Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 27, 2025

At TimeDot, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our time visualization tools across Windows, web, Chrome extensions, and mobile platforms.

TL;DR

TimeDot is open source and designed with privacy at its core. We do not collect, store, or share your personal data. Any data generated while using our applications stays on your device.

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many applications, TimeDot does not:

  • Collect personal information
  • Track your usage patterns
  • Store your time data on our servers
  • Use cookies for tracking purposes
  • Share any information with third parties

Local Data Storage

All your time visualization data is stored locally:

  • Windows Application: Data is stored locally on your device
  • Web Application: Data is stored in your browser's local storage
  • Chrome Extension: Data is stored in the extension's storage
  • Mobile Applications: Data is stored in your device's local application storage

This local-first approach means you maintain complete control over your data.

Open Source Commitment

TimeDot is open source software. This means:

  • Our code is publicly available for review
  • The community can verify our privacy claims
  • You can inspect how your data is handled

You can find our source code at our GitHub repository.

Optional Anonymous Usage Statistics

While we don't collect user data by default, we offer an entirely optional feature to share anonymous usage statistics to help improve the application. If you choose to enable this feature:

  • All data is anonymized and contains no personal identifiers
  • Only application performance metrics are collected
  • You can disable this feature at any time
  • The anonymized data is never sold or shared with third parties

This feature is disabled by default and requires explicit opt-in from users.

Third-Party Services

TimeDot applications do not integrate with third-party analytics or tracking services. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking technologies.

Data Backup and Export

You can export your time visualization data at any time in common formats. These exports are initiated by you and stored locally on your device.

Children's Privacy

TimeDot does not collect information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
