Last Updated: June 28, 2025
Overview
Digital Clock is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our online digital clock service. We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly what data we collect and how we use it.
By using Digital Clock, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
Digital Clock is designed to be privacy-focused. Here's what we collect:
- Local Storage Data: Your clock preferences (time format, display settings, theme selection) are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
- Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our service. This includes anonymous usage statistics, page views, and general geographic information.
- Device Information: Basic technical information such as browser type, screen resolution, and device type to ensure optimal display of the clock.
- Support Form Data (when you contact us): If you submit the Support form, we receive the information you provide (such as your name, email address, subject, and message) so we can respond and provide assistance.
We do NOT collect (unless you choose to provide it via the Support form):
- Personal identification information for normal browsing and clock usage
- Login credentials or account information
- Your actual location or precise geographic data
- Any sensitive personal information
How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
- Provide and maintain the digital clock service
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Improve the user experience and functionality
- Analyze usage patterns to enhance our service
- Ensure the service works correctly across different devices and browsers
Data Storage and Security
Your privacy and data security are important to us:
- Local Storage: All your preferences are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
- No User Accounts: We don't require registration or store any personal account information.
- Secure Connection: Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect any data transmission.
- Data Retention: Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' data retention policies.
Third-Party Services
Digital Clock uses the following third-party services:
- Google Analytics: For website analytics and usage statistics. Google Analytics may use cookies to track anonymous usage data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Cookies and Local Storage

- Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics may set cookies to track anonymous usage statistics.
- Advertising Cookies: If ads are shown via Google AdSense, Google may set cookies to serve and measure ads (and personalize ads where permitted).
You can clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings. This will reset your clock preferences to default settings.
You can also control personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings and learn more about opting out of interest-based advertising at aboutads.info.
