Privacy Policy

Overview

alarmticar is the name of the website at alarm.ticaregroup.com. The published contact address is contact@alarm.ticaregroup.com. The site does not publish a legal entity name, a street address, or a phone number.

What you type into a tool is handled on the device that has the page open, except where this policy names Google AdSense. There is no alarmticar form that posts your alarm labels, birth dates, or city choices to a server of ours.

Information you enter into tools

The date calculator, the age calculator, and the hours calculator keep their inputs in the open page. Those inputs are not written to browser storage and are not uploaded. Reloading the page clears them. A birth date used in the age calculator is a number for that calculation only.

The time zone converter also keeps the source city, destination city, date, and time in the open page. It does not save a history of conversions, and it does not put those values in the address bar. Changing the inputs clears the previous result on the page.

The clock displays the current time from your device. It does not send that time anywhere. Display choices, described below, are the part that can remain after a reload.

The world clock shows current local times for cities. Choosing a city does not tell alarmticar where you are. The page does not read your IP address for location, and it does not call the browser Geolocation API.

If you use the countdown share control, the browser may open its own share sheet or copy a short message and the page address to the clipboard. That happens only when you choose it. alarmticar does not receive the copied text.

Local browser storage

Some tools save a copy in this browser so a reload can restore them. The storage is local to the browser profile you are using. Clearing site data, using a private window that discards data on close, or removing the entries yourself deletes that copy. alarmticar has no server copy to restore it from.

Saved preferences can include the theme, the 12-hour or 24-hour choice, alarm volume, the selected alarm sound, and whether the clock page is dimmed.

Saved alarms can include the time, a short label, whether the alarm is on, repeat days, the sound, the volume, and a snooze if one is in progress.

A timer can save its duration, remaining time, running or paused state, sound, and volume. Study Mode can save the step labels, the order of study and break steps, the current step, and whether the sequence repeats.

A stopwatch can save elapsed time, whether it is running, and lap times. A countdown can save its title and target date and time.

The world clock can save the list of cities you added or reordered. It does not save a location reading.

The time zone converter, the date calculator, the age calculator, and the hours calculator do not use this storage for your inputs.

While an alarm or a timer is coordinating sound, the browser may also keep a short-lived tab identifier in session storage, plus a small local note so that two open tabs do not both play the same completion sound. Open tabs of this site can notify each other with the browser's BroadcastChannel. That traffic stays on the device. It is not a network message to alarmticar.

This browser may also keep a short advertising note under the key alarmticar.ads-guard.v1. It stores recent timestamps used to notice extremely abnormal activity around advertising, and a temporary flag that can skip the advertising script for a short time. The note stays in this browser. It is not an alarmticar account identifier, and the site does not receive a copy. If the note cannot be read, the tools still work and advertising stays available.

Cookies and similar technologies

alarmticar's own code does not set a cookie to remember you, and it does not read document.cookie for a login or a preference. Preferences that the site itself remembers use local storage, as described above.

Google AdSense may use cookies, local storage, and advertising identifiers when the advertising script runs. Those technologies are Google's. alarmticar does not operate them and does not receive a copy of Google's cookie jar.

Google AdSense

After a public page opens, the browser may add one Google AdSense script from Google's servers, using the publisher id published in ads.txt. Known crawlers and obvious automation clients do not add it. The page text is the same either way. The script can request and measure ads. Google and its advertising partners may process technical data such as cookie identifiers, approximate location derived by Google, and information about the ad request, under Google's own policies. This note does not mean alarmticar can tell a valid ad interaction from any other.

Google's description of that processing is How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. This privacy page does not replace Google's document.

The site does not place a manual ad unit inside an alarm, timer, or converter control, and it does not place one inside the privacy, terms, or disclaimer text. The global missing-page document, the one outside a language path, does not load the AdSense script.

Seeing an ad on a page does not mean alarmticar sold your tool inputs. The inputs described above stay in the browser unless a third-party script that the page loads can observe the page under its own rules.

Analytics

alarmticar does not install a separate analytics product of its own. There is no site-owned Google Analytics tag, no Tag Manager container, and no other analytics script in the site code.

That is not the same as saying nobody measures anything. The AdSense script can measure ad delivery and related activity for Google. That measurement is part of the advertising service. It is not an alarmticar analytics dashboard described on this page.

Third-party services

The third-party service the pages load is Google AdSense, from the script host pagead2.googlesyndication.com. The site does not embed other advertising networks, social plugins, or font files from a third-party font host. Text is rendered with fonts already on your device.

Sound files for alarms and timers are files shipped with the site, not streams from a media vendor.

If a later release adds another third party, this page should change in the same release. A policy that lists services the site does not use would be inaccurate, so this list stays short on purpose.

Audio

Alarm, timer, and study sounds are audio files included with the website. The browser plays the file you selected, at the volume stored with your preferences or with that tool. The site does not record your microphone, and it does not upload audio.

Playback still depends on the browser allowing sound. A closed page cannot play the file.

Data retention

There is no alarmticar account database and no server archive of tool entries. Retention of local storage is controlled by your browser. Data remains until you clear it, until the browser drops it, or until the site writes a newer copy over it.

Session storage used to tell tabs apart lasts for that browser session. Closing the session removes it.

Email you send to contact@alarm.ticaregroup.com is ordinary mail to that mailbox. This page does not set a retention period for messages in that mailbox, because the site itself does not store those messages in an application database.

Children

alarmticar is a general utility for people who use a browser. It is not built as a children's service, and it does not create child accounts. The age calculator does not save a birth date.

This page does not claim a particular children's-privacy certification. If you are a parent and you believe a page is unsuitable, write to contact@alarm.ticaregroup.com.

International users

People can open the site from many countries. The public pages are published in several languages, including English. Tool text you store locally stays on your device wherever you are.

Google may process advertising data in its own systems, which can be outside your country. This policy explains the site's behavior. It does not promise that the site satisfies every privacy statute in every country.

Policy changes

This text can change when the site changes, for example if a tool starts saving something new or if advertising is removed. The date under the title is the date of this text.

The page you are reading is the notice. alarmticar does not email users about a policy change, because it has no user list.

Privacy questions go to contact@alarm.ticaregroup.com. Please do not include passwords or identity documents. The Contact page explains what helps in a bug report. There is no separate privacy address.
