Privacy Policy
The short version
- iAlarmClock runs in your browser. We don't have your data because we don't collect it on our servers.
- Alarms, timers, and preferences are saved to your browser's local storage on your device.
- We use Google Analytics for anonymous, aggregate page-view statistics.
- We display ads via Google AdSense, which may use cookies (details below).
- We do not sell personal information.
Information we don't collect
iAlarmClock does not require an account, does not ask for your name or email, and does not transmit your alarms, timers, lap times, or other usage data to our servers. There is no server-side database of users. Your alarms exist only in your browser, on your device.
Information stored on your device
To remember your alarms and preferences between visits, iAlarmClock uses your browser's localStorage, a standard web technology. This data is accessible only to iAlarmClock running in your browser, only on your device. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to count page views, understand which tools are most used, and see how visitors find the site. Google Analytics may set cookies and process limited information including:
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Approximate geographic location (city/country level)
- Browser type and operating system
- Referring URL (the link or search that brought you here)
This data is processed in aggregate and is not linked to any individual identity. Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.
Advertising
Some pages display ads from Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site or other sites on the internet.
You can:
- Opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of third-party vendor cookies via aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com.
Children's privacy
iAlarmClock is a general-audience tool. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through any contact form, please let us know and we will delete it.
International users & GDPR
iAlarmClock is accessible worldwide. Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, most data-subject rights under the GDPR (access, deletion, portability) do not apply to us — there is nothing we hold to act on. To remove data stored in your browser, clear your site data for ialarmclock.com. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking on all sites, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Data retention
Locally stored preferences remain in your browser until you clear them. Google Analytics data retention follows Google's defaults (typically 14 months for user-level data).
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
