Introduction

DaylightSavingTime.info is an informational website about Daylight Saving Time, clock changes, and time zone rules worldwide. It is operated by DOMINO SERVICES LTD., based in the United Kingdom.

This site does not require user registration or accounts. There are no login systems, user profiles, or user-generated content features. You can browse all content without providing any personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what data may be collected automatically when you visit the site, how it is used, and what rights you have.

Data We Collect

We do not collect personal data through forms, accounts, or registrations. However, certain technical data may be collected automatically when you visit the site:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • Referring website (the page you came from)
  • Date and time of your visit

This data is collected by third-party services described below, not directly by us.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are most visited and how people navigate between them. This helps us improve the content and structure of the site.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze traffic data. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors to us as the site operator.

Google may process this data on servers outside the European Economic Area. Google's own privacy practices are governed by their privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. This site may use cookies for:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics places cookies to track page visits and user behavior in aggregate.
  • Performance: Cloudflare may set cookies related to security and performance optimization.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. The site will continue to function if you disable cookies, though analytics data will not be collected.

Cloudflare (Security & Performance)

This site uses Cloudflare as a content delivery network (CDN), DDoS protection layer, and security filter. Cloudflare sits between your browser and our server and may process:

  • Your IP address
  • Request headers and metadata
  • Security-related data (to block malicious traffic)

Cloudflare's privacy practices are described in their privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy

Hosting

This website is hosted on DigitalOcean servers located in Amsterdam, Netherlands (EU). Basic server access logs may be stored temporarily for security monitoring and performance analysis. These logs typically include IP addresses, request URLs, timestamps, and HTTP status codes.

Advertising

This site may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity on this site and other websites. Google's advertising privacy practices are described at: policies.google.com/technologies/ads

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Data may be processed by the following third-party services as part of normal site operation:

  • Google — Analytics and advertising
  • Cloudflare — CDN, security, and performance
  • DigitalOcean — Server hosting and infrastructure

Each of these providers operates under their own privacy policies and data processing terms.

Data Retention

We do not maintain our own database of visitor data. Data retention is handled by the third-party services listed above:

  • Google Analytics retains data according to its standard retention settings (default: 14 months).
  • Server logs on DigitalOcean may be retained for up to 90 days for security purposes.
  • Cloudflare retains request data according to its own retention policies.

Your Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

  • Right to access: You can request information about what data is held about you.
  • Right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your data where applicable.
  • Right to object: You can object to the processing of your data for specific purposes.

Since this site does not collect personal data directly (no accounts, no forms), most data is held by third-party providers. To exercise your rights regarding data held by Google or Cloudflare, please contact those providers directly. For any requests directed to us, use the contact information below.

External Links

This site contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
