What TimeBridge does and does not do
- No accounts
- No calendar access
- No meeting database
- No participant storage
- No AI
- No location tracking required
Where the work happens
Every timezone calculation runs in your browser, using the IANA timezone rules your browser already ships with. No request is made to work out what time it is somewhere, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
City search
The city list is bundled with the application. Searching filters that local list — what you type is never sent to a geocoding service or any other server, so the cities you are considering stay on your device.
Your timezone
TimeBridge may read the timezone your browser reports, purely to offer “use my timezone” as a shortcut. That is a timezone name such as Europe/Dublin, not a location, and you can ignore the suggestion or pick a different city entirely. No location permission is ever requested.
What is stored on your device
Local storage is used for a small set of harmless display preferences:
- 12-hour or 24-hour clock
- Default meeting duration and timeline precision
- Theme
- Default working hours
- Your city list — only if you explicitly turn that option on
Participant names, meeting titles, descriptions, meeting links, selected times and share links are deliberately never written to storage. They exist for as long as the tab is open and no longer.
Share links
A share link encodes the plan into the fragment of the URL — the part after the #, which browsers do not send to servers. There is no database record because there is nothing to look up: the plan travels inside the link.
That has a direct consequence worth stating plainly. Anyone who has the link can read everything encoded in it, including any participant names you added. The link is encoded, not encrypted, and TimeBridge will never describe it otherwise.
Calendar events
ICS files are generated in your browser and downloaded directly. The Google Calendar and Outlook buttons open those services’ own prefilled event forms with the details in the URL — TimeBridge is not connected to either service and cannot read, write or see your calendar. Nothing is authorised, and no event is stored here.
Analytics
If usage analytics are enabled, they record only that a generic action happened — the tool was opened, a city was added, a best-time search ran, an ICS file was generated, a share feature was used. They never include city names, participant names, meeting times, meeting titles or the contents of a share link.
No AI
Meeting ranking is a deterministic scoring function using the hours you configure and neutral clock bands. The same inputs always give the same answer, and the planner can show the exact per-person scores behind any recommendation. No model is involved and nothing is sent anywhere to be scored.
