Privacy policy

Draft: the owner's legal business name will be added here before launch.

Last updated: November 11, 2026. This site is operated by FreeClassroomTimer.com ("we").

The short version

There are no accounts and no forms. The timer runs in your browser. We don't ask for, and don't want, any information about you or your students.

What stays on your device

• Timer settings such as sound on/off, the warning chime, colour changes and light/dark mode are saved in your browser's local storage so they're remembered next time. They are never sent to us.
• Words on the board and times you set stay in your browser. If you press Copy link, they're put into the link you copy; they only leave your device if you share that link.

Analytics

We may count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies, and Google Analytics 4. If Google Analytics is turned on, it records general usage such as which page was viewed, the device type and broad events like "a timer was started" with a duration range (for example "6 to 15 minutes"). We don't send user IDs, words typed on the board or exact settings, and we turn off Google signals and ad personalization. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, analytics storage is off by default.

Advertising

The site doesn't show ads at the moment. If that changes, ads would appear only below the timer on the regular page, never in the Show to class view, and would be non-personalized. We'd update this policy first.

Server logs

Our host, Cloudflare, processes IP addresses and request data to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

Children

The timer is a tool for teachers to display to a class. It doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children, and has no accounts, chat or uploads. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your choices

You can block cookies and clear local storage in your browser and the timer still works. For questions or requests, email hello@freeclassroomtimer.com.
