Countdown Calendar

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 3, 2026

This page explains what information Countdown Calendar collects, how it is used, and how you can get help if you need it. We have tried to write it in plain language.

No account required

You can create and share a countdown without creating an account or providing an email address. There is no sign-up step. The tool is free and works entirely in your browser.

Countdown data

When you create a countdown, the information you enter — such as the countdown title, date and time, message, colors, theme, and other display settings — may be stored on our servers. This stored data is what powers the shareable display link and editor link for your countdown.

We do not attach this countdown data to any personal account, name, or email address. It is stored only so the countdown can be displayed and shared.

Display links

A display link (sometimes called "Share Timer Only") is a read-only link to your countdown. Anyone with this link can view the countdown on their own screen — a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop, smart board, office monitor, or event display. The display link does not allow the countdown to be edited.

Editor links

An editor link allows someone to return to your countdown and make changes — including the title, date, message, or appearance. Because editor links grant edit access, you should keep your editor link private and only share it with people you trust to update the countdown.

Uploaded images

If you upload a custom background image for your countdown, that image is stored on our servers so it can be displayed when someone views the countdown via a display link or editor link. We do not use uploaded images for any other purpose. We do not make guarantees about how long uploaded images are retained.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site. This includes information such as:

  • Which pages are visited and how often
  • How long visitors spend on a page
  • General device and browser type
  • General geographic location (country or region)
  • Where visitors came from (search engine, direct, referral)

This data helps us understand which tools are being used, identify errors, and improve the site. Google Analytics may use cookies to collect this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using browser extensions or your browser's cookie settings.

Affiliate and sponsored links

Some pages on this site contain affiliate links or sponsored product recommendations — for example, links to relevant products on Amazon. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Sponsored sections are labeled as such on the page. We only include affiliate links for products that seem genuinely relevant to the page topic.

Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings.

Data sharing

We do not sell or rent your data to third parties. Countdown data and uploaded images are stored with our hosting and infrastructure providers. Analytics data is shared with Google as described above. We do not share countdown content with advertisers or other third parties.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us and we will look into it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change. We recommend checking this page occasionally if you use the site regularly.

Deleting or updating a countdown

If you need help deleting a countdown or removing an uploaded image, please email us with details about the countdown (such as the URL or countdown title) and we will help as soon as we can.
