Privacy Policy

    Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains exactly how SnapSleepCalc handles data — clearly, transparently, and with privacy as the default.

    Last updated: January 2026

    1. Privacy Overview

    SnapSleepCalc is designed to work without collecting personal sleep data. All sleep calculations are performed entirely in your browser. We do not see, store, or transmit the times you enter.

    We use minimal, privacy-focused analytics solely to understand general website usage and improve performance.

    2. Information We Collect

    2.1. Calculator Inputs

    Sleep and wake times entered into the calculator are processed locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript.

    • These inputs never leave your device
    • They are not transmitted to our servers
    • They are not stored or logged

    2.2. Contact Communications

    If you contact us via email, we collect:

    • Your email address
    • The content of your message

    This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and is never used for marketing.

    2.3. Analytics Data (Google Analytics 4)

    We collect aggregated and anonymized usage data to understand:

    • Overall traffic levels
    • Popular pages
    • General device and browser categories

    This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

    2.4. Technical & Security Data

    Our servers may automatically log limited technical information such as:

    • Browser type
    • Device category
    • Approximate geographic region (country-level)

    This data is used strictly for security, performance monitoring, and abuse prevention.

    3. Cookies & Local Storage

    3.1. Cookies

    SnapSleepCalc does not use cookies for:

    • Advertising
    • User profiling
    • Cross-site tracking
    • Personalization

    Google Analytics may set strictly necessary analytics cookies as part of its basic functionality.

    3.2. Local Storage

    We may use browser localStorage to remember user preferences, such as:

    • Time format (12h / 24h)
    • Theme preference (light / dark mode)

    This data:

    • Remains entirely on your device
    • Is never sent to our servers
    • Can be cleared at any time via browser settings

    For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

    4. Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

    4.1. Purpose

    We use Google Analytics 4 solely to understand aggregated traffic patterns and improve site usability.

    4.2. Privacy-First Configuration

    Our GA4 implementation is configured as follows:

    • IP anonymization enabled
    • Google Signals disabled
    • Advertising features disabled
    • Remarketing disabled
    • No ad personalization
    • No cross-site tracking
    • No data sharing for advertising purposes

    4.3. Hosting Platform Analytics

    In addition to Google Analytics 4, our hosting platform serves a first-party script (/~flock.js) that reports aggregated page-view and performance telemetry to a first-party endpoint (/~api/analytics) on this domain. It records technical request data such as the page URL, referrer, approximate location derived from the IP address, and browser/device type. It does not receive the times you enter into the calculator, and it is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

    4.4. Identification

    We cannot identify individual users from analytics data. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.

    5. How We Use Information

    We use collected information only to:

    • Provide and maintain the Service
    • Respond to user inquiries
    • Improve site performance and usability
    • Monitor security and prevent abuse

    We do not use data for advertising or behavioral profiling.

    6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

    6.1. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

    6.2. Aggregated analytics data may be processed by Google Analytics as described above.

    6.3. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights, safety, or property.

    7. Data Security

    • All website traffic is served over HTTPS
    • No personal sleep data is collected or stored
    • Contact communications are handled securely and retained only as necessary

    8. Data Retention

    • Calculator data: Not retained (processed locally only)
    • Contact emails: Retained only as long as necessary to respond (typically ≤ 12 months)
    • Analytics data: Retained according to GA4 minimal retention settings

    9. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

    You have the right to:

    • Access any personal data we hold
    • Request correction or deletion
    • Object to processing
    • Request data portability
    • Withdraw consent at any time

    Because we collect very limited personal data, exercising these rights is straightforward.

    10. International Data Transfers

    SnapSleepCalc may be accessed globally.

    Analytics data processed by Google may be handled in countries outside your residence (including the United States), with appropriate safeguards in place under applicable data protection laws.

    11. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy as needed.

    • The "Last updated" date will reflect changes
    • Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
