Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how TimeInSeconds.com ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit our website at timeinseconds.com.
1. Information We Collect
We do not directly collect any personal information from our visitors. Values you enter into our tools (clock-in/clock-out times, hourly rates, sleep times, city selections, time durations, and so on) are processed locally in your browser and are never sent to our servers.
Third-party services we use may automatically collect certain data, including:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Device type and operating system
- Referring website
Some tools (the Pomodoro Timer and the Online Timer) may also ask your permission to show browser notifications when a session or countdown ends. Granting this permission only allows the page to show local notifications on your device — no data leaves your browser.
2. Third-Party Services
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects usage data and uses cookies to track visitor interactions. This information is transmitted to and stored by Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
For more information on how Google uses data, please visit: Google Privacy Policy.
ipapi.co
Several of our tools use ipapi.co to determine an approximate location and country from your IP address. The lookup is used to suggest defaults — for example, an approximate location for the Sunrise & Sunset calculator, the regional week-numbering standard (ISO 8601 vs. US) for the Week Number calculator, or the default time format (12-hour for US/Canada/Australia, 24-hour elsewhere) for tools that show a 12h/24h toggle (such as the Sleep Calculator, Work Hours Calculator, World Clock, Time Zone Converter, Time Duration Calculator, and Sunrise & Sunset). The lookup is performed at most once per browser and the result is cached locally — your IP address is not sent to ipapi.co again on subsequent visits. We do not store this data ourselves. For details, see the ipapi.co Privacy Policy.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Our website uses cookies primarily through third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense). Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
Several of our tools also use your browser's local storage to remember things between visits, including:
- preferences such as the chosen time format (12h/24h) and the chosen week-numbering standard (ISO 8601 / US);
- a previously detected location or country code from the IP-based lookup described above;
- user-curated lists, such as the cities you have added to the World Clock or the Time Zone Converter.
This data stays on your device only; it is never sent to our servers. You can control or disable cookies and clear local storage through your browser settings; doing so may reset preferences or affect the functionality of some tools.
4. Data Retention
We do not store any personal data on our servers. Data collected by third-party services is retained according to their respective privacy policies.
5. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete data held about you by third-party services. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for information on exercising these rights.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
