Privacy Policy - UniversalTimeDate Data Protection

Last updated: August 31, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to UniversalTimeDate. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of information through our website and services, in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations.

Information We Collect

We believe in privacy by design. Our services are built to be used without collecting personally identifiable information.

Personal Data: We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information like your name or email address to use our tools. Information entered into our tools (like birth dates or cities) is processed in your browser and is not stored on our servers.
Location Data: To provide localized content (like your default timezone), we may request access to your browser's location data. This is optional. If you deny permission, we infer a general region based on your IP address to determine which privacy regulations apply (e.g., GDPR). Your precise location is never stored.
Consent Information: We store your cookie consent choices (e.g., whether you accepted analytics) in your browser's `localStorage`. This information is not linked to any personal identifier and is used solely to respect your privacy choices on subsequent visits.

Cookies and Analytics

We use a limited number of cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and to understand how our site is used.

Necessary Storage: We use `localStorage` to save your customized dashboard settings (e.g., cities on the World Clock) and your consent preferences. This is essential for site functionality and does not track you.
Google Analytics: If you are outside the EU/UK and consent, we use Google Analytics with cookies to collect anonymous, aggregated data about site usage (e.g., popular pages, session duration). This helps us improve our tools.
Cookieless Analytics (EU/UK/CH): For users in regions with strict privacy laws, Google Analytics operates in "Consent Mode." If you do not consent to analytics, it sends cookieless, non-identifying pings for basic measurement. No personal data is collected or processed.
Microsoft Clarity: If you explicitly consent to analytics, we may use Microsoft Clarity to capture anonymized session recordings and heatmaps. This helps us identify and fix usability issues. Clarity is **never** loaded without your explicit consent.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads, which helps keep our tools free. Our ad configuration changes based on your region:

In the EU, UK, and Switzerland: We serve only **non-personalized ads**. These ads are based on contextual information, like the content of the page you are viewing, not on your personal data or browsing history. We do not set advertising cookies for users in these regions.
In all other regions: We may serve personalized ads based on your consent.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data on our site.

Consent Management: You can change your cookie and analytics preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer. This will allow you to grant or withdraw your consent.
Data Access: Since we do not store personal data on our servers, there is no personal data for you to access, correct, or delete. Any functional data is stored locally in your browser, which you can clear at any time through your browser settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
