Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 16, 2026

Flip Clock Online ("we", "us", or "our") provides free browser-based time tools, including Flip Clock, Digital Clock, Online Timer, Stopwatch, World Clock, and city time pages available on flipclock.info.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the Service, how that information is used, which third parties may be involved, and what choices you have.

1. Information We Process

Local preferences stored in your browser

Many features of the Service let you customize how the tools look and behave. Depending on the page you use, your browser may store preferences such as:

• 12-hour or 24-hour display format;
• whether seconds are shown;
• theme, color, or layout selections;
• fullscreen or interface preferences;
• timer or stopwatch settings; and
• other browser-side interface preferences.

These settings are generally stored in your browser's local storage on your own device. They are not intended to create a user profile tied to your name, email address, or account because the Service does not require registration.

Analytics information

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the website in aggregate. Depending on your browser and settings, Google Analytics may process information such as page views, approximate location, device type, browser type, operating system, language, referral source, session duration, and general interaction events.

Advertising-related information

Some pages may display advertising through Google AdSense or similar advertising products. When advertising is active, Google and its partners may process information such as IP address, browser information, device identifiers, approximate location, ad requests, impressions, and interaction with ads or page content.

Advertising technologies may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, limit repeated ads, prevent fraud, and improve reporting.

Messages you send us

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you include in your message, such as your email address, your message content, and any attachments you choose to send.

Basic hosting and security logs

Like most websites, our hosting, content delivery, and security providers may automatically process standard technical request data such as IP address, requested URL, timestamps, referrer information, and user-agent details in server, delivery, or security logs.

2. How We Use Information

We use information only for legitimate website operations, including to:

• deliver the clocks, timers, and related browser-based tools;
• remember browser-side preferences on the same device;
• understand aggregate usage and improve usability, performance, and reliability;
• detect abuse, bugs, service instability, or security issues;
• respond to questions or feedback you send us; and
• support advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, and reporting when advertising is enabled.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics as a traffic measurement service. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to help us measure aggregate website usage and generate reports.

We use these reports to understand broad usage patterns, not to require user accounts or intentionally identify you by name.

You can learn more from Google's Privacy Policy and you may opt out through Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising Technologies

We may use Google AdSense to display ads on some pages of the Service. When AdSense or other advertising products are enabled, Google and participating third parties may:

• place or read cookies in your browser;
• use web beacons or similar technologies;
• process IP address and other online identifiers;
• measure ad impressions and engagement;
• limit ad frequency, detect invalid traffic, and prevent fraud; and
• serve personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your region, browser settings, consent status, and Google's policies.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or to other websites. Google's advertising cookies may enable it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services in Google's partner sites notice. You can also review or adjust certain ad personalization settings at Google Ad Settings.

5. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies

Local storage

The Service relies heavily on local browser storage to preserve settings such as display format, visual preferences, and certain tool states on the same device.

Analytics and advertising cookies

Google Analytics and advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure traffic, understand usage, serve ads, limit repeated ads, and detect fraud or abuse.

Your browser controls

You can usually control cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Clearing browser data may reset saved preferences and may affect certain analytics or advertising features.

6. Consent and Regional Privacy Choices

Privacy laws differ by country and region. Where required by applicable law, we aim to request consent before enabling certain non-essential analytics or advertising technologies.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with consent requirements, your ad experience may depend on the consent choices you make and on Google-supported consent handling for the region.

Even when non-personalized ads are shown, vendors may still use information such as IP address, coarse location, device information, and fraud-prevention signals to deliver and measure ads.

7. Sharing of Information

We may share or make information available to the following categories of recipients:

• analytics providers such as Google Analytics;
• advertising providers such as Google AdSense and related ad technology partners;
• hosting, CDN, security, and infrastructure providers that support delivery of the Service; and
• legal or regulatory authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the Service.

8. Data Retention

Local browser preferences remain on your device until you clear them. Analytics and advertising data retention periods are determined by the settings and policies of the relevant providers, such as Google.

Email messages you send us may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, keep records of the conversation, or comply with legal obligations.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for a general audience and is not designed specifically for children. We do not knowingly require account creation from children or knowingly collect personal information from children through a registration flow because no such flow exists.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us directly by email, please contact us and we will review the request.

10. Security

We use reasonable measures intended to protect the Service, including HTTPS delivery and efforts to minimize the amount of data we intentionally collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, legal requirements, analytics or advertising practices, or operational needs. When we make material updates, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
