This page is short because there is almost nothing to describe. Overtally computes in your browser, has no accounts, and keeps no record of what you type.

The rules table and the pay engine are part of the page your browser downloads. When you enter a rate and a week of hours, the arithmetic runs on your own device and the result is drawn on the screen. None of it — not the rate, not the hours, not the state or province you picked — is transmitted to us or written to a log anywhere. There is no server-side calculator for it to reach.
One thing is kept, and it is kept on your machine: so that a sheet you filled in survives a reload or a tap on another page, the calculator writes it to your browser’s own local storage. It never leaves the browser, it is not readable by us, and the Reset button on the calculator erases it. Clearing site data in your browser does the same.
A link made with Copy link carries the sheet inside the address itself rather than through any server — which also means anyone you send it to can see those hours and that rate, so treat it the way you would treat a photo of your stub.
That is a property of how the site is built, not a promise about what is done with data after it arrives. How we calculate describes the engine that runs in the page.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to, no email capture, no newsletter. The calculator works the first second the page loads.
The site sets none at all — not for tracking, not for preferences. Light or dark follows your operating system’s setting, and the site does not record which one you are using.
No analytics script, no tag manager, no session recorder, no advertising network, no social widgets, no embedded third-party frames.
The typefaces are served from this domain rather than a font CDN, so opening a page does not announce your visit to anyone else.
Serving a page means receiving a request for it, and every web server records the fact. The host that serves overtally.com keeps ordinary request logs: the IP address the request came from, the time, the address requested, and the browser’s user-agent string. They exist to keep the site reachable and to absorb abuse, they are retained by the host for a short period, and they are not used to build a profile of anyone.
Those logs cannot contain your hours or your rate. Nothing you type into a calculator ever leaves the page, so there is no request carrying it for a log to record.
The Overtally app is a separate product and carries its own privacy disclosure on its store listing. The part worth stating here is where your work goes: the shifts, rates and rules you enter live in a database file on the phone itself. There is no account, there is no sync, and your week is not uploaded anywhere.
One consequence is easy to forget. If your phone backs itself up, that file goes into the backup with everything else, under whatever protection your backup already has — which is usually what you want, since a lost phone should not take a year of wage records with it. Device backup settings control it either way.
Deleting the app deletes its database along with it. Because nothing was ever uploaded, there is no copy left on my side to export or erase.
If the site ever gains something that collects data, this page changes before that feature ships and the reviewed date at the top moves with it. There is no version of this site where the hours you type get sent somewhere without this page saying so first.
