Privacy policy

printable-cal.org has no accounts, no sign-up, no ads and no server that stores anything you make. This page describes exactly what happens to data when you use the site, naming every third party involved. If something is not described below, it is not running. Last updated August 16, 2026.

Your calendar never leaves your browser

This is the part that is unusual, so it goes first. The calendar grid, the holiday marks, the notes and events you type into day boxes, and the PDF itself are all produced by JavaScript running inside your own browser. There is no upload step and no rendering server: nothing you type into a calendar is transmitted to us, stored by us, or seen by anyone else, because it never crosses the network at all. When you click print or download, the file is assembled on your device and handed straight to your printer or your downloads folder.

That is a consequence of how the site is built rather than a promise we ask you to take on trust: this site has no database, no storage bucket and no application server — it is static files served from a CDN plus code that runs in your browser. There is no place for calendar content to be kept even if we wanted to keep it.

Saving is a link, not an account

When you want to keep or share a calendar, the settings travel in the URL. That means the year, month, paper size, week start and layout you chose are written into the address bar so the link reproduces the same calendar for anyone who opens it. Two consequences worth knowing: a share link is readable by whoever you send it to, so treat a link the way you would treat the calendar itself; and because the state is in the URL rather than on a server, we never see which calendar you made.

Browser storage on your device

The only thing this site’s own code writes to your browser is a small set of display preferences in localStorage — things like whether you last chose Letter or A4, and whether your weeks start on Sunday or Monday — so the tool opens the way you left it. That data never leaves your device: it is not sent to our servers, not attached to any request, and not readable by any other website. Clearing site data for printable-cal.org in your browser deletes it immediately, and nothing is lost on our side because we never had a copy. We do not use cookies of our own for any purpose.

Cloudflare: hosting and request logs

The site is served by Cloudflare. Every request to any page — yours included — passes through Cloudflare’s network, and Cloudflare processes ordinary technical request data (IP address, user agent, timestamp, requested URL) in the course of delivering the page and protecting it from abuse. This is infrastructure-level logging, not an analytics or advertising product, and it happens whether or not you interact with anything on the page. How long Cloudflare retains that request data, and what Cloudflare does with it, is governed by Cloudflare’s own privacy policy, not by ours — we do not control Cloudflare’s retention period and it would be misleading to state one here.

Microsoft Clarity

This site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how the calendar tool is actually used — which controls people reach for, where a layout confuses them, which pages get abandoned. Clarity is active. Its script is loaded only after the page has finished rendering, never on the critical path, and it sets its own first-party and third-party cookies to tell one visit apart from another and to recognise a returning visitor.

Clarity records session replay and heatmap data: pointer movement, clicks, scrolling and which controls were used. Text content on the page is masked under Clarity’s default balanced masking before it leaves your browser, which is the setting this site runs. Microsoft acts as a data processor for what Clarity collects, governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Google Analytics 4

This site also uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate traffic measurement — how many people arrive, which pages they land on, roughly where in the world they are, and which pages they leave from. Google Analytics is active. Like Clarity, its tag is loaded only after the page has rendered and only when the browser is idle, so it never competes with the calendar for the first paint.

Google Analytics 4 sets its own cookies (the _ga family) to distinguish visitors and sessions, and it records the standard page-view event with the referring page and coarse device and location information derived from your IP address. It does not record session replay and does not capture the contents of the page. Google acts as a data processor for it, governed by Google’s privacy policy. Neither analytics product ever receives the contents of a calendar, because that content is never sent anywhere by anything.

Who else sees anything

Cloudflare, Microsoft and Google, each as described above, and nobody else. There is no advertising network on this site, no affiliate tracking, no embedded social widgets, no fonts loaded from a third party, and nothing is sold or shared with data brokers. The complete list of external hosts this site can contact is www.clarity.ms, www.googletagmanager.com and the analytics endpoints those two tags call; an automated check in the build enforces that the list cannot quietly grow.

Your rights and how to reach us

You can block or delete the cookies described above at any time in your browser settings, use a tracker-blocking extension, or turn on your browser’s “do not track” controls; the calendar generator works exactly the same either way, because none of its functionality depends on analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically with Google’s browser add-on, and you can clear everything this site stores on your device by clearing site data for printable-cal.org.

Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. In practice we hold no account, no email address and no calendar content, so such a request resolves to the analytics and log data described above, which is held by Microsoft, Google and Cloudflare under their own policies. Write to contact@printable-cal.org with any privacy question and we will answer it honestly, including when the honest answer is that the data you are asking about was never collected.

Changes to this policy

If the analytics or hosting arrangements above change, this page changes in the same release — the site’s tests fail the build if the code and this page disagree about which trackers run. See also the terms of use and how the calendars are generated.
