Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains what data Working Days Calculator UK(“we”, “us”) collects about visitors to https://workingdayscalculator.co.uk, how that data is used, and the rights you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who is responsible for your data

Working Days Calculator UK is the data controller for the limited processing described here. For analytics and advertising, the third-party providers named below (principally Google) act as independent controllers of the data they collect through their own cookies and technologies, under their own privacy policies. If you have a question about this policy, contact us through the contact page.

Lawful basis for processing

Where we set non-essential cookies — analytics and advertising — our lawful basis is your consent, given through the cookie prompt and capable of being withdrawn at any time. Any strictly necessary processing needed to serve the site securely relies on our legitimate interests in running and protecting it. We do not rely on consent for the parts of the site that work without cookies — the calculators themselves run entirely in your browser.

What we collect

The calculators on this site run entirely in your browser. We do not ask for and do not store the dates you enter, your region selection, or any other input you provide to the calculators.

We use localStorageto remember your last-used region selection (England & Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland) so the calculator opens with the right calendar next time. This is stored on your own device and is not sent to us or anyone else.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visitor totals and see which pages are most useful. Google Analytics sets cookies that allow it to recognise return visits to the site, with IP addresses anonymised before they reach Google.

We only enable Google Analytics cookies if you accept them via the consent prompt shown the first time you visit the site. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set on your device. You can change your decision at any time by clearing your browser’s storage for this site (the prompt will reappear on your next visit).

Google’s use of data is described in its privacy policy.

Advertising — Google AdSense

We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and similar technologies to:

• Show ads relevant to your interests where you consent.
• Measure ad impressions and clicks.
• Prevent fraudulent or abusive behaviour with their service.

Google and its partners use the DoubleClick family of cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — and similar identifiers to serve and measure ads. The DART cookie enables Google and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visit to this site and other sites on the internet. These DoubleClick cookies are set on the doubleclick.net and google.com domains by Google, not by us, and only after you give consent through the cookie prompt where consent is required.

Google’s use of advertising cookies is governed by its privacy policy and its advertising and DoubleClick technologies notice. You can manage or opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings, review the vendors at Google’s ad preferences, or use the industry opt-out at youronlinechoices.eu. For EU and UK visitors, Google asks for consent to use advertising cookies where required, through its consent management framework.

Data retention

We do not store any personal data on our own servers — the calculators keep nothing, and the only on-device storage is the region preference described above, which stays on your device until you clear it. Data collected by Google Analytics and Google AdSense is retained according to Google’s own retention schedules, which you can review and, in some cases, adjust in your Google account.

International transfers

Google is a global provider and may process data outside the UK and European Economic Area. Where it does, it relies on safeguards such as the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Details are set out in Google’s privacy policy linked above.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you, the right to object to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Because we don’t collect personal data directly, requests of this kind typically need to be made to the third-party services described above (Google) rather than to us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The “last updated” date at the top will always reflect the current version.
