Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2025

What We Collect

When you use Timezone DB, we collect minimal information to provide our service:

• Discord Profile Information: Your Discord user ID, username, discriminator, and avatar (obtained through Discord OAuth)
• Timezone Preference: The timezone you choose to store and share
• Session Data: Temporary session tokens stored for 1 hour to keep you logged in

How We Use Your Data

We use your information only to:

• Store and display your timezone preference
• Authenticate you through Discord OAuth
• Provide API access to your stored timezone data
• Display basic statistics (user counts, popular timezones)

Data Storage

• User Data: Stored in our PostgreSQL database
• Sessions: Temporarily stored in Redis cache (expires after 1 hour)
• No Tracking: We don't use cookies for tracking or analytics

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties. Your timezone information is publicly accessible through our API endpoints, as this is the core functionality of the service.

Data Retention

Your data is stored until you choose to delete it using the "Delete Timezone" button or by contacting us. Session data automatically expires after 1 hour.

Your Rights

You can:

• Update your timezone at any time
• Delete your timezone data using the delete button
• Log out to end your session immediately

Third-Party Services

We use Discord OAuth for authentication. Please review Discord's Privacy Policy for information about how Discord handles your data.

Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data, including secure session management and database access controls.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.

If you have questions about this privacy policy or your data, please contact us through our project page.
