Scope
This policy applies to HolidaysCalendar.com and its English-language calendar, holiday, and download pages. The website is a public information service that visitors can use without creating an account.
If you follow a link to another website, that website's privacy practices apply. We encourage you to review the privacy notice of each third-party service you use.
Information We Collect
No accounts, registration, or website forms
We do not provide user accounts, registration, newsletter sign-up, or a website contact form. We do not directly ask visitors to submit names, postal addresses, payment information, or account credentials through the website. This does not mean that no information is processed: analytics, network-security, advertising, and email-contact information may be handled as explained below.
Website usage and device information
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a data analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use the website. Depending on your device, browser, region, and consent choices, this may include page views, referring pages, approximate location, browser and device type, language, screen size, session activity, and interactions with site features. Google states that GA4 uses an IP address at collection time to derive general location information and discards it before the address is logged in an Analytics data center.
Hosting, delivery, and security information
Cloudflare provides services used to deliver and protect the website. Cloudflare may process network and request information such as IP addresses, request headers, timestamps, requested URLs, diagnostic data, and security signals to deliver content, prevent abuse, and maintain service reliability.
Information you send by email
If you contact us at our privacy email address, we receive the email address you use, your message, and any information or attachments you choose to include. We use that information only to review and respond to your request, protect our legal rights, or meet an applicable legal obligation.
Advertising information
The website may use Google AdSense or another third-party advertising service in the future. When advertising is active, advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, IP-derived location, browser information, ad impressions, and interactions to deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads. Where required by law, advertising cookies and personalized advertising will be subject to appropriate notice, consent, or opt-out controls.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- operate, deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
- measure site traffic and understand which calendars and holiday pages are useful;
- improve navigation, content accuracy, accessibility, and page performance;
- detect fraud, abuse, automated attacks, and technical failures;
- respond to privacy requests and other messages sent directly to us;
- comply with applicable law and protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the website; and
- support and measure advertising if third-party advertising is enabled.
We do not use website data to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about individual visitors.

Google AdSense and advertising partners
Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google. If AdSense is enabled on this website, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and related technologies to serve contextual ads and, where permitted by law and your choices, personalized or interest-based ads. They may also process information to measure advertising, limit repeated ads, prevent fraud, and honor consent or opt-out choices. You can learn more fromGoogle's advertising privacy information.
Cloudflare
Cloudflare provides network delivery, security, DNS, and email-routing services. Its handling of service data is described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Legal disclosures
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or a valid government request; investigate abuse or security incidents; enforce our rights; or protect users, the public, and the website.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR or a similar law applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interests: operating, securing, measuring, and improving a public information website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Consent: using non-essential analytics or advertising technologies where consent is legally required. You may withdraw consent through any consent control made available on the website or through applicable browser settings.
- Legal obligation: retaining or disclosing information when required by applicable law.
- Steps requested by you: receiving and responding to a message or privacy request you send to us.
Data Retention and Security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, legal, accounting, and dispute-resolution needs. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of our Google Analytics property. Email correspondence is retained only while needed to address the request or satisfy a legal requirement. Third-party providers apply their own retention schedules to information they process.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a public information website. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
International Data Transfers
The website is operated from Shenzhen, China and is available internationally. Google, Cloudflare, and other service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, providers use recognized safeguards for international transfers. Their privacy notices provide additional information about their processing locations and transfer mechanisms.
Your Privacy Rights
Privacy rights depend on where you live and whether a particular law applies. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and legal exceptions may limit some rights.
European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions
Where applicable under the GDPR or similar law, you may have rights to receive information about processing, access and obtain a copy of personal data, correct inaccurate data, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, receive portable data, and complain to a competent data protection authority.
California residents
Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, California residents may have rights to know, access, delete, and correct personal information; request that personal information not be sold or shared; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and receive equal service when exercising privacy rights. We do not sell personal information for money. If advertising activity is legally treated as a sale or sharing, we will provide the notice and opt-out method required by applicable law.
