Privacy Policy — Now and There

Effective date: September 28, 2026

Now and There (“the extension”) is a world clock and meeting planner. It shows the current time in the cities you choose on one shared time axis, and helps you pick a meeting time across time zones.

Data the extension handles

1. Your cities and preferences

The extension saves the following with Chrome’s sync storage (chrome.storage.sync):

• The cities you add: the display name you give each one and its time zone identifier (for example Asia/Tokyo)
• The order you arrange them in and your chosen sort mode
• Whether you prefer a 12- or 24-hour clock, whether to show your own time zone row, and your background choice (Light, Dark or Soft Arc)

The background choice is also kept in the extension’s own local storage on this computer, so the popup can open in the right colours straight away. It is just the theme’s name; nothing else is kept there.

If you are signed in to Chrome with sync turned on, Chrome copies these settings to your other computers, under your Google account and Google’s privacy policy. If sync is off, they stay on this computer only. The developer never receives them.

2. Your own time zone

To show your local time and each city’s offset from you, the extension reads your computer’s time zone setting (for example America/Toronto) through the browser’s standard date functions. It does not use your location, GPS, or IP address, and it does not store or transmit your time zone.

When information leaves your browser

Only when you ask it to:

• Google Cal opens a new Google Calendar event in a new tab. The event’s start and end time and a text list of each city’s local time for that slot are passed to Google in the page address. Google Calendar’s own privacy policy applies to anything you then save there.
• Copy places the same text list on your clipboard.
• .ics saves a calendar file to your computer’s downloads.
• The world time zone map is drawn entirely from data bundled inside the extension; opening it contacts no server. Its footer has two attribution links (OpenStreetMap copyright and the Open Database License), which open those pages in a new tab only if you click them, and send nothing about you.

What the extension does NOT do

• It has no servers and contacts none; there are no analytics, no telemetry and no crash reporting
• It cannot see or change any website you visit — it requests no access to websites and runs only in its own popup and options page
• It does not read your browsing history, tabs, bookmarks or page content
• It does not ask for or use your location
• It does not download or run any code; every script, font, icon and map ships inside the extension package
• It does not sell, rent or share any data, or use it for advertising or creditworthiness purposes

Deleting your data

Remove your cities on the options page, or uninstall the extension, which deletes its stored settings. If Chrome sync was on, uninstalling it on every computer, or clearing synced data from your Google account, removes the synced copy too.

Limited Use disclosure

The extension’s use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: data is used only to provide the extension’s single, user-facing purpose (a world clock and meeting planner), is not transferred to third parties, and is never used for advertising.

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be published at this URL and reflected in the extension’s Chrome Web Store listing before taking effect.
