Privacy
The short version: Hours Apart has no accounts, no login and no database for your city list. Some third-party services, including advertising, may process limited information to operate their services.
What stays on your device
Your list of cities is not stored on a server. It is encoded into the address bar, which is why you can bookmark it, reload it, or paste the link to someone else and have them see the same thing. The link never leaves your browser unless you choose to share it.
The only thing kept locally is your theme choice — whether you use Automatic mode to match day and night where you are, or pin the site to Light or Dark. That lives in your browser's localStorage and goes no further. Clearing your site data removes it.
Where the time data comes from
Offsets, daylight saving rules and your local zone are read from your own device through the browser's built-in internationalisation API. Nothing about your location is sent anywhere to work out the time.
Advertising, cookies and similar technologies
Hours Apart uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, limit how often an ad is shown, prevent fraud and, where permitted, personalise advertising.
Where consent is required by applicable law, including for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, advertising choices are presented through a consent-management message. Your choice may affect whether ads are personalised, non-personalised or limited. You can learn more about how Google uses information in advertising in Google'sAdvertising Technologies policy and manage ad personalisation inMy Ad Center.
If you live in a US state with a privacy law — such as California, Virginia or Colorado — you can exercise your choices, including opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information for advertising, through the privacy message shown on the site. You can also control ad personalisation inMy Ad Center.
Like any website, Hours Apart is served by a host (Cloudflare) that keeps standard request logs for security and reliability. We do not use those logs to identify you.
Calendar and email handoffs
Downloading an .ics file stays local. If you open the Google Calendar or Outlook action, the prepared meeting title, times, participant summary and Hours Apart link are passed to that provider so it can create the event.
Contact and feedback
The contact page offers a hosted feedback form, which opens in a new tab ontally.so. No request reaches Tally unless you open that link, and anything you submit there is handled by Tally under their terms. Hours Apart itself has no form backend, no contact mailbox, and stores nothing you write.
Changes
If our use of data or third-party services changes, we will update this page before or when that change takes effect.
