Privacy Policy

At Forest Focus Timer (https://www.forestfocustimer.com/), the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected by Forest Focus Timer and how it is used.

1. Zero-Telemetry & Client-Side Execution

Forest Focus Timer operates on a strict zero-telemetry architecture. We do not require account registration, and we do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or physical addresses. All of our productivity tools (e.g., Pomodoro timers, random name generators, calculators) execute their algorithms entirely on your local device's CPU. Your customized timer lengths, lap records, and generated outputs are stored strictly within your browser's LocalStorage and are never transmitted to our servers.

2. Log Files & Analytics

Like many other professional websites, Forest Focus Timer makes use of log files and anonymous analytics. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement around the site, and gather broad demographic information. IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

3. Google AdSense & The DoubleClick DART Cookie

To keep Forest Focus Timer free for all students, athletes, and professionals worldwide, we utilize Google AdSense to display advertisements.

• Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on Forest Focus Timer.
• Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to Forest Focus Timer and other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.

4. Our Advertising Partners

Some of advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners include Google AdSense. Each of our advertising partners has their own Privacy Policy for their policies on user data. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Forest Focus Timer, which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by our site's third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on the site. Forest Focus Timer has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

5. GDPR, CCPA, & CPRA Compliance

Because Forest Focus Timer processes data locally and does not collect PII, we inherently comply with the data minimization principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). If you wish to delete your usage history and timer presets, you may do so at any time by clearing your browser's cache and local site data.

6. Children's Information (COPPA)

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. Forest Focus Timer does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

7. Consent & Contact Information
