Privacy Policy
The short version: no accounts, no profiles, no user-generated countdowns. Here's the little we do touch, and why.
1. No accounts, no user-generated countdowns
You don't sign up to use alarm-clock.org. We no longer offer a custom/user-generated countdown feature — every countdown page on the site is one we've written and curated ourselves. We don't keep a database of visitor accounts or profiles.
2. Your email (only if you contact us)
If you contact us through the report or wrong-date forms, or the "share an idea" box, we only use the address you provide to follow up on that submission. We don't add you to any mailing list.
3. Analytics & technical data
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are popular (page views, approximate location, device type). This may set cookies; see Google's privacy policy for how it processes data. The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We also keep an anonymous per-page view counter, it stores a count, not who visited.
4. Affiliate links
Some pages include affiliate links, including links to Amazon through the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you click one and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and Amazon may set its own cookies when you follow such a link. Earning a commission never affects what we choose to feature. See our affiliate disclosure for the full details.
5. Abuse reports & corrections
When you submit the report form or the wrong-date form, we keep the submission (the URL, your message and, if you include it, your email) long enough to act on it. Submissions are rate-limited by IP address to prevent abuse.
6. Children
The service doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children, there are no accounts and no required personal fields anywhere on the site.
7. Changes
If we change how the site handles data, we'll update this page. The current version always lives at this address.
