iTime.live ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. Our goal is to provide the world's most accurate time with the absolute minimum amount of data collection.
Information We Process
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). To provide our service, we temporarily process the following anonymous data:
- Timezone Information: Your browser's timezone is detected locally on your device to display "Your Local Time" correctly. This information is never stored or transmitted.
- Geolocation Data (Local Processing): If you choose to use the "Use my current location" feature in our search tool, your latitude and longitude are processed entirely locally on your device. This data is used solely to calculate the distance to the nearest city or find your "Time Twin" (a city sharing your exact time). Your precise coordinates are never sent to our servers or stored in any database.
- Atomic Synchronization: To correct your device's clock drift, the "Current Location" page fetches a timestamp from our API. This request contains no location data, only standard web headers required to establish the connection (e.g., latency measurement).
- Device Time: Your device's clock is used to calculate the "System Drift" from the true atomic time. This calculation happens entirely on your device.
- Basic Access Logs: Like all web servers, our server keeps standard, anonymous access logs (which may include your IP address, browser type, and access time) for security and troubleshooting purposes. This data is not used for tracking and is periodically deleted.
Cookies and Advertising
To support our website, we use third-party advertising companies (including Google AdSense) to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google AdSense: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- User Options: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
- Local Storage: We use your browser's Local Storage to save your preferences (such as 12h/24h format settings) to improve your user experience. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
