Privacy Policy
Our calculators run entirely in your browser. We never receive, store or share your date of birth, weight or any other answer you type in. This page explains what the rest of the site does collect, for analytics and advertising, and the choices you have.

What the calculator does with your answers
Nothing leaves your device. All calculations run in JavaScript on the page. Your answers are not sent to our server, not saved in cookies and not included in analytics events. If you share a result, the link you share opens the calculator and contains none of your answers. When you close or reload the page, your answers are gone.
If you install the death clock app, your phone stores copies of our pages and scripts so the calculator works offline. It does not store your answers.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to count visits, see which pages are useful and find problems. It records things like the pages you visit, your approximate location (country or city level), device type and how you arrived. We also count clicks on “calculate” and “share” buttons, without any of your answers. Where the law requires it, analytics only runs after you agree through our cookie banner.
Advertising
The site is funded by display ads, served by Google AdSense and possibly other ad networks in future. Ad networks may use cookies or similar technology to show ads and measure them, and, if you agree, to personalise them. Ad networks cannot see what you type into the calculator. You can manage Google ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
Cookies and consent
Before any advertising or analytics cookies are set for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we ask for consent through a cookie banner using Google Consent Mode. You can change your choice at any time through the “Privacy choices” link at the bottom of the page. The site also stores your light or dark mode choice in your browser.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe and the UK or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to processing and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data. Because we don’t collect calculator answers, we hold no health data about you. For analytics and ads data, use the choices above or contact us.
Children
The site is for a general audience. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from children.

Our privacy policy in plain English
This privacy policy can be summed up in a few lines. The rest of this page explains each point in simple words.
- The calculators run in your browser. Your answers are not stored and not sent to us.
- There are no accounts and no sign-ups, so we never ask for your name or email to use the site.
- Google Analytics counts visits so we can see which pages help people.
- Display ads pay for the site. Ad networks may use cookies, but they can’t see your calculator answers.
- Where the law requires it, we ask before setting analytics or ad cookies.
- You can change your cookie choice at any time.
What this privacy policy covers
This privacy policy covers every page on Death Clock Calculator, including the calculators, guides, country pages and the installable death clock app. It explains what happens to your answers, what analytics and ads record, and the choices you have.
Other websites we link to, such as the UN or WHO data pages, are run by others. Each has its own privacy policy, so read theirs if you have questions about them.
What stays on your device
When you use a calculator, the maths happens in JavaScript inside your browser. Think of it like a pocket calculator that happens to be on a web page. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
| Item | Kept? | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Date of birth, weight and other answers | No | Gone when you close or reload the page |
| A result link you share | No answers inside | It opens the calculator only |
| Light or dark mode choice | Yes | Your own browser |
| App copies of pages and scripts | Yes, if you install the app | Your phone, so it works offline |
| Analytics and ad data | Yes, see below | Google Analytics and ad networks |
Why we don’t hold health data
This is the most important point in this privacy policy. A question like “do you smoke?” is personal. That is why the site was built so that your answers never reach us. We keep no store of calculator results and no health records.
This also means we can’t look up a past result for you or delete one, because we never had it. If you want to keep a result, take a note or a screenshot on your own device.
Analytics, explained simply
Google Analytics tells us things like how many people visit a page, their rough location (country or city level), the type of device and how they found us. We also count clicks on the “calculate” and “share” buttons. These counts never include your answers.
We use this to find pages that confuse people, fix problems and decide what to improve next.
Ads, explained simply
Death Clock Calculator is independent and funded by display ads only. Ads are served by Google AdSense and possibly other ad networks in future. Ad networks may use cookies to show ads, measure them and, if you agree, personalise them. They can’t see what you type into the calculator.
You can manage Google ad personalisation at the settings link in the advertising section above. Nothing in this privacy policy lets an ad network see your calculator answers.
How to use your choices under this privacy policy
- If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will see a cookie banner before any analytics or ad cookies are set.
- To change your choice later, use the “Privacy choices” link at the bottom of any page.
- To manage Google ad personalisation, use the Google ad settings page.
- For any other question about this privacy policy, email us.
Changes to this privacy policy
The “last updated” date at the top of this privacy policy shows when it last changed. Please check it if you come back after a while. The data behind the calculators comes from public sources such as the UN World Population Prospects, and using that data involves no personal information about you.
