Privacy Policy. Real Epoch Converter.

Who I am

Real Epoch Converter is a free online epoch converter, built and operated by me, an individual developer, from Junagadh, Gujarat, India, as a solo project. No account is required, and the tool itself runs entirely in your browser. Throughout this policy, "I", "me", and "my" refer to me as the operator of this site. The personal information I receive is limited to what you choose to send me through the contact form or the optional user reviews feature, each described below.

To keep the site free, I display advertising (Google AdSense) and use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage.

Conversions never leave your device

All timestamp conversions happen 100% locally in your browser. Paste a timestamp, type a date, or run a batch conversion and the calculation happens locally using JavaScript. No conversion data, not the values, the results, or anything derived from them, is transmitted to me or to any third party.

That guarantee covers conversion input specifically. The other things that happen on this site are separate systems and are not covered by it: Google Analytics and Google AdSense load scripts that transmit usage and advertising data to those providers, and the contact form and user reviews transmit only what you type into those forms, which is stored securely via standard third-party processors. Each is described in its own section below. In short: what you convert stays local; what the site needs to run (analytics, ads) and what you choose to send (contact messages, reviews) does not.

What I collect

Server and CDN logs. My hosting and content delivery provider (Cloudflare) records standard technical request data such as your IP address, browser user agent, the requested URL, and the time of the request, for security and reliability.
Analytics data. Google Analytics 4 measures aggregate usage (page views and rough traffic sources). It is described in its own section below.
Contact form submissions. The name, email address, subject, and message you type, plus your consent record.
Review submissions. The display name, star rating, optional tool selector, and review text you submit.
Cookies and local storage. Listed in the cookie policy.

What I do not collect: the values you type into the converters. Those stay in your browser.

Why I use it

To operate and secure the site, understand aggregate usage, answer messages, and moderate reviews. Nothing else.

Consent, cookies & local storage

Where opt-in consent is required by law, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and India, you'll see a small banner on your first visit offering "Accept all" or "Decline," built and operated by me directly (I do not use a third-party consent platform). Dismissing the banner, or simply ignoring it, has exactly the same legal effect as clicking "Decline": your consent is never assumed. If you accept, Google Analytics and Google AdSense run with full measurement and personalization (subject to Google's own regional policies). If you decline, or do nothing, analytics stay cookieless and ads stay non-personalized. You keep full access to every tool either way: the banner never blocks scrolling, the converter, or navigation. You can change your choice any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, and the details of every cookie and storage key are listed in my cookie policy.

Outside the regions listed above, opt-in consent isn't required by law, so no banner is shown and analytics/ads run by default. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, I automatically treat that as a request to opt out of ad personalization and analytics tracking, everywhere, without requiring you to interact with any banner. You can also opt out at any time using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer.

The site uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferences and your consent choice (your consent choice, your chosen timezone, light or dark mode, and one-time prompt states so popups never nag you). None of it leaves your device and none of it is accessible to me. You can clear or change any of this at any time through your browser's site-data settings, or by using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

Google Analytics (analytics)

I use Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate site usage, for example, how many visitors a page receives and roughly where traffic comes from. Google Analytics may use cookies to recognize returning visitors and collect anonymized usage data. I do not use it to build individual profiles, and I have not enabled advertising features (such as Google Signals) in Analytics. IP anonymization is enabled.

In the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and India, Google Analytics runs without cookies until you accept my banner, and with full measurement once you accept.
In California and other US states with similar privacy laws, analytics runs by default, but you can opt out at any time, including automatically, if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, or via the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" footer link.
Elsewhere, analytics runs with full measurement by default.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics entirely, on any browser, by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Advertising (Google AdSense)

The site displays ads served by Google AdSense, which keeps the tool free.

Before you accept (and if you decline): every ad is served as a non-personalized ad. Non-personalized ads are contextual. They use only the page you're viewing, not your browsing history, and do not drop profiling cookies.
In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Google's own advertising policy requires publishers to use a Google-certified consent management platform to serve personalized ads. I do not use one, so visitors in these regions are always shown non-personalized ("Limited") ads, no cookies, no profiling, regardless of the choice made in my banner.
In India and most other regions, once you accept my banner, ads are personalized; if you decline, they stay non-personalized.
In California and other US states with similar privacy laws, ads are personalized by default, but you can opt out of this at any time via the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" footer link, or automatically if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. I do not sell your personal information for money.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) or aboutads.info. To learn more about how Google uses data from sites or apps that use its services, see "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services". Where personalized ads run, Google may set cookies and use your browsing activity on this and other sites to show more relevant ads, subject to Google's own privacy policy and the choices you make at Google's Ads Settings.

Server logs

Like virtually every website, my hosting provider may automatically record basic technical logs (such as the requested page and the date and time of the request) for security and reliability. I do not use these logs to build profiles, and they are retained only as long as needed for operational purposes.

Contact form

The contact page lets you send me a message. The form runs entirely in the browser, and your message is sent securely to my team inbox and stored via standard third-party processors so I can reply to you.

What is sent: only the fields you type into the form. Your name, email address, chosen subject, and message, plus your explicit consent, recorded when you tick the consent checkbox. Nothing else on the page is transmitted.
How it is used: solely to read your message and reply to you. I never sell or share it, and I don't add contact-form senders to any marketing list.
How long I keep it: up to 24 months after my last reply, then deleted.
Consent: the form cannot be submitted until you tick the unticked "I have read and agree to the privacy policy" checkbox. That is a deliberate compliance choice: consent must be a clear, affirmative action (GDPR Art. 7; India's DPDP Act, 2023, Sec. 6).

User reviews

The reviews page lets you publish an opinion about the site. It is entirely optional.

What is collected: the display name you type, the star rating you choose, the optional tool selector, and your review text. I do not ask for your email and do not collect your IP address through this feature. Hidden anti-spam measures and rate limiting protect the form from bots.
That it will be public: approved reviews are published on the reviews page for everyone to read, together with the display name, rating, and submission date. The form states this before you submit, and submission requires an explicit consent checkbox.
Moderation: nothing is published automatically. Every review enters a queue with a "pending" status and appears on the site only after a human approves it. I decline spam, abuse, personal attacks, and anything unlawful; reviews are never edited for meaning.
How long I keep it: approved reviews stay published until you ask me to remove them or I close the feature. Declined reviews are kept for record-keeping and can be erased on request.
Your rights: you can request correction or erasure of your review at any time via the contact page — tell me the exact display name you used. Erasure removes the review from storage and it stops appearing on the site immediately.
Children: you must confirm you are at least 18 to submit a review, and I do not knowingly publish reviews from anyone younger.

Third-party services

The site uses the following service providers, and no others:

Cloudflare, hosting and content delivery (server and CDN logs).
Google Analytics 4, aggregate usage analytics.
Google AdSense, advertising.
Google Apps Script, storage and delivery for contact messages and review submissions.

Fonts are served directly from this site and are not a third-party request. No personal data is intentionally shared with any other third party. I do not use any third-party consent management platform: the cookie banner on this site is built and operated by me directly.

Your rights under Indian law, and how to exercise them

If you are in India, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, govern how I handle your personal data. Depending on when you read this and on how the law is being brought into force, some or all of the following rights may already be available to you, and I honor them either way:

Access: ask what personal data I hold about you and how it is processed.
Correction: ask me to fix inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Erasure: ask me to delete your personal data.
Grievance redressal: raise a concern about how your data was handled and get a response.
Nomination: nominate another person to exercise your rights if you are unable to do so yourself.

To exercise any of these rights, use the contact page or write to my contact email. I will respond within the period required by law with a resolution or an explanation. If you are not satisfied with my response, you may also file a complaint with India's Data Protection Board once it is accepting complaints.

For completeness: if you are in the EU or UK, you have the rights described in the GDPR (access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent, plus the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority). If you are in California or another US state with a comparable privacy law, you can opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising at any time using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" footer link, and I automatically honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out request. I do not sell personal information for money.

Retention

Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months after our last exchange, then deleted. Approved reviews stay published until you ask me to remove them or I close the feature; rejected submissions are deleted after 6 months. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for the purpose, or until you ask us to delete them, unless the law requires otherwise. Analytics and advertising data are retained by Google under its own settings.

International transfers

My analytics, advertising, and form processors may handle data outside your country, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred out of the EEA or the UK, I rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. My hosting and content-delivery provider, Cloudflare, processes request data at its global edge under its own safeguards. Providers may also process data outside India.

Security

I apply reasonable safeguards, including HTTPS and standard security headers. No security measure is absolute, and I cannot promise perfect security.

Children's privacy

This site is a general-purpose developer tool and is not directed at children under 18. I do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children, and I ask that minors not use the contact form or review submission.

Changes to this policy

If I change how the site handles data, I will update this page and revise the date below. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Governing law and jurisdiction

The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Disclaimer of this website, and any dispute, claim or proceeding arising out of or connected with them or with your use of this website, are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable law, the courts at Junagadh, Gujarat, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, claim or proceeding, and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits any right that you have under a law that cannot be waived by agreement.
