This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit and use this website (the "Website").
We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Do Not Provide Directly
This Website does not require user registration and does not ask users to provide personal information to use its core features.
1.2 Automatically Collected Information
When you visit the Website, limited information may be collected automatically, including:
- IP address (anonymized/truncated where supported by the tool)
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system

- Referring website
- Approximate geographic location (city or country level)
This information is used only for analytics, security, and service improvement purposes.
1.3 Service Data You May Provide
Core tools (time conversion, planner) work without registration. If you choose to save/share meeting data, connect a calendar, or sign in with Google, we may store the meeting/session details you submit (e.g., participant names or labels, time slots, titles) and your Google account email to enable the feature. You can request deletion of this stored data at any time (see Contact).
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Measure traffic and usage patterns
- Understand how users interact with the Website
- Improve performance and user experience
- Show advertising where enabled
Cookies used on this Website do not directly identify you as an individual.
Where required by applicable law, cookies that are not strictly necessary are used only after obtaining user consent through a cookie banner or consent mechanism.
You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time through your browser settings or the cookie settings provided on the Website.
3. Analytics and Advertising
3.1 Analytics
We may use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager or privacy-focused alternatives) to understand how visitors use the Website. These tools collect usage data (pages viewed, device/browser info, approximate location) and can be configured to anonymize IP where supported. Non-essential analytics only load after consent where required.
3.2 Advertising
The Website may display advertisements from third-party partners such as Google AdSense (served via Google Tag Manager). These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to display relevant ads and may process data (e.g., cookie IDs, coarse location, device info). Advertising cookies are loaded only after consent where required.
Advertising partners process information under their own privacy policies and may transfer data outside your region under appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses). You can withdraw or change cookie/ads consent at any time via your browser or the cookie controls provided.
4. How We Use Information
Collected information may be used to:
- Operate and maintain the Website
- Improve tools, features, and usability
- Analyze usage trends and performance
- Ensure security and prevent abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell personal data.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, personal data is processed on the following legal bases:
- Consent — for non-essential cookies/analytics/advertising where required
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the Website
- Legal obligation — where processing is required by law
6. Data Retention
We retain collected data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
7. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers (such as analytics or advertising providers) strictly for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
All such providers are required to process data in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Some providers (e.g., Google) may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When that occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
