Privacy Policy

Who we are

Timezones.live is a free, open timezone tool that helps people check current times around the world, compare time zones, and plan meetings across cities. The site is operated as an independent project.

Information we collect

Timezones.live does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information directly.

When you visit the site, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you visit. These logs are used solely for maintaining the service and diagnosing technical issues.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on some pages of this site. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. These cookies allow Google to display personalised ads to you across the web.

Specifically, Google uses cookies such as the DART cookie to serve ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting aboutads.info.

Third-party services

In addition to Google AdSense, we may use the following third-party services:

• PostHog — to understand how visitors use the site (page views, session duration, feature usage). PostHog may use cookies and sends event data to its servers for analytics processing.
• MapLibre GL — for rendering the interactive map. Map tiles are loaded from third-party tile servers.

Your timezone data

The quick converter feature reads your browser's timezone setting (via the Intl.DateTimeFormat API) to show times in your local timezone. This data stays in your browser and is never sent to our servers.

Data retention

We do not store personal data. Server logs are retained for a limited period for operational purposes and are then deleted. Cookies set by third-party services (Google AdSense, Analytics) are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Children's privacy

Timezones.live is a general-audience tool. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
