2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data across all our applications:

  • No personal information — we have no user accounts or registration.
  • Timezone / location — detected locally in your browser to provide relevant defaults. Never sent to our servers.
  • Financial inputs (LoanLens) — all loan and savings calculations happen entirely in your browser. No figures are transmitted to any server.
  • Search queries (WorldTimeNow) — city searches are sent to third-party geocoding APIs (OpenStreetMap/Photon) to find coordinates. We do not log these queries.
  • Cookie consent preference — stored in your browser's localStorage only. Not transmitted anywhere.
  • Advertising data — Google AdSense may set cookies and collect data to serve relevant advertisements. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

3. Google AdSense and Cookies

We use Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-8747785874660369) to display advertisements on our sites. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our sites or other websites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

Users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a cookie consent banner before personalised ads are activated. You may decline consent and non-personalised ads will be shown instead.

5. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct or request deletion of personal data we hold about you.

As we collect no personally identifiable information, there is typically nothing to access or delete beyond your own browser's localStorage data, which you can clear at any time through your browser settings.

For any privacy-related requests, contact us at [email protected].

6. Financial Disclaimer (LoanLens)

LoanLens is provided for informational and planning purposes only. Results are estimates and do not constitute financial advice. Always confirm rates and terms with your lender. Edge4ward Pty Ltd does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).
