1. Introduction

At HowLongUntil, accessible from http://howlonguntil.org, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by HowLongUntil and how we use it.

2. Information we collect

We keep data collection to an absolute minimum. Because our timer services do not require user account registration, we do not collect personal names or passwords to use the core countdown tools.

  • Log files

    Standard IP addresses, browser types, ISP, timestamp, and referring/exit pages for security diagnostics.

  • Local storage

    Browser local storage to remember your chosen timezone and preferences locally on your device.

3. How we use your information

Any information collected is used solely to maintain tool accuracy, prevent malicious abuse, optimize site loading speed, and deliver a smooth user experience across timezones.

4. Cookies and web storage

Like any other website, HowLongUntil uses basic cookies and local storage tokens. These are used to store preferences such as chosen time format (12h vs 24h) and selected visual theme.
