Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how TimeQQ.com (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles your information. Our goal is to be transparent while providing you with powerful time tools that respect your privacy.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We have designed TimeQQ.com to be as privacy-friendly as possible. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or physical address.
2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
To enhance your experience, our tools use your browser’s Local Storage and Session Storage. This allows the website to remember your settings and data without sending it to our servers. This information is stored exclusively on your own device and browser. We do not have access to it.
- Your list of cities in the World Clock and Meeting Planner (Local Storage).
- Your saved alarms, including labels and sound preferences (Local Storage).
- Your list of tasks in the Pomodoro Timer (Local Storage).
- Your preferred theme, either Light or Dark Mode (Local Storage).
- Your IP address and location data for automatic timezone detection (Session Storage, which is cleared when you close the tab).
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser’s cache and site data for TimeQQ.com.
3. Third-Party Services and APIs
To provide accurate and rich features, our Service utilizes several third-party APIs. These services may receive your IP address as part of the request.
- Geo-IP Services (ipwho.is, ipgeolocation.io): To automatically detect your local timezone, we send a request containing your IP address to these services.
- Holiday Data (Calendarific API): To display holidays for your location, we send your country code (derived from your IP address via Geo-IP) to the Calendarific API.
- Time Data (TimeZoneDB): Our server periodically synchronizes with TimeZoneDB to ensure our base time is accurate. This process happens on our server and does not involve your personal data.
- Weather API (weatherapi.com): We utilize this service to display accurate weather information for selected cities. The API requests are made using **static Lat/Lng coordinates retrieved from our database**, and do not use live location data from your device.
- OpenStreetMap (Map Display): We utilize OpenStreetMap to provide visual maps for locations. This service processes the **static coordinates** of the city and does not collect direct user location data.
- Advertising (Google AdSense): We use Google AdSense to serve ads on our website. Google uses cookies to display advertisements based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing history. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
4. Changes to This Privacy 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.
