Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2026

CountdownToYour (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates countdowntoyour.com. This policy explains what happens to information when you use the countdown timer, read the guides, or email us.

The countdown itself

The timer runs in your browser. There is no account, no password, and no profile. We do not keep a database of your events. When you create a countdown, the event name, date, time, timezone, and any theme or flip-clock choice are written into the page address. Sharing that address is how someone else sees the timer.

Anyone who has the link can read those details. A forwarded message, a group chat, a browser history entry, and a referrer log on some other site can all expose them. Do not put secrets in the event name: no gate codes, no unlisted addresses, no medical details, and nothing that would spoil a surprise if the link is forwarded. We do not receive a copy of the countdown unless you choose to email the link to us.

We do not use browser local storage or cookies of our own to remember your countdown. Closing the tab does not delete links you already sent. Those links keep working because the details are in the URL, not because we stored them.

Information you send by email

If you write to contact@countdowntoyour.com, we receive whatever you put in that message: your email address, the text, and any countdown link you paste. We use it to answer you and to fix the issue you described. We do not sell that correspondence.

Cookies and advertising

Google AdSense may serve ads on the homepage and on the guide pages. Those pages load the AdSense script for publisher ca-pub-5987895674695443. Google and its partners may use cookies, including the advertising cookie, to show ads based on visits to this site and other sites.

• You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of some third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
• Google’s description of partner data use is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

The About, Contact, Privacy, and Terms pages, and the not-found page, do not load the AdSense script and do not include an ad unit.

Fonts on the homepage

The countdown page loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. Your browser requests those font files from Google when you open the homepage. The written pages (About, Contact, guides, Privacy, and Terms) use fonts already on your device and do not make that request.

Device clock and timezone

The countdown compares the event instant with the clock on the device viewing the page. We do not collect that clock reading. The timezone name you select is part of the share link so every viewer can compute the same instant. The browser’s timezone is used only as the default selection in the menu before you change it.

Your choices (GDPR and CCPA)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and you may object to or restrict certain processing. If you are a California resident, you may ask what personal information we collected and whether it was sold or shared. We do not sell personal information. Because countdowns are not stored in an account, we often have nothing to retrieve beyond an email you sent us.

For a privacy request, email contact@countdowntoyour.com.

Children

CountdownToYour is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent who shared a birthday countdown did so by sending a link; that link is under their control.

Changes

We post changes on this page and update the date at the top.
