CANDLE TIMER

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 September 2026

The short version. There are no accounts here and we never build a profile of you. Your timer settings stay in your own browser. We count visits and ad views in aggregate only. The one thing that can set a cookie is advertising — if third‑party ads are running on the site, see section 5.

1. What this site is

sw.rdbot.in ("the site") is a free countdown timer for market candle intervals, shown in Indian Standard Time. It runs entirely in your browser. There is no login, no user account and no server‑side application behind it — the site is a static page.

2. Information we do not collect

3. Settings stored on your device

Your preferences are saved with your browser's localStorage under the key sw.rdbot.in.v1. That data stays on your device; it is never transmitted anywhere. It contains only:

You can erase all of it at any time by clearing site data for sw.rdbot.in in your browser settings. Nothing is lost except your preferences, which simply return to their defaults.

4. Server logs

The site is served by a standard web server, which writes ordinary access logs. Like almost every website, these logs may record your IP address, the time of the request, the page requested, the HTTP status and your browser's user‑agent string. They exist for security and troubleshooting (for example, to detect abuse), are not used to build any profile of you, are not sold or shared, and are rotated and deleted in the ordinary course of server maintenance.

5. Advertising and cookies

The site carries advertising. Two different things can be involved, and they behave differently:

a. Our own sponsored ticker

The scrolling text ticker in the footer is hosted by us. It sets no cookie and loads nothing from another company. So that we can tell an advertiser how their slot performed, the site counts, per slot, how many times it was shown and how many times it was clicked. Those counts are aggregate totals per day — a number going up. No identifier, cookie or IP address is stored with them, and they cannot be traced back to a person or a session.

b. Google AdSense and other ad networks

Where third‑party ad units are served (for example Google AdSense), that company receives your request directly and may set its own cookies or read device identifiers. In particular:

Visitors in the EU, EEA and UK are asked for consent before any advertising cookie is set or any personalised ad is served, and can withdraw that consent at any time; where consent is refused, only non‑personalised advertising is shown. We do not control what an ad network collects, and this policy cannot speak for them — their own policies apply to that processing.

c. Everything else

Apart from advertising, the page loads no third‑party resources at all. The fonts are served from this domain rather than a font CDN, precisely so that your visit is not disclosed to another company. There are no embedded widgets, comment systems or social buttons.

6. Visitor statistics

We look at traffic in aggregate — how many page views and roughly how many distinct visitors per day, which pages were opened, which sites linked here, and the broad device and browser mix. This is produced from the server logs described in section 4; no script runs in your browser to measure you, and no analytics company is involved. When distinct visitors are counted, IP addresses are first hashed with a secret that is discarded whenever the service restarts, so the statistics themselves contain no address and cannot be reversed.

7. Children

The site is a general‑purpose utility and is not directed at children. Since no personal information is collected from anyone, none is collected from children either.

8. Your rights

Data‑protection laws such as India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, the EU/UK GDPR and the CCPA give you rights over personal data held about you. We hold no account, profile or contact record for you: your settings are already under your sole control in your own browser, and our statistics are aggregate counts with no identifier attached. The one exception is the server logs in section 4, which contain IP addresses for a limited period; write to us with the approximate time of your visit and we will remove the matching entries where we still hold them. Rights against an ad network must be exercised with that company — the links in section 5 are the fastest route.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date.
