Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how What Time Was handles information when you use our time calculators, world clock pages, timezone guides, blog articles, and related website features.

Overview

What Time Was is designed to provide simple time related tools for users, especially users searching from the United States. The website can help visitors calculate what time it was a certain number of hours ago, what time it will be in the future, and how time zones work. We want the service to be useful, transparent, and easy to understand.

You do not need to create an account to use the website. Most tools work directly in your browser. Some features may use basic technical information so the website can load correctly, measure performance, prevent abuse, and improve the user experience.

Information we may collect

We may collect non sensitive technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate region, referring page, and basic usage events. This information helps us understand which pages are useful, which calculators need improvement, and whether the website is working correctly.

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, message, and any related details. We use that information to reply to your request and improve support.

How we use information

To operate and maintain the website.
To improve calculator accuracy, page speed, and navigation.
To understand which time tools and articles visitors find helpful.
To respond to support requests and feedback.
To protect the website from spam, misuse, and technical problems.
To prepare the website for future monetization options such as ads, if we choose to use them.

Analytics

We may use privacy conscious analytics or standard website analytics in the future. Analytics can help us see aggregated information such as page views, popular tools, device types, and general traffic trends. We do not use analytics to require accounts or to collect calculator results as personal profiles.

Cookies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality, security, analytics, or advertising if monetization is added later. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Advertising and monetization

At this time monetization may not be active. If the website later uses advertising networks, such as display ads, those partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, and show relevant advertising. Any ad related changes should be reflected in this policy when implemented.

Third party links

Our pages may link to third party websites, references, services, or tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites. You should review their privacy policies before sharing information with them.

Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required for legal, security, or operational reasons. Support emails may remain in our email account unless deleted during routine cleanup.

Children privacy

The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review the request.

Your choices

You can disable cookies in your browser, avoid submitting contact information, and contact us if you want to ask about information you sent to us. Some features may not work the same if cookies or scripts are disabled.
