure.
• Feature-use counts from Google Analytics 4: for example that someone printed or exported a time card. We use them to improve the tools.
• Advertising data, once ads start: collected by Google AdSense and its partners to show and measure ads.

Cookies And Local Storage

The site uses browser storage to save your hours and settings, and a service worker so the pages work offline. These are needed for the tool to work and do not identify you.

Cookies for analytics or advertising are only used with your consent where the law requires it.

Anonymous Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to count which features are used, such as switching tools, clocking in, printing or exporting. IP addresses are anonymised.

Analytics events never contain your hours, pay, rates or notes. They record only that a feature was used.

Until you agree, analytics runs in a restricted mode that sets no analytics cookies. Google may still receive limited technical information, such as the page address and your browser type.

Google keeps analytics data for the period we set in our account, and never longer than 14 months.

Advertising

The site is paid for by advertising from Google AdSense, which starts after approval. Until then, no ads are shown.

Advertising partners may use cookies to show ads and to measure them. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, ads and their cookies are shown only with your consent, through a consent banner.

Ads are shown around the page. Advertisers cannot see the content of your time card.

You can manage personalised ads in Google Ad Settings, or opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.

Google And Other Processors

Google acts for us when it provides analytics and advertising. It may process data in the United States and other countries, under its own safeguards and terms.

Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as the pages requested and the time. They hold no hours or pay data.

The timesheet template links open Google Sheets. Google handles anything you type into your own copy under its own privacy policy.

Google explains how it uses data from sites like this one at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Reminders

Clock-out reminders are shown by your own browser while the page is open. They are not sent from a server. A calendar reminder is a file saved on your device.

Your Rights

We hold no record of your hours, so there is nothing for us to look up, correct or delete. You control that data by clearing your browser storage.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data. These can include access, correction, deletion, objection and withdrawing consent. Ask us at the contact address, and we will reply within a month.

You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Your Choices

• Clear your browser data to remove every hour and setting stored by the site.
• Change your cookie choices from the consent banner once it is shown.
• Use your browser settings or a content blocker to block cookies. The tool still works.

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the bottom.
