Privacy Policy

Overview

Welcome to Classroom Timer ("classtimer-app.netlify.app"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Our tool is designed with privacy first. Specifically:

• Student names you enter are stored only in your browser's local storage — they are never transmitted to our servers.
• We do not collect, store, or process any personal information about your students.
• We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our tool.
• We do not collect email addresses, names, or any other personally identifiable information from users directly.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we and our third-party partners (including Google AdSense) may automatically collect certain non-personal information when you visit our site:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, browser version, pages visited, time and date of visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data.
• Cookies: Small data files stored on your device. See Section 4 for details.
• Usage data: General analytics about how visitors use our site (pages viewed, features used).

3. Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• For more information about how Google uses data, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

4. Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Functional cookies: To save your class lists and preferences in your browser (localStorage). These cookies never leave your device.
• Advertising cookies: Google AdSense places cookies on your device to personalise advertisements. These are third-party cookies controlled by Google.
• Analytics cookies: We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This data is anonymous and aggregated.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of our service may not function properly.

To opt out of Google's use of cookies, visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

5. Data Retention & Security

Since we do not collect personal data on our servers, there is no personal data for us to retain or delete. Class lists saved using our tool are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage and remain under your complete control. You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or using the delete function within our tool.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect our website from unauthorised access, but no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our website is a tool designed for teachers to use with their students — it is not a service directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children. Teachers use our tool to manage their own class lists, and all data entered remains on the teacher's device. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at 7547sumy@gmail.com and we will take steps to remove that information.

7. GDPR & CCPA Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you have certain data rights:

• The right to access, update, or delete any personal information we have about you.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to restrict or object to our processing of your personal data.
• The right to opt out of the sale of your personal data (we do not sell personal data).

Since we do not collect personal data on our servers, most of these rights are automatically satisfied. For any requests, contact us at 7547sumy@gmail.com.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
