Clock.ms is committed to your privacy. This policy explains exactly how we handle your data.
Clock.ms does not collect, store, process, sell, share or transmit any personal information from any user, anywhere in the world. All time calculations are performed entirely within your own browser using your device's local clock. No data ever leaves your device to our servers. There is nothing for us to store, share or delete, because we never receive it in the first place.
Clock.ms ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at www.clock.ms. We provide a free online world clock, time zone converter, and exact time reference tool for personal, professional and educational use. This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of the Clock.ms website, regardless of their country of residence.
We collect no personal data whatsoever. Specifically, we do not collect, request, store or process:
All time calculations, time zone conversions and world clock displays on Clock.ms are processed locally in your browser using JavaScript and your device's system clock. These values are never transmitted to any server operated by Clock.ms.
Clock.ms is a fully static website. This means:
While Clock.ms itself collects no data, we use the following third-party services which operate under their own privacy policies:
We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve personalised advertisements based on your browsing history. This data collection is governed entirely by Google and subject to the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com. EU/UK users may also manage their consent via Google's Consent Management Platform.
Our web hosting provider may automatically log standard server access data (such as IP addresses, browser type and pages visited) in server log files for security and operational purposes. This data is not shared with Clock.ms and is governed by the hosting provider's own privacy policy.
Clock.ms does not set any first-party cookies. We do not use cookies for tracking, analytics or advertising. Third-party services such as Google AdSense may set their own cookies — please refer to their respective privacy policies for details. You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Because Clock.ms does not collect or store any personal data about you, there is no data to access, correct, delete or transfer. We cannot fulfil a data subject access request because we hold no data about any individual.

Clock.ms is a general-purpose utility website suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union, as applicable under GDPR). Since we collect no personal data from anyone, our website is inherently safe for use by children. Parents and guardians should be aware that third-party advertising services (Google AdSense) may serve advertisements — please refer to Google's privacy controls for family-safe settings.
Because we collect no personal data, there is no personal data at risk of a security breach on our systems. All time calculations and inputs remain on your device and are never transmitted. We recommend using an up-to-date browser and keeping your device software current as general good practice for online security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date at the top.
