Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

Flip Clock Online ("we", "us", or "our") provides a collection of free browser-based time tools, including Flip Clock, Digital Clock, Online Timer, Stopwatch, World Clock, Current Time pages, and other time-related utilities.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. We are committed to keeping the Service simple, privacy-friendly, and transparent.

1. Information We Collect

We intentionally collect only the minimum amount of information necessary to operate and improve the Service.

Local Preferences Stored on Your Device

Many features of the Service allow you to customize your experience. Depending on the tool you use, preferences such as the following may be stored locally in your browser:

• 12-hour or 24-hour time format;
• Whether seconds are displayed;
• Theme or color preferences;
• Fullscreen preferences;
• Timer-related settings;
• Stopwatch-related settings;
• Other interface preferences.

These settings are stored using your browser's local storage and remain on your device. They are not transmitted to our servers and are not shared with third parties.

Anonymous Usage Statistics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use the Service.

Google Analytics may collect anonymous information such as:

• Pages visited;
• Approximate geographic region, such as country or region;
• Device type;
• Browser and operating system;
• Preferred language;
• Referral source;
• Session duration;
• General interaction with the website.

This information is aggregated and cannot reasonably be used by us to identify you personally.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information only to operate and improve the Service.

To Provide the Service

Local preferences allow the Service to remember your settings across visits on the same browser and device.

To Improve the Service

Anonymous analytics help us understand:

• Which tools are used most frequently;
• Which devices and browsers require better support;
• How visitors navigate the website;
• Which pages may benefit from usability improvements;
• General website performance.

To Maintain Reliability

Usage statistics and technical information help us monitor website stability, diagnose problems, and improve overall performance.

3. Third-Party Services

Flip Clock Online currently uses Google Analytics as its primary third-party analytics service.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure anonymous website usage and generate aggregated reports.

We use these reports to better understand overall website usage and improve our services.

We do not:

• Require user accounts;
• Combine analytics with personally identifiable information;
• Use Google Analytics for personalized advertising.

For more information about how Google processes data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Terms.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

Local Storage

Most customization features rely on your browser's local storage rather than cookies.

This allows your preferences to remain on your own device without being transmitted to our servers.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect anonymous usage statistics.

These cookies help us understand overall traffic patterns and improve the website.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.

5. Data Retention

Local preferences remain stored on your device until you remove them by clearing your browser data or using a different browser or device.

Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to the retention settings configured in our Google Analytics account and Google's own data retention policies.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information processed through the Service.

All traffic to Flip Clock Online is served over HTTPS to help protect data transmitted between your browser and our website.

Although no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we follow generally accepted security practices and intentionally minimize the amount of information we collect.

7. Your Choices

Browser Controls

You may clear your browser's local storage or cookies at any time.

Doing so may reset your saved preferences, but the Service will continue to function normally.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

If you prefer not to have your website activity measured by Google Analytics, you may install Google's official Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that personal information relating to a child has been provided to us unintentionally, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, legal requirements, or operational practices.

When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
