Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2024

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how SimpleClock ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

We are a privacy-focused service and collect the minimum information necessary to provide our features.

• Location and IP Address Information: To provide you with localized data such as your timezone and sunrise/sunset times, we use your IP address to determine your approximate location (city, country, latitude, longitude). This process is handled by a third-party service, ipinfo.io. This information is used only for the current session and is not stored or logged by us.
• Anonymous Usage Data: To understand how our website is used and to improve our service, we use Google Analytics. This service collects anonymous data about your visit, such as your browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to personally identify you.

How We Use Your Information

• To Provide Service Functionality: Your location data is used exclusively to fetch and display accurate timezone and sunrise/sunset information for your area.
• To Improve Our Service: Anonymous usage data from Google Analytics helps us understand user behavior, identify popular features, and make improvements to the user experience.

Third-Party Services

• ipinfo.io: We use this service for IP-based geolocation. You can view their privacy policy at ipinfo.io/privacy-policy.
• open-meteo.com: We use this service to retrieve sunrise and sunset data based on the coordinates provided by ipinfo.io. This service does not receive any of your personal information.
• Google Analytics: We use this service for website analytics. Google may use cookies to collect anonymous traffic data. For more information on how Google uses data, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

Cookies and Your Choices

SimpleClock itself does not set any cookies. However, our third-party partner, Google Analytics, uses cookies to help analyze how users use the site.

You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Data Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. While we do not store personal data, we use secure protocols (HTTPS) for all traffic to our website.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
