Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 April 2026

Google AdSense Advertising: This website displays advertisements powered by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history on this and other websites. See section 3 for full details on how we use Google AdSense and how you can opt out of personalized advertising.

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to isitapublicholidays.com ("the Site"), a free public holiday checker covering Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada, India, Singapore, Germany, France, and Japan. The Site is operated as an independent web service.

If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at: [email protected]

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information. Specifically:

No account or registration: The Site does not require you to create an account.
Email addresses (optional): If you choose to subscribe to holiday email alerts, we collect your email address solely to send you those reminders. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any alert email.
Usage data: Like all websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) automatically logs standard server access data such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used only for security and performance purposes and is not sold.
Cookies & local storage: The Site may store your selected country and region in your browser's local storage so your preference is remembered on return visits. No personal data is stored in local storage.

3. Advertising — Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this Site. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our Site, please see: How Google uses data from sites that use Google services .

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Deliver the holiday checking service to you
Send holiday reminder emails (only if you have subscribed)
Monitor and improve Site performance and security
Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Cookies

The Site uses the following types of cookies and storage:

Functional (local storage): Stores your country/region preference. No expiry — cleared when you clear browser data.
Advertising (third-party): Google AdSense sets cookies to enable personalised advertising. You can manage these via your browser settings or the Google Ads opt-out link above.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling advertising cookies will not affect your ability to use the holiday checker — ads may simply be less relevant.

6. Data Retention

Email addresses collected for holiday alerts are retained until you unsubscribe. Server access logs are retained for up to 30 days by our hosting provider for security purposes, after which they are deleted.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (e.g. your email address from our alerts list).

Opt-out: Unsubscribe from email alerts at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

9. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
