Privacy Policy

KickoffClock is a free tool that converts FIFA World Cup 2026 match kickoff times to your local timezone. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our World Cup 2026 schedule and timezone conversion service. We built this kickoff time timezone tool with your privacy in mind. We collect as little as possible and store nothing on our servers.

What data we collect

KickoffClock does not collect personal information. Specifically:

• Timezone preference: stored in your browser's localStorage only. Never sent to our servers.
• Theme preference: stored in localStorage. Never sent to our servers.
• Analytics: we may use Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly alternative to understand aggregate usage (page views, popular timezones). Analytics data is anonymised and does not identify individual users.

We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, payment information, or any personally identifiable information. There are no user accounts.

Cookies and local storage

KickoffClock uses browser localStorage (not cookies) to save:

• Your selected timezone (e.g., Asia/Kolkata for India Standard Time)
• Your light/dark theme preference

Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics, if enabled) may set their own cookies. You can opt out via your browser settings or a browser extension such as uBlock Origin.

Third-party links

KickoffClock may contain affiliate links to streaming services, VPN providers, and merchandise stores. These links are clearly marked. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Third-party sites have their own privacy policies which we do not control.

Calendar downloads

When you download a .ics calendar file or add a match to Google Calendar, the .ics file is generated entirely in your browser. No match data or personal information is sent to our servers. Google Calendar links open Google's own service, subject to Google's privacy policy.

Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. Aggregate, anonymised analytics data may be reviewed by our team to improve the service.

Children's privacy

KickoffClock is a public sports schedule website not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of KickoffClock after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
