The short version
We collect the minimum data needed to run the service. We don't sell your data. We don't run ads. We use cookies only for authentication and timer functionality (evergreen timers). That's it.
1. What We Collect
From you (account holders):
- —Email address (for account and billing)
- —Payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we never see or store your card details)
- —Timer content and settings you create
From visitors who see your timers:
- —Anonymous page view counts (to track timer impressions)
- —A cookie for evergreen timers only (to maintain a visitor's personal countdown — no tracking across sites)
- —Country-level location data if geo-targeting is enabled (derived from IP, not stored)
We do not collect names, browsing history, device fingerprints, or any personally identifiable information from timer viewers.
2. How We Use Your Data
- —To provide and improve the Service
- —To process payments
- —To send transactional emails (welcome, billing, important updates)

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following services:
- —Stripe — payment processing
- —Vercel — hosting

Each of these services has their own privacy policy. We select providers that meet high standards for data protection.
4. Cookies
We use cookies for:

- —Evergreen timers — storing a visitor's personal countdown so it persists across page loads (only when this feature is enabled by the timer owner)
We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
