Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information UTC Converter ("we", "us", "the site") collects when you visit, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
1. Summary
- We do not require an account, and we do not run our own analytics or user database.
- Your timezone selections and scheduler entries stay in your browser.
- We use a small amount of localStorage to remember your interface preferences (see section 2).
- We display ads through Google AdSense, which uses cookies and similar technologies.
- You can opt out of personalised ads at any time using the links in section 5.
2. Information we collect ourselves
We do not ask you to sign in, and we do not run server-side tracking on this site. To remember your preferences between visits, the site stores a small amount of data in your browser using localStorage. Specifically:
tzc.use12Hour— whether you prefer the 12-hour or 24-hour clock format.tzc.howToOpen— whether you want the "How to use" guide expanded or collapsed.
These values are simple flags. They contain no personal information, no identifiers, and no behavioural data. They never leave your device, we never read them on a server, and we do not use them to recognise or profile you. You can clear them at any time from your browser's site-data or storage settings.
Your timezone selections and scheduler entries (names, timezones) live only in the current page and are gone when you close or reload the tab.
Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (IP address, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) for a limited period for security and abuse-prevention purposes. We do not use these logs to build profiles of users.
3. Cookies and similar storage
We do not set any first-party advertising or analytics cookies of our own. We use the two localStorage entries listed above purely to remember your interface preferences. Third-party services we use (see below) may set cookies and similar identifiers in your browser.
4. Third-party services
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. This may include information such as your approximate location (derived from IP), device type, browser, and pages visited. Some processing may occur in the United States or other countries.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
5. Your choices and opt-out
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalised ads via aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.com.
- You can clear cookies and localStorage in your browser at any time.
- You can use most modern browsers' built-in tracking-protection features to limit third-party cookies on this and other sites.
6. Children
UTC Converter is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
7. International users
The site is accessible worldwide. If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or another region with specific data-protection rules, the third-party services listed above provide their own controls and disclosures. Where consent is required, those services will request it before collecting personalised-advertising data.
8. Data we do not collect
We do not sell personal information. We do not run email marketing, and we do not maintain a customer database for this site.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Significant changes will be highlighted on the home page when reasonable.
10. Contact
Questions or requests about this policy can be sent to us via the Contact page. Please mention "Privacy" in your subject line.
