1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing and using How Old Am I? (the "Site"), available at secondsalive.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.
2. Description of Service
How Old Am I? is a free, client-side age calculator and life statistics tool. The Site allows users to enter their birthdate and view calculated age data including exact age, total days/hours/minutes/seconds lived, estimated heartbeats, estimated breaths, and other life statistics. All calculations are performed in the user's browser and no personal data is transmitted to or stored on our servers.
3. Accuracy of Calculations
While we strive to provide accurate calculations, all results are estimates and should be treated as such. Specifically:
- Age calculations are based on the date you provide and the current date and time as reported by your device. They do not account for your exact time of birth.
- Heartbeat estimates use an average resting heart rate of 70 beats per minute. Actual heart rates vary by individual, age, fitness, and activity level.
- Breath estimates use an average respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute. Actual breathing rates vary widely.
- Sleep estimates assume 8 hours of sleep per night, which is a general recommendation and may not reflect individual habits.
- Life expectancy data is based on published country-level averages and does not predict any individual's lifespan.
The Site is intended for entertainment and informational purposes only. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical, health, or actuarial advice.
