1. Overview
At Timeline.sg, accessible from https://timeline.sg, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Timeline.sg and how we use it.
2. Information We Collect
Timeline.sg collects minimal personal data necessary to provide interactive timeline comparative tools:
- Account Information: If you register an account, we collect your email address, username, and encrypted password authentication data.
- User-Generated Timelines: Any custom timelines, events, notes, or media links created while logged in are stored securely in our database. However, this does not apply to "Local" topics. We offer three tiers of topic privacy:
- Public: Stored on our cloud database and visible to everyone.
- Private: Stored on our cloud database but accessible only to you.
- Local: An offline-first mode where events are stored exclusively on your own device as a local `.json` file and are never uploaded to our servers.
- Log Data: Like many web applications, our servers automatically log standard web request data, including IP address, browser type, referring pages, and access timestamps for diagnostic and security purposes.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Timeline.sg uses cookies and browser local storage to:
- Maintain user login sessions securely.
- Store user UI preferences, such as selected color themes (e.g. Aurora, Classic Dark) and sidebar layout width.
- Remember cookie consent preferences.
4. Advertising & Third-Party Analytics
Timeline.sg may partner with third-party advertising partners such as Google AdSense to serve relevant advertisements. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Timeline.sg.
Note that Timeline.sg has no access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers. You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options or manage your preferences via our on-site cookie banner.
5. Data Security & Retention
We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
