Privacy Policy

How Old Am I is designed to calculate an age without creating an account or storing a date of birth. This policy explains what the site does and does not collect, including how advertising is handled.

1. Who this policy covers

This policy applies to the How Old Am I website, including its age calculator, policy pages, and advertising features. In this policy, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the operator of How Old Am I.

2. Your date of birth and calculation

The age calculator runs in your browser. We do not require an account, send your date of birth to our own database, or store it as a calculator record. The result is shown in your browser session and is not saved by the calculator when you leave the page or refresh it.

Please avoid entering a date of birth into any form or service that you do not trust. This calculator is for general informational use and is not intended for identity verification or other high-stakes decisions.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

We may use Google AdSense to help support the site. When advertising is enabled in an eligible region, Google and its advertising partners may receive standard browser and device information such as your IP address, the page URL, referrer, browser and device characteristics, approximate location derived from IP, and cookie or similar identifiers. They may use that information to deliver, limit, measure, and personalise advertising in line with their own policies and your settings.

We do not intentionally provide the date you enter into the calculator to Google for advertising. Google's handling of information is governed by its own policies, including its information for partner sites and Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies and your choices

We use a small first-party preference cookie on your device to remember whether you turned advertising off. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies only when advertising is enabled. For a fuller description, see our Cookie & Advertising Policy.

You can turn site-level advertising off or back on at any time through “Advertising preferences” in the footer. You can also manage Google ad personalisation through My Ad Center, or use your browser controls to manage cookies and site data. Where supported, we honor a browser's Global Privacy Control signal by keeping advertising cookies off.

5. Regional consent

We do not load AdSense for visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland until a Google-certified, IAB TCF-integrated consent solution has been configured for those regions. The calculator remains available while advertising is off. Our advertising preferences interface does not replace a certified consent management platform where one is required.

6. Retention and security

We do not retain calculator dates or results. Your advertising preference remains in a first-party browser cookie for up to one year, unless you change it or clear browser data. Third-party advertising data is retained under the relevant provider's policies, not this site's calculator settings.

7. Your privacy rights and contact

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about personal information, request access, deletion, correction, restriction, or object to certain processing. Because we do not keep calculator records, we may not be able to identify information related to a calculator use. For questions or requests about this policy, email privacy@howoldami.online. For advertising data, you may also need to contact Google or the relevant advertising partner directly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site, advertising providers, or applicable requirements change. The latest version will appear on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
