Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2, 2026
Information we do not collect
The world clock works without accounts. We do not ask for your name, email address or precise location, and there is no sign-up or comment form on this site. Your time zone is read in your browser only to display your local time.
Data stored on your device
If you star a city or switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display, the choice is saved in your browser's local storage on your device. It is not sent to our servers. You can remove it at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings.
Language translation
The site is written in English. When you choose another language from the menu in the top-right corner, your browser loads Google Translate (translate.google.com). Google receives your IP address and the text of the page so it can translate it, under Google's Privacy Policy. The site stores your choice in a cookie named googtrans. Choose English to remove it. Nothing is sent to Google if you stay in English.
Hosting and server logs
This site is served through Cloudflare, which provides hosting and content delivery. Like most websites, Cloudflare may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Cloudflare's own privacy policy applies to that processing.
Advertising
This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can manage personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent message before personalized advertising is used.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are used, how long visitors stay and roughly where they come from. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (named _ga and _ga_…) to tell returning visitors from new ones; IP addresses are not stored. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland these cookies are set only after you accept the consent message. The text you type into search boxes and planners is not sent. You can opt out everywhere with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Google's handling of this data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
This site uses the Meta Pixel to measure how many people arrive from our ads on Facebook, so we can tell whether an ad is worth running. It loads only when you arrive from a Facebook or Instagram link (an ad click or a link with Meta tracking parameters), and stays off for everyone else. It records a page view, the page address and basic browser information, and Meta sets a first-party cookie named _fbp. The text you type into search boxes and planners is not sent. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the pixel waits until you accept the consent message. You can control how Meta uses this data in your Facebook ad preferences, and Meta's handling of it is described in the Meta Privacy Policy.
This site also uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure page performance. It does not use cookies and does not track you across websites.
Children
Time Atlas World is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
