Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 14, 2026

TimerHub ("we", "our", or "us") provides free, client-side timing and productivity tools designed to operate directly within your web browser. We believe that privacy is a foundational right and that online utility tools should be honest, straightforward, and respectful of user data. This policy explains what data is collected, how local storage is utilized, how third-party advertising functions, and how you can exercise control over your personal privacy.

1. Information We Collect and Process

TimerHub is built client-first. You do not need to create an account, register, or provide personal credentials to use any timer, stopwatch, interval counter, or routine on this site. We do not collect names, home addresses, or phone numbers through normal use of our tools.

The only voluntary submission of personal information occurs if you choose to communicate with us directly via our Contact Form or direct email, where you provide your name, email address, and message contents so we can address your inquiry.

2. Browser Local Storage

To provide an optimal, interruption-free experience, TimerHub uses your browser's client-side localStorage API. This data stays entirely on your physical device, is never transmitted to our backend servers, and can be cleared at any time via your browser's settings.

• timerhub_sound_prefs: Remembers whether sound is enabled, chosen alert sound (chime, bell, digital), and master volume level.
• timerhub_theme: Remembers your preferred display theme (light or dark mode).
• timerhub_state_*: Preserves active timer parameters and running target completion timestamps so an accidental reload or tab refresh does not cause you to lose your ongoing countdown.
• timerhub_cookie_consent: Stores your preference regarding non-essential cookies.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

TimerHub is funded by advertising to keep all timing tools completely free to users worldwide. We partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to TimerHub or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the Your Online Choices consumer choice page.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We use essential cookies (and local storage) necessary to deliver core features and preserve timer continuity. Third-party advertising partners may set cookies to measure ad performance, prevent repetitive ad impressions, and deliver relevant promotions according to regulatory frameworks.

You can manage cookie preferences at any time via our Cookie Consent banner or through your browser's native cookie management settings.

5. European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), you are afforded specific data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of Access & Portability: You have the right to request information regarding any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification & Erasure: You can request corrections to incomplete information or request deletion of voluntary communications.
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: You may object to data processing activities, including targeted advertising.
• Withdrawal of Consent: Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Coordinator at privacy@timerhub.io.

6. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information:

• We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
• You have the right to know what personal information has been collected, request its deletion, and receive non-discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights.
• To opt out of the sharing of information for cross-context behavioral advertising, visit AboutAds Choices or use Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals in supported browsers.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

TimerHub is a general-audience productivity service and does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal contact information, please notify us immediately and we will promptly delete it.

8. Policy Updates & Contact

We may periodically update this policy to reflect enhancements to our timing tools or changes in legal regulations. Material modifications will be designated with an updated date at the top of this document.
