Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 6, 2026. This policy explains how It's World O'Clock handles information when you use the site, including advertising partners such as Google AdSense.
Who we are
It's World O'Clock is a free website at itsworldoclock.com that helps you compare local times across cities and plan meetings across time zones. Contact: hello@itsworldoclock.com.
Information we collect
We do not require accounts and we do not run a user login database on this site.
- On your device only: your city list and 12-hour/24-hour preference may be saved in your browser’s local storage so converter settings persist between visits.
- If you email us: we receive whatever you include in the message (for example a city request or bug report).
- Hosting: our host (Hostinger) may process standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and request times) as part of serving the site securely.
- Advertising and measurement: when ads are enabled, Google and related advertising partners may collect or receive data through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies as described below.
Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies
Essential / preference storage. Local storage is used for converter preferences on this device (for example saved cities and clock format). That storage is not an advertising cookie.
Advertising (Google AdSense). We may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services to show ads and help keep the site free. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- serve and measure ads on this site;
- limit how often you see an ad;
- understand how ads perform; and
- in some cases personalize ads based on your activity on this site or other sites, subject to your settings and applicable law.
Google’s use of information for advertising is governed by Google’s policies. Learn more in Google’s advertising technologies and Google Privacy Policy.
Fonts and delivery. The site may load fonts or other assets from third parties (for example Google Fonts). Those services may receive standard request data under their own terms.
Consent where required. In regions that require consent for non-essential cookies or personalized ads (for example the EEA/UK), we intend to present a consent experience (such as a Google-supported consent message / CMP) before non-essential advertising cookies are used for those purposes. Until that consent tooling is live, ad personalization may be limited by Google’s default regional settings.
How we use information
- Local storage stays on your device to remember cities and time format.
- Email you send is used only to respond to your request or improve the site.
- Hosting logs are used for security, reliability, and abuse prevention.
- Advertising technologies are used to display ads, measure performance, and (where allowed) personalize ads so we can operate the site at no charge to you.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information as a product. We may share or allow processing of information:
- with service providers that host or deliver the site (for example Hostinger);
- with advertising partners such as Google when AdSense or related tags run on the site;
- if required by law; or
- to protect the site, users, or our rights.
Third parties process data under their own privacy policies when you interact with their technologies.
Data retention
Browser local storage remains until you clear it or remove cities in the tool. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your request. Advertising cookies and similar technologies are retained according to each partner’s policies and your browser settings.
Your choices
- Clear site data or cookies in your browser settings at any time.
- Use browser controls that block third-party cookies (this may affect how ads work).
- Manage Google ad personalization via Google Ad Settings and related tools such as Ads Settings.
- Visit industry opt-out resources such as the Digital Advertising Alliance where available.
- Contact us about email you have sent.
Children
The site is a general scheduling 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 personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
International visitors
The site is hosted and may be accessed from different countries. If you visit from outside the country where our hosting or partners process data, your information may be processed in other jurisdictions that may have different data-protection rules.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product, advertising setup, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
