Privacy Policy

1. Overview

AlarmClock.live operates online browser utilities including alarms, countdown timers, precision stopwatches, world clocks, and productivity timers. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how it is handled, and your choices regarding data storage, advertising, and analytics.

2. Local Browser Storage (Client-Side)

To retain your configuration across browser sessions without requiring account registration, AlarmClock.live utilizes browser localStorage. Data stored locally may include:

• Configured alarm times, labels, repeat schedules, and enabled/disabled states.
• Selected audio chime presets and user-attached media URLs.
• Timer durations, stopwatch lap intervals, and Pomodoro session preferences.
• Display settings such as 12-hour or 24-hour time formats.
• Affirmative privacy consent selections.

This information resides exclusively on your device's browser profile. It is never transmitted to, collected by, or stored on AlarmClock.live servers. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings or using the "Choices" option on our website.

3. Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense & Third-Party Vendors)

AlarmClock.live displays advertisements delivered by third-party advertising partners, primarily Google AdSense. To ensure compliance with global ad standards and transparency:

• Third-Party Cookies: Google and other third-party vendors use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites across the internet.
• Personalized Advertising: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads based on your visit to AlarmClock.live and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opting Out of Personalized Ads: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting AboutAds.info or the Your Online Choices portal.
• Google Advertising Technologies: For a comprehensive overview of how Google handles advertising data, review How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

4. Analytics Services

We use analytics tools, such as Microsoft Clarity, to evaluate site usability, analyze session trends, and optimize user experience across various device resolutions. If allowed by your consent settings, these services collect interaction data such as page clicks, scroll depth, approximate geographic location, device hardware specifications, and browser type. Processing by Microsoft is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

5. Audio, Uploads, and Microphone Permissions

AlarmClock.live offers custom sound preview and audio recording utilities. Any sound recordings or uploaded media files are held temporarily in local volatile memory and are discarded when the session ends or tab is closed. Microphone permissions are requested only when you explicitly trigger the voice recording option, and access terminates as soon as recording stops.

6. YouTube and Embedded Media

When you attach a YouTube video link to play as a wake-up chime, playback occurs through YouTube's privacy-enhanced embedded player (youtube-nocookie.com). Connecting to this embed transmits standard networking data (such as your IP address and user agent) to Google/YouTube in accordance with YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

7. User Rights under GDPR and US State Privacy Laws (CCPA / CPRA)

Depending on your geographic location, you may have specific statutory rights regarding personal data:

• European Economic Area (EEA) & UK Users (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data, object to processing, and withdraw consent for advertising and analytics cookies.
• California & US State Residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to request disclosure of categories of information collected, request deletion of data, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. AlarmClock.live does not sell personal information.

8. Managing Your Privacy Choices

You can manage your analytics and advertising cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Choices" button in the site footer navigation or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

9. Children's Privacy

AlarmClock.live does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to our site, please contact us immediately.
