1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use TinyTimer.

TinyTimer does not normally require you to provide personal information to use its basic timer features. You can visit the website, select a duration, and use the timer without creating an account.
If you contact us by email or through another communication method, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, or the details included in your message.
We use information you voluntarily provide only for purposes related to your communication with us, such as responding to questions, handling feedback, or addressing website issues.

This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, referring page, pages visited, date and time of your visit, and other technical information.
This information generally helps us understand how visitors use TinyTimer, maintain website security, identify technical problems, and improve the website.
We do not use the basic timer functionality to intentionally collect information about the personal activities you are timing.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
TinyTimer may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, understand how visitors interact with the site, improve performance, or support advertising.
Cookies are small files that websites can store on your device. Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function correctly, while others may be used for analytics, preferences, security, or advertising.
You can usually control or disable cookies through your web browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features work.
Third-party services used on TinyTimer may also place their own cookies or similar technologies when their features are present on the website.
4. Analytics
TinyTimer may use analytics services to understand general patterns in website usage.
Analytics information can help us determine which pages are useful, identify technical issues, understand visitor behavior, and improve the overall experience.
Analytics providers may collect information such as device information, browser information, approximate location, pages visited, and interaction data according to their own privacy policies.
We do not intend for analytics information to be used to identify individual visitors personally unless required or permitted by the relevant service and applicable law.
5. Advertising
TinyTimer may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising companies.
Advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver, measure, personalize, or limit advertisements. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
If advertising is enabled on TinyTimer, advertisements may be selected based on factors such as the content of a page, general geographic information, browser information, or previous browsing activity, depending on the advertising provider and the choices available to users.
We do not control the privacy practices of independent advertising companies. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any third-party advertising services used on the website.
6. Third-Party Services
TinyTimer may use third-party providers for services such as website hosting, security, analytics, advertising, performance monitoring, or other technical functions.
These providers may process certain technical or usage information as necessary to provide their services.
Third-party providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. TinyTimer is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services that are outside our control.
If you follow a link from TinyTimer to another website, that website will have its own privacy policy and terms. We recommend reviewing those policies before providing personal information.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to help protect information handled through TinyTimer from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, online service, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For this reason, you should avoid sending sensitive personal information through ordinary website contact methods unless it is specifically necessary.
8. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain our services, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, enforce agreements, or protect the website and its users.
The length of time information is retained may vary depending on the type of information and the service responsible for processing it.
Technical logs and analytics information may be retained according to the policies and settings of the relevant hosting, security, or analytics provider.
9. Children’s Privacy
TinyTimer is intended to be a general-purpose website for people who want to manage time during everyday activities such as studying, working, cooking, exercising, or completing routines.
We do not intentionally collect personal information from children for the purpose of identifying them.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate permission, please contact us. We will consider reasonable requests to review and remove such information where applicable.
10. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live and applicable privacy laws, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include requesting access to personal information, asking for inaccurate information to be corrected, requesting deletion of certain information, objecting to certain processing, or withdrawing consent where consent is the legal basis for processing.
You can also control certain cookies and similar technologies through your browser or available privacy settings.
Because privacy rights differ between jurisdictions, we will consider requests according to applicable law.

Where applicable, information may be transferred or processed in accordance with relevant legal requirements and appropriate safeguards.
