1. What we collect
Essentially nothing. We do not operate user accounts, newsletters, or comment systems. We do not sell data because we do not collect data to sell. Standard web-server logs (e.g. via our hosting provider) may briefly record anonymized technical data such as requested URLs and error codes for security and reliability.
2. Local storage — stays on your device
All personalization is saved locally in your browser. Clearing site data resets the app to defaults. Current keys:
| KEY | PURPOSE |
|---|---|
| fdc_theme / fdc_font / fdc_format | Theme, font and 12/24H preferences |
| fdc_seconds / fdc_date / fdc_clock_style | Clock display toggles (seconds, date, flip vs digital) |
| fdc_dual_tz / fdc_tz_zone / fdc_oled | Secondary timezone and OLED protection |
| fdc_custom_timers / fdc_timer_history | Your custom timers and completed sessions |
| fdc_world_clocks / fdc_sw_ms | Saved world-clock cities and stopwatch MS toggle |
3. Cookies
We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any cookies you see come from infrastructure (e.g. hosting security) or from fonts/CDN delivery, not from us profiling you.
4. Third-party services
- Hosting: static files served via a global CDN (Cloudflare Pages / Workers). The host may process IP addresses to deliver pages and mitigate abuse.
- Fonts: Geist, Orbitron and DSEG7 are loaded from Google Fonts / Fontsource CDNs, which may receive standard request metadata.
- Browser APIs only: Wake Lock, Fullscreen and Intl timezone features run locally — no time data is sent to our servers.
5. Children's privacy
The site is a general-audience utility with no accounts or user-generated content, and is suitable for classroom use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Changes to this policy
If we ever add accounts, analytics or new storage, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above before the change takes effect.
