Security and data

The calculators run in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us.

Today: the free calculators

  • Every calculation happens on your device, in JavaScript we serve from our own server. No third-party scripts.
  • Times, rates and names you enter are not sent to HoursReady or anyone else.
  • The time card calculator saves your time cards (and up to 12 previous periods) in your browser's local storage so you can come back. The Clear saved data button on the calculator deletes them from this browser; clearing your browser's site data does the same. If storage is blocked, the calculator still works and says that saving is off.
  • No tracking cookies, no ad networks, no fingerprinting. Our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, page, time) for security, deleted after 30 days.
  • Fonts are served from our own domain. No requests to Google or other font services.

Later: accounts and uploads

When paid plans launch, we will store what you give us to do the job, and say so here first:

  • Account details: name, email, company, billing via a payment processor. We do not store card numbers.
  • Uploaded time-clock exports and the hours we produce from them, so you can re-download reports and keep an audit trail.
  • How long: for as long as your account is open, with configurable retention on Business and Enterprise. Deleted within 30 days of closing an account.
  • Who sees it: you and the people you invite. HoursReady staff only with your permission, to fix a problem you report.
  • A data processing agreement (DPA) will be available. SOC 2 is planned.
