Privacy & settings
Your data in TimeCubby.
Understand what stays in your browser, what a shared link contains, and how group events are stored.
Local storage
TimeCubby stores saved city lists, time-zone tool locations and working-hour preferences, timer routines and sound choices, current focus/workout sessions, round logs, multiple timers, chess clocks, stopwatch results, countdowns, and date inputs in this browser. Other people using the same browser profile may be able to see them. Private browsing or storage restrictions may prevent saving.
Cookies and account availability
Accounts are currently disabled. Existing account data is retained, but sign-in and account linking are unavailable. An anti-forgery cookie protects group-scheduling forms.
Requests and shared links
The server delivers the site, city search results, and synchronized time. City searches are sent to TimeCubby, not to an external search provider. The server contacts public NTP servers to check the time; your browser does not contact them. Normal web-server logs can contain request addresses, timestamps, and network information. Countdown details use the part of a link after the # character, which browsers do not send as part of the HTTP request. Anyone you send that complete link to can read its contents.
Group scheduling
Group event titles, descriptions, dates or recurring availability patterns, time zones, display names and availability are stored in our database so the group can collaborate. Anyone with the invitation link can view those details and join. Display names are not verified identities. The invitation is the only shared link. This browser stores private credentials to recognize the organizer and your own response; the server stores only their hashes. These credentials are never included in the invitation. Group pages are excluded from search indexing and the sitemap.
Events expire one year after creation. Access ends at expiry; the background worker removes expired database records in daily batches. Organizers can delete events earlier, and participants can remove their own responses. Server logs and backups may retain records beyond active-database deletion. Calendar downloads do not send invitation emails.
Calendar and personal dates
Personal date titles, start and end dates, categories and annual-repeat settings are saved only in this browser. They are not sent to TimeCubby's server or added to page URLs. Holiday requests send the chosen country, region and year to TimeCubby; your browser does not contact holiday providers. Printing, ICS and CSV exports include personal dates only when you select that option. Downloads are one-time files and do not create calendar subscriptions. Clearing TimeCubby data removes personal dates and calendar preferences; download a calendar backup for dates and layouts you want to keep first. A calendar JSON backup always contains all saved personal dates, saved layouts and current print settings, regardless of the Personal dates display checkbox. Backup files are read and restored locally, are not uploaded, and contain no account or group-editing credentials. Downloaded and printed copies remain wherever you saved or shared them.
Optional Google Analytics
With your permission, TimeCubby uses Google Analytics 4 to understand visits to public pages, which of our Pinterest or LinkedIn posts bring visitors, clicks on our published PDF resources, and clicks on the calendar's Print / Save as PDF button. A click does not prove that a file was saved or printed. Google also produces standard session and engagement measurements.
Google Analytics is off until you choose Allow analytics. Declining does not affect the tools. If you allow it, Google receives the public page address and title, the referring website's origin, approved campaign labels, basic browser/device information, and cookie-based identifiers used to distinguish visits. Analytics cookies last up to 90 days without extending their expiry on each visit. Your choice is stored in this browser for up to six months.
We do not send calculator inputs, personal dates, names, email addresses, event details, invitation links, URL fragments or arbitrary query parameters to Google Analytics. We exclude private group-event, editing and account pages. Automatic form, search, scroll, outbound-link and video tracking is disabled. Google signals, advertising personalization and advertising data use are disabled; no advertising accounts are linked. Event-level analytics data is retained for two months; aggregate reports may remain longer. Google's services process data on their servers, which may be outside your country. Read Google's Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).
You can change your choice below. Turning analytics off stops further collection by our Google tag and removes its analytics cookies from this browser; it does not erase information already sent. Clearing saved TimeCubby data also resets this choice. A blocked script or browser storage restriction can reduce measurement.
Optional Google Analytics is off unless you previously allowed it in this browser.
Cloudflare and site delivery
Cloudflare helps deliver and protect TimeCubby. Its performance beacon is currently enabled separately from optional Google Analytics. Cloudflare describes Web Analytics as cookie-free measurement of page visits and loading performance, without tracking people across websites. The Google Analytics choice above does not control Cloudflare's existing service. Network requests necessarily pass through the services delivering this site. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab). TimeCubby currently displays no advertisements and does not load external fonts.
Time-zone calculations and event links
Locations, labels, dates, and working-hour settings are sent to TimeCubby to calculate time-zone results. They are not saved as an event or sent to an external scheduling provider. Event time announcer links contain a title, locations, settings, and an instant after the # character. Opening the link sends its calculation settings to our server; the event title stays in the browser. Anyone with the complete link can read its contents. Downloaded calendar files also contain the title and local times. Sharing a link or downloading a file does not send invitation emails.
Timer setup links
Specialized timers run in your browser without sending timing data to the server. A copied setup link includes your entered task or step names and durations after the # character; anyone with that link can read them. It shares a configuration, not a synchronized running session. Sounds are generated on your device. Exported round logs are downloaded to your device.
Stopwatch sessions
Named laps, race participants, task totals, time-study steps and notes, swimming and running settings, and rehearsal word counts are saved only in this browser. They are not uploaded. Stopwatch tools do not record audio or monitor other apps. Copy and CSV export include names and notes you entered; review those results before sharing them. Use one tab per stopwatch tool to avoid overwriting its saved session.
Countdown plans and boards
Birthday details, wedding checkpoints, trip milestones, study estimates, excluded dates, repeating patterns and event boards stay in this browser. Their share links include those settings after the # character, where anyone holding the complete link can read them. Wedding completion checkmarks and sound choices are not included. Calendar exports contain event names and dates. Changes do not update previously shared links. These tools use the server's shared time endpoint; event details and calculations stay on your device. Use one tab per countdown tool to avoid overwriting its saved setup.
Date calculators for work and life
Birth dates, work hours, schedules, milestones, exclusions, and other date-calculator inputs are processed on this device. Specialized calculators save their inputs only when you select Remember this calculation on this device. A setup link includes the inputs after the # character; anyone holding the full link can read them. Copied results and CSV downloads include the result and its counting rules. Calculators with calendar export include the generated event names and dates in the downloaded file. Today buttons request the server time without sending the dates you entered. Automatic holidays request only the selected country, region and calendar years from TimeCubby; exact entered dates, times and workplace overrides remain on this device. The general date calculator saves its latest inputs automatically.
Clear your settings
This removes TimeCubby's saved data from this browser, including running timer and stopwatch recovery records. It also removes group-event editing access from this browser. Clearing this data removes anonymous organizer and response-editing access. It does not delete shared events, saved responses, or previously stored account data. An invitation link alone does not restore your editing access. To remove an event or your response, do that from the event page before clearing your browser data.
Export results or copy any tool setup links you want to keep first. Clearing browser data does not remove downloaded files or copies of links you have shared.
Clear this browser's saved data?
Saved cities, time-zone preferences, timer presets, timing sessions, countdowns, date inputs, and personal calendar dates will be removed. This also removes this browser's organizer and response-editing access for group events. Shared events and responses remain on the server. Clearing this browser's saved data cannot be undone.
