Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-21

Overview

TheTimerLab (thetimerlab.com) is a free, browser-based timer utility. We do not require accounts, logins, or any form of registration. We do not collect, sell, or share personal information.

Data we do not collect

  • Names, email addresses, or any contact details
  • Payment information
  • Account credentials
  • Location data beyond the country-level derived from server logs
  • Timer settings or usage history — all timer state is local to your browser

Local storage

We store one item in your browser's localStorage: your light/dark mode preference (theme). This value never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server. No cookies are set by this site.

Analytics

We use Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused, open-source analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personally identifiable information, and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. Page view data is aggregated and anonymised. IP addresses are not stored. You can verify this at umami.is/privacy.

Service worker and caching

This site registers a service worker to enable offline use (PWA). The service worker caches static assets — JavaScript, CSS, and fonts — locally in your browser. No user data is cached or transmitted. You can clear the cache at any time via your browser's developer tools or settings.

Advertising

TheTimerLab may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks such as Google AdSense or Mediavine. These networks and their partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to serve relevant ads and measure their performance.

You can manage or opt out of interest-based advertising through the following:

Beyond advertising, we do not embed tracking pixels, social media widgets, or external fonts that track users. No personal data is sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes outside of the ad-serving context described above.

Children's privacy

TheTimerLab does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The site contains no registration forms and no mechanism to submit personal data.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
