Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 26, 2026 · Operated by SquarepegIdeas, Texas, United States
1. Introduction
BusinessDayCalculator.org is a free online business day calculator tool operated by SquarepegIdeas, based in Texas, United States. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and what choices you have.
We have tried to write this in plain English rather than legal boilerplate. The short version: we do not collect any personal information to provide the calculator. All calculations happen in your browser. No dates you enter are ever sent to our servers.
2. Information We Collect
Calculator inputs: We do not collect, store, or transmit any dates, calculations, or results you enter into the calculator. Everything runs client-side in your browser.
Vercel Analytics: We use Vercel Analytics to understand how people use the site: which pages are visited, how long people stay, and general geographic distribution of visitors. Vercel Analytics is privacy-friendly by design: it does not use cookies, does not fingerprint individual users, and does not collect personally identifiable information.
The data Vercel Analytics collects includes: pages visited, referrer URL, approximate geographic region (country/region level), browser type, device type (desktop/mobile/tablet), and page load performance metrics. No persistent identifiers are stored on your device.
Vercel Speed Insights: We also use Vercel Speed Insights to monitor real-world page performance (Core Web Vitals). This data is anonymous and aggregated.
Google AdSense:We display advertisements through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites across the web. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, visit google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
Local storage:We store your custom holiday exclusions in your browser's localStorage. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.
3. How We Use Information
The anonymous analytics data we collect through Vercel Analytics is used to:
- Understand which calculator features are most useful
- Identify technical issues (e.g., pages that load slowly or have high exit rates)
- Decide which country holiday calendars to add or update
- Improve the overall site experience
We do not sell this data or share it with third parties other than Vercel.
4. Cookies
Vercel Analytics: Vercel Analytics does not set any cookies. It uses a privacy-preserving, cookieless approach to measure traffic.
Google AdSense cookies: Google AdSense sets cookies to serve and measure personalised advertisements. These cookies allow Google to recognise your device and track browsing behaviour across sites for ad targeting purposes. You can opt out of personalised ads at Google's Ads Settings or via the NAI opt-out page.
How to opt out: Because Vercel Analytics does not use cookies or persistent identifiers, there is nothing to opt out of for our analytics. You can still disable cookies in your browser settings at any time to limit any future ad-related cookies.
5. Cookie Consent (EU/UK Visitors)
If you are visiting from the European Union or United Kingdom, Google AdSense requires that users be informed about and consent to the use of cookies for personalised advertising before those cookies are set. We use Google's consent management approach, which means personalised ads are only served after consent is obtained. You may withdraw consent at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings. If you do not consent, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalised to your browsing history.
6. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights - privacy-friendly, cookieless usage analytics and performance monitoring. Governed by Vercel's Privacy Policy.
- Vercel - website hosting and infrastructure. Vercel may log standard server access logs (IP address, request time, page path) for security and performance purposes.
- Google AdSense - advertising network. May set cookies and collect browsing data to serve personalised ads. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with any other third parties.
7. Children's Privacy
BusinessDayCalculator.org is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Data Retention
We do not store personal data on our own servers. Vercel Analytics retains aggregated, anonymized traffic data per their standard retention policy. Because no personal identifiers are collected, there is no personal data to delete.
9. Your Rights (CCPA / GDPR)
Because we do not collect personal information, there is generally no personal data for us to provide, correct, or delete. However, if you are a California resident or EU/UK resident and have specific privacy rights inquiries, please contact us at the address below and we will respond promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
