🌐 Why WorldTimeAtlas?

Most world clock tools are cluttered with ads, require you to create an account, or bury basic features behind paywalls. WorldTimeAtlas.org was built on a different philosophy: a beautiful, fast and respectful tool that does exactly what it promises — instantly, privately, and for free.

We believe that knowing what time it is in Tokyo or New York should not require giving away your email address or watching an advertisement. WorldTimeAtlas will always be free and always be clean.

📞 Contact & Feedback

WorldTimeAtlas is a passion project and your feedback shapes what gets built next. If you encounter a bug, have a feature suggestion, or want to see a city added, we'd love to hear from you.

📌 1. Our Privacy Promise

WorldTimeAtlas.org was designed from the ground up to be privacy-safe. We do not build advertising profiles, we do not sell data, and we do not require any personal information to use our service. Every feature — world clocks, alarms, stopwatch — works entirely within your browser.

📌 2. Information We Collect

• No personal data — We collect no names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifying information. No account is required to use WorldTimeAtlas.
• Anonymous analytics — We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization to collect aggregate, non-personal usage statistics (page views, session duration, browser type, country-level location). This data cannot identify you as an individual.
• localStorage (device only) — Your theme preference (dark/light), saved alarms and stopwatch data are stored locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is inaccessible to us.
• Time zone detection — Your browser's local timezone is read to display your local time. This is processed entirely on your device and never transmitted to our servers.

📌 3. How We Use Information

• Service operation — Displaying world clocks, processing alarms and running the stopwatch entirely within your browser
• Analytics — Understanding aggregate usage patterns to prioritize improvements (e.g. which cities are most viewed, which features are most used)
• Security — Detecting unusual traffic patterns to protect the integrity of the service

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, remarketing or any commercial purpose beyond operating WorldTimeAtlas.org.

📌 4. Cookies & Local Storage

You can disable or delete all cookies and localStorage data via your browser settings at any time without affecting the core functionality of WorldTimeAtlas.

📌 5. Third-Party Services

• Google Fonts — We load the Inter and Orbitron typefaces from Google's CDN (fonts.googleapis.com). Google may log font requests per their own privacy policy.
• Google Analytics — Anonymous traffic measurement with IP anonymization enabled. No advertising features are used. See Google's Privacy Policy.

We do not use any advertising networks, social media pixels, retargeting tools or third-party data brokers.

📌 6. Your Rights (GDPR · CCPA · LGPD)

• Right to Access — Since we hold no personally identifiable data, there is nothing to access on our servers. All your data is already on your device.
• Right to Erasure — Clear all WorldTimeAtlas data: Browser Settings → Privacy → Clear Site Data (or Clear localStorage)
• Analytics Opt-Out — Install the Google Analytics Browser Opt-out Add-on
• California Residents (CCPA) — We do not sell personal information. You have the right to know what data we process and to opt out of any sale (which we do not conduct).

📌 7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

WorldTimeAtlas.org is safe for all ages and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EU/UK). If you believe a child has inadvertently provided personal information through our service, please contact us immediately.

📌 8. Data Security

WorldTimeAtlas.org is served exclusively over HTTPS (TLS encryption). All alarm and preference data is stored only in your browser's localStorage and is inaccessible to us or any third party. We hold no copies of your personal data on our servers.
