1. Who we are

Holiday Overlap provides an informational tool to compare public holidays between countries. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit holidayoverlap.com (the “Site”).

2. Personal information we collect

We collect information in the following categories:

• Device & usage data: IP address, browser type/version, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps (via log files and analytics tags).
• Cookies and similar technologies: Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies set by us or third parties (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) to operate the Site, measure usage, prevent fraud/abuse, and show ads.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information.

3. Cookies & tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable Site functionality and security;
• Measure traffic and performance (e.g., Google Analytics);
• Deliver and measure advertisements (e.g., Google AdSense), including ad personalization where permitted by law and your settings/consent.

You can control cookies via your browser settings and, where required, through our consent banner. If you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly.

4. Google Analytics (GA4)

We use Google Analytics to understand Site usage. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect data such as IP address, device identifiers, and page activity. We use this information in aggregated form to improve the Site.

You can learn about Google’s data practices and opt-out choices at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout (if available for your browser).

If Analytics Advertising Features are enabled in the future (e.g., remarketing, ad reporting), we will disclose that in this Policy and provide opt-out links (e.g., https://www.google.com/settings/ads/).

5. Google AdSense (Advertising)

We display third-party ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and/or device identifiers to serve and measure ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Google and its partners may use your data to personalize ads where permitted by law and by your consent/choices.

Your options include:

• Visit https://www.google.com/settings/ads/ to manage Google ad settings;
• Visit https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ or https://youradchoices.com/ (US) for additional ad choices;
• Use our consent banner to opt in/out where required.

6. Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we process:

• Strictly necessary cookies on the basis of legitimate interests (running the Site and preventing fraud/abuse);
• Analytics and advertising cookies on the basis of your consent via the consent banner. You can withdraw consent at any time via the banner’s settings link.

7. Do Not Sell or Share / Global Privacy Control (California & US state laws)

If US state privacy laws (e.g., California) apply to us based on thresholds, we will honor opt-out rights from sale or sharing (cross-context behavioral advertising). We treat a valid Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as an opt-out preference. You can also use the footer link titled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” where available.

8. How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site;
• Measure and improve performance and content;
• Provide ads and measure their effectiveness;
• Detect, prevent, and address spam, abuse, or fraud;
• Comply with legal obligations.

9. How we share information

We share data with service providers and partners who help us run the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics, advertising), subject to appropriate safeguards. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transaction.

10. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary by data type and our service providers’ settings.

11. International transfers

Your data may be processed outside your country (including the United States). Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

12. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You also may withdraw consent for cookies where applicable. To exercise rights, contact us at contact@holidayoverlap.com.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

15. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” reflects the latest version. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
