Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2024
At Time Tools, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting any information related to your use of our service. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, usage, and protection.
1. Information Collection
Our application operates entirely within your browser and does not collect or transmit personal information to any servers. We utilize local browser storage exclusively for the following purposes:
- Storing timer settings and states
- Saving alarm configurations
- Remembering your preferred world clock locations
- Maintaining stopwatch lap records during sessions
2. Local Storage Usage
All data is stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
3. Browser Notifications
For alarm and timer functionality, we request permission to send browser notifications. This permission is entirely optional and can be revoked at any time through your browser settings. These notifications are processed locally and do not involve external servers.
4. Usage Tracking and Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This service may use cookies and collect anonymous usage data such as:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Your browser type and operating system
- Your country or region
- Basic device information
This data is processed in a way that does not identify individual users. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics for website usage analysis. Google Analytics’ use of your data is governed by their own privacy policy. Apart from Google Analytics, we do not integrate with any other third-party services, analytics providers, or advertising networks. Our core application features (timers, alarms, world clock, and stopwatch) operate independently and do not share your locally stored settings with any external services.
6. Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device, security of your information depends on your browser’s security features. We recommend keeping your browser updated and using secure browser settings to protect your locally stored data.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our service is available to users of all ages. As we do not collect any personal information, no special provisions are required for users under 13 years of age. However, we encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage.
8. Changes to Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of our service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
9. Contact Information
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us through our website.
