In short
- Waqt has no accounts and no database. Every conversion runs in your browser.
- Your settings and places are stored only in your browser. Dates, times and places you enter appear at most in the link, if you share it.
- Google Analytics runs only if you click "Accept", and never sees what you enter.
Who is responsible
Waqt is a qudqu project. Email: [email protected], or see Contact us.
Links you share
A page's address holds your view (design, calendars, clock format) and, on the converters, the date, time and places, so a shared link shows exactly the same. When you send the link through a messenger, email or another app, that service's own privacy policy applies. Waqt never uploads any of it.
Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted on GitLab Pages by GitLab Inc., 268 Bush Street #350, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA.
When you open a page, your browser sends the technical data every website receives: your IP address, the
date and time, the page requested (without the part after #), the referring page and your
browser and operating system. GitLab uses this data to deliver the site and keep it secure, and keeps it
according to its own retention rules. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in
running a working, secure website). The transfer to the USA is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy
Framework (Art. 45 GDPR) or, where that does not apply, on standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c)
GDPR). See GitLab's privacy statement.
Stored in your browser
- Your analytics choice (
cookie-consentin local storage), so we don't ask again on every visit. It stays until you change it or clear the site data. - Your view (
waqt-settingsin local storage): the design, calendars, clock format, digits, theme and Qamari adjustment you chose, so the site looks the same on your next visit. - Your places in the time converter (
waqt-zonesin local storage).
All of these are needed for features you use (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG) and never leave your device. Fonts are served from our own site, so no font service learns that you visited.
Clock check
So that Waqt shows the right time even when your device's clock is off, each page asks our server for the time once: it requests a small file, and the reply carries the server's time. Nothing is sent but the usual technical data described under "Hosting and server logs", and the result stays in your browser.
Widgets on other websites
Other websites can show Waqt's widgets. Your browser then loads the widget's script and fonts (or, in an iframe, the widget page) from waqt.qudqu.com, which sends GitLab the technical data described under "Hosting and server logs". The widgets set no cookies, store nothing in your browser and load no analytics. The website that shows a widget is responsible for its own pages.
Google Analytics (only with your consent)
If you click "Accept", we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which parts of Waqt people use. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Before you decide, nothing is loaded from Google.
Google Analytics then receives:
- the page address without anything after
?or#, the page title and the site language; - device, browser, operating system, screen size and the referring page;
- approximate location (country, region, city), derived from your IP address, which Google Analytics does not store;
- these actions: design changed, link copied, date copied, time converted and date converted, each with at most the name of the design or calendar.
Dates, times and places you enter are never sent. Google signals and all advertising features are switched off. Google
Analytics sets the cookies _ga and _ga_… on waqt.qudqu.com for up to 2 years;
the collected data is deleted after 2 months. Google may process data in the USA;
Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR).
Legal basis: your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future: via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page, by clicking "Reject". Tracking then stops at once and the cookies are deleted. More in Google's privacy policy.
If you email us, we use your address and message only to answer you, and delete them when they are no longer needed. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object (Art. 21), and to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3)). Just email us. You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the one where you live.
You don't have to provide any personal data to use Waqt. We don't use automated decision-making or profiling.
Changes
We update this policy when Waqt changes. The date at the top shows the current version.
