Welcome to 20MinuteTimer.com. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website. Because we are committed to maintaining your trust, we operate with full transparency and respect for your privacy rights.

By using 20MinuteTimer.com, you agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We’ve built 20MinuteTimer.com to be a simple and privacy-friendly platform. We do not collect or store any personal data such as your:

• Name
• Email address
• IP address
• Physical location
• Phone number
• Payment information

We also do not require user accounts, logins, or subscriptions. Our timer works instantly, with no setup or personal input required.

2. Anonymous Usage Data

While we do not collect personal information, we may use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Plausible to help us understand how users interact with our site. These tools may collect anonymized information, such as:

• Browser type and version
• Device type (desktop, tablet, mobile)
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring websites or search terms
• Approximate location (city or region—not your exact address)

This data is used purely for website optimization and performance monitoring. It helps us improve the user experience and identify areas where our service can be more effective.

3. Cookies

20MinuteTimer.com uses minimal and non-intrusive cookies, if any. If used, cookies are only for functionality, such as:

• Remembering the timer’s state if you refresh or return
• Maintaining theme or interface preferences (light/dark mode, etc.)

We do not use cookies to track personal activity across the web or for advertising purposes. You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use the site.

4. Third-Party Services

While we strive to keep everything in-house and privacy-respecting, we may occasionally use third-party tools or services for:

• Anonymous traffic analysis
• Basic performance tracking
• Error logging (to fix bugs or downtime)

These services may place their own cookies or use tracking pixels. We ensure that any third-party service we use is GDPR and CCPA-compliant and respects user privacy.

5. Advertising

We do not run ads or serve promotional content.

20MinuteTimer.com is ad-free by design. We believe in offering a distraction-free environment for users focused on productivity, study, fitness, or personal wellness. This also means we don’t use tracking pixels, retargeting campaigns, or behavioral advertising of any kind.

6. Children’s Privacy

20MinuteTimer.com is suitable for users of all ages, including children. However, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). Because we don’t collect any personal information at all, no data from minors is knowingly processed or stored.

7. Data Security

Although we do not collect personal data, we still prioritize website security. We use:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transfers
• Secure servers and up-to-date software
• Regular monitoring for suspicious or unauthorized access attempts

This ensures that your experience with 20MinuteTimer.com remains secure and reliable.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Even though we don’t collect identifiable data, we support privacy rights under laws such as:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – for users in the European Union
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) – for users in California, USA
• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) – for users in Canada

Should we ever introduce optional features requiring data (like feedback forms or email subscriptions), you will be informed upfront, and your rights to access, correct, or delete your data will always be respected.

9. Future Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect new tools, features, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. If the updates are significant, we will display a notice on the website or provide additional communication.

You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed of how we protect your privacy.
