Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Last Updated: October 29, 2026

Our Privacy Commitment

EpochTimeConverter.co is committed to protecting your privacy. We built this tool with privacy in mind from day one. We don't track you, we don't sell your data, and we don't use cookies for tracking.

1. Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many websites, we intentionally do not collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• IP addresses for tracking purposes
• Browser fingerprints
• Location data
• Cookies for tracking or advertising
• The timestamps you convert (they stay in your browser)

2. Information We May Collect

We may collect minimal, anonymized data to ensure the website functions properly:

2.1 Server Logs

Like most web servers, ours automatically log basic request information:

• Date and time of access
• Pages requested
• HTTP status codes
• Referrer URL (the page that linked to us)
• Browser type and version

These logs are used solely for security monitoring and debugging. They are automatically deleted after 30 days and are never sold or shared with third parties.

2.2 API Usage

If you use our free API, we may log:

• Number of requests (for rate limiting, if implemented)
• Timestamp of request
• HTTP method and endpoint

We do not log the actual data you convert through the API.

3. How We Use Information

The minimal data we collect is used exclusively for:

• Ensuring the website functions correctly
• Detecting and preventing abuse or attacks
• Improving website performance
• Understanding general usage patterns (anonymously)

4. Cookies

We use only essential, functional cookies:

• Theme preference: Remembers if you chose dark or light mode
• Timezone preference: Remembers your preferred timezone for convenience

These cookies are stored only in your browser and contain no personal information. You can clear them at any time through your browser settings.

We do not use:

• Tracking cookies
• Advertising cookies
• Third-party analytics cookies
• Social media tracking pixels

5. Third-Party Services

We currently do not use any third-party services that collect your data. This means:

• No Google Analytics
• No Facebook Pixel
• No advertising networks
• No social media integrations that track you

If this ever changes, we will update this policy and notify users.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect any data we handle:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Regular security updates
• Input sanitization to prevent attacks
• No storage of sensitive user data

7. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's typically nothing to request. However, you have the right to:

• Ask questions: Contact us if you have any privacy concerns
• Clear cookies: Delete any local storage through your browser settings
• Use the site anonymously: No account or identification is ever required

8. Children's Privacy

EpochTimeConverter.co is a general-purpose tool and does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data from anyone, this is inherently protected.

9. International Users

This website is operated from the United States. If you are located outside the US, please be aware that any information processed may be transferred to the US. By using this website, you consent to this transfer. However, since we don't collect personal data, this has minimal practical impact.

10. GDPR Compliance (EU Users)

For users in the European Union:

• We do not process personal data that would require GDPR consent
• No cookies are set that require consent under GDPR
• You can use the site without any data collection

11. CCPA Compliance (California Users)

For California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act:

• We do not sell personal information
• We do not collect personal information that would trigger CCPA requirements

12. Changes to This Policy
