Privacy Policy

Effective: April 20, 2026

1. Introduction

CronGen (https://cron-pattern.vercel.app) is a free online cron expression generator. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about any data practices. This policy explains what information we collect (and don't collect) when you use our site.

2. Information We Collect

CronGen is designed to be privacy-friendly:

  • No account required — you never need to sign up or log in.
  • No personal data — we do not collect names, emails, or any personally identifiable information.
  • All processing is local — cron expressions are built entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.
  • Theme preference — we store your light/dark theme choice in your browser's localStorage. This never leaves your device.

3. Cookies & Third-Party Services

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

Hosting & Analytics

This site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance purposes. We do not use any additional analytics tools.

4. Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal data, there is nothing to retain or delete. Browser localStorage data (theme preference) can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

5. Children's Privacy

CronGen is a general-purpose developer tool not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
