Information We Collect

Chronos is designed to function with minimal data collection. We may collect the following types of information:

  • Timezone Data: We automatically detect your timezone through your browser settings (via the Intl.DateTimeFormat API) to display accurate local time. This does not require any personal information.
  • Geolocation Data: If you grant permission, we may access your approximate geographic location to identify your city and timezone. This data is processed locally in your browser and is not stored on our servers.
