Privacy Policy

1. Overview

CommonTime ("we", "our", "the service") is a group scheduling tool available at https://commontime-3.cc. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect when you use CommonTime, how we use it, and your rights with respect to that data.

CommonTime is designed to require no account or login for basic use. We collect only what is necessary to operate the scheduling service.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Poll content (Supabase)

When you create a scheduling poll, we store the following in our database (hosted on Supabase):

• Poll title (entered by the organizer)
• Proposed date and time slots
• Participant display names (entered by participants themselves)
• Availability selections per participant
• An optional organizer edit code (a random token, not a password)

We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifying information as part of the poll flow. Participant names are self-reported and may be pseudonyms.

2.2 Analytics (PostHog)

We use PostHog to collect anonymized product analytics. This includes:

• Page views and navigation paths
• Feature interaction events (e.g., poll created, slot selected)
• A/B test participation flags
• Approximate geographic region (country level, derived from IP)
• Browser type, device type, and screen size

PostHog events do not contain poll titles, participant names, or any content you enter into polls unless you explicitly submit a feedback form. IP addresses are not stored by us beyond what PostHog processes for approximate geolocation.

2.3 Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:

• PostHog analytics cookie — a randomly generated anonymous identifier that persists your session across page visits so we can count unique visitors and measure funnel conversion. This cookie contains no personal information.
• Recent polls (local storage) — poll IDs you have created or joined are stored locally in your browser so the "Recent polls" list works. This data never leaves your device.
• Edit code (local storage) — if you create a poll, your organizer edit code is stored locally so you can return to edit the poll without re-entering the code. This is stored only on your device.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies beyond PostHog.

2.4 Error monitoring (Sentry)

We use Sentry to capture application errors. Sentry reports may include browser information, the page URL where an error occurred, and error stack traces. Sentry reports do not contain poll content or participant names.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To operate the scheduling service and display polls to participants
• To allow organizers to edit and manage their polls
• To understand how the product is used and improve it (analytics and error monitoring)
• To run A/B tests on product features in order to improve user experience

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not share poll content with third parties beyond the processors listed in Section 5.

4. Data Retention

Poll data (titles, participant names, availability selections) is retained indefinitely unless you request deletion (see Section 6). We may implement automatic expiry of inactive polls in a future update; if we do, we will update this policy.

PostHog analytics data is retained according to PostHog's standard retention policy (12 months for event data by default). Sentry error data is retained for 90 days.

Local storage data (recent polls, edit codes) remains on your device until you clear your browser storage or we remove it programmatically.

5. Third-Party Processors

We use the following third-party services to operate CommonTime. Each acts as a data processor on our behalf:

6. Your Rights (GDPR and Similar Laws)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection laws, you have the following rights:

• Access — you may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Deletion — you may request that we delete your poll data (including participant names and availability selections) at any time.
• Portability — you may request your poll data in a machine-readable format (JSON).
• Correction — you may request that inaccurate data be corrected.
• Objection — you may object to processing based on our legitimate interests.

Because CommonTime does not require accounts, we identify polls and participants by poll ID and participant name. To exercise your rights, contact us at the address in Section 8 and include the poll URL and participant name so we can locate the relevant records.

7. Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Database access is restricted by Supabase Row-Level Security policies. We do not store passwords for anonymous users. Edit codes are random tokens and are not linked to your identity.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you have a security concern, please contact us immediately at contact@commontime-3.cc.

8. Contact

For data requests, questions about this policy, or any privacy-related concerns, contact us at:

We will respond to data access or deletion requests within 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of CommonTime after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
