Last updated: October 2026

Information We Collect

FailDays is designed to work without user accounts or login. We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers directly from you. However, when you use our website, certain information may be automatically collected:

Browser Information: Your browser type, version, language preference, and operating system as sent automatically with web requests.
Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referral sources, and general interaction patterns through analytics services.
Device Information: Screen resolution, device type (mobile, desktop, tablet), and general location data derived from your IP address (country/region level only).
IP Address: Collected by our hosting infrastructure and third-party services for security, analytics, and ad delivery purposes.

How We Use Information

The information collected is used to:

Provide and maintain our countdown timer services
Analyze usage patterns to improve user experience
Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense
Monitor and prevent abuse or security threats
Understand aggregate traffic and usage trends

Cookies & Local Storage

FailDays uses browser local storage (localStorage) to save your preferences and enhance your experience. This includes:

Reminders: Countdown reminder settings you configure are stored locally in your browser.
Milestones: Personal milestones you add to tools like Life in Weeks are stored locally in your browser.
Preferences: Theme preferences and other UI settings.

This locally stored data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Additionally, cookies may be set by third-party services such as Google AdSense and analytics providers. These cookies are governed by the respective third-party privacy policies.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data:

Google AdSense

We display advertisements through Google AdSense, which may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to FailDays and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website. It collects information about page views, session duration, bounce rates, and other usage metrics, and sets cookies in your browser to do so. This data is aggregated and anonymized. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data directly, there is minimal data to retain. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form by our analytics providers according to their retention policies. Browser local storage data persists until you clear it manually or clear your browser data.

Children's Privacy

FailDays is a general-audience website and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Our service does not require account creation or personal data submission. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of FailDays after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
