Privacy Policy
HoursOf believes in making finding open businesses easy, and we strive to protect your privacy. HoursOf is supported by advertising revenue, and collects only the information needed to search.
Everyone values how their personal information is used and shared, and we take this responsibility very seriously. By visiting HoursOf.com, you are accepting the practices outlined in this policy. The smaller textleft column below contains the legally binding policy, while the subsequent larger textright column has a simple summary and is not legally binding. Using HoursOf.com services acknowledges agreement to this policy.
This Privacy Policy covers HoursOf's treatment of personal information that HoursOf collects when you are on the HoursOf website and when you use HoursOf services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that HoursOf does not own or control, or to individuals that HoursOf does not employ or manage.
Information Collected
We only collect information that is essential to the purpose of the website. In order to perform a search, in addition to the query (e.g., Restaurants), HoursOf requires a location, which can be entered manually or detected automatically by the browser or system geolocation function. HoursOf will ask permission to automatically detect your location on your first visit, and depending on your browser, may remember that setting. This information is used for summary site statistics (e.g., how many visitors are looking for restaurants in New York City?) but no personally identifiable information is collected and sessions cannot be traced to individuals.
Some of the services we use to manage the Site (e.g., Google Analytics) are governed by their own Privacy Policies, but these services are run by reputable companies who also value the privacy of their users, and do not store personally identifiable information.
We only collect information that is needed to perform your search, NOTHING personally identifiable, and we do NOT sell that information, and only share summary statistics.
Cookies
HoursOf uses cookies to remember your most recent search locations. Our cookies do not collect personally identifiable information, but they do enable our system to recognize your browser.
While you are welcome to disable cookies in your browser, we recommend that you leave them activated. Please be advised that our business and technology partners, such as Google for analytics, may use cookies on our website. We have no access to, or control over, these cookies.
Much like the monster, we like cookies. They help us remember you and keep your experience intuitive and simple. Our cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
HoursOf may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, at its sole discretion. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting an announcement on the HoursOf website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances if any, it is disclosed.
This Privacy Policy may change, and we'll alert you via the website if it does. We don't, and won't, do anything sneaky here.
Conditions of Use
If you decide to visit HoursOf, your visit and any possible dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of Connecticut law.
