Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026. CheckingHours (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit checkinghours.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

CheckingHours is designed to be used without an account. We do not ask you to register, and we do not collect your name, address or telephone number simply because you browse the site.

  • Information you send us: if you email us at extractingtextfromimage.com@gmail.com, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message, such as a correction to opening hours or a request from a business owner.
  • Technical information: our hosting and analytics tools may record standard technical details, such as your approximate location (derived from your IP address), the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, your browser type and your device type. This information is aggregated and does not identify you by name.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see the Cookies section below.

How we use information

  • To run, maintain and improve the site, including fixing errors and understanding which pages are most useful.
  • To reply to messages you send us, and to correct or update opening hours you report.
  • To keep the site secure and to detect misuse or abuse.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use your email address to send marketing messages unless you have expressly asked us to.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies, including cookies set by our caching and performance tools (LiteSpeed Cache), which help pages load quickly, and cookies set by analytics and advertising partners, which help us understand how the site is used and, where advertising is shown, to show relevant adverts and measure their performance. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work, although some features may load more slowly.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to see aggregated information about visits to the site, such as which categories and brand pages are most popular. Analytics data is used only to improve the site and is not combined with information that identifies you.

Advertising

We may show advertising supplied by third-party advertising networks. Those networks may use cookies or similar technologies to show adverts that are relevant to you and to measure how often they are seen or clicked. You can learn more about how to opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the advertising network’s own privacy pages or your browser’s privacy settings.

Third-party links

Our pages link to other websites, including brand store locators and official business sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Please read their privacy policies before sharing personal information with them.

Data retention and security

Emails you send us are kept only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and to keep a record of corrections made. We take reasonable steps to protect information we hold, including limiting access to it and using secure connections where available. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

CheckingHours is a general information site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. To make such a request, email extractingtextfromimage.com@gmail.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add new features or change the tools we use. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was most recently revised. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
