Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 6, 2026

Skies is a world clock extension for Chrome and Firefox. It doesn't have accounts, doesn't collect analytics, and doesn't sell or share personal data. This page covers what the extension stores, the permissions it asks for, and what this website records.

What stays on your device

Your city list, any names you give cities, their order, and your settings are saved locally in your browser. None of this is sent to us, and it's removed when you uninstall the extension.

Network requests

Since version 3.2.0, Skies makes no network requests. City search, sky colors, flags and fonts are all built into the extension. Links you choose in its settings, such as Rate or Send Feedback, open in a browser tab.

Versions before 3.2.0, which were available only for Chrome, contacted these services:

• City search. The text you typed in search was sent to the Open-Meteo Geocoding API to find matching cities.
• Sunrise and sunset. The coordinates and time zone of each city you added were sent to the Open-Meteo Forecast API, about once a day, to pick the color of its card.
• Flags. Country flags in search results loaded from flagcdn.com.

These requests didn't carry any identifier from Skies. As with any web request, these providers could see your IP address.

Permissions

On Chrome, Skies requests no permissions. On Firefox, it requests only the storage permission, which keeps your city list in the browser's extension storage. Firefox doesn't show a prompt for it.

Feedback

When you uninstall Skies, or choose Send Feedback in its settings, a Google Form opens. Filling it in is optional. Anything you submit is collected by Google Forms and read by us to improve Skies.

Email updates

If you sign up for Pro launch notifications, your email address is processed by Buttondown, a third-party newsletter service. We use it only to tell you when Skies Pro becomes available.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send. If you'd like your address deleted entirely, email hello@useskies.com and I'll remove it. We do not share your address with anyone else, and we do not use it for anything other than the purpose above.

This website

useskies.com uses Umami to count visits. Umami doesn't set cookies or collect personal information. It records anonymous details such as the page viewed, the referring site, browser, operating system, device type, and country. This applies to the website only. The extension itself has no analytics.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes basic request data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.

Changes

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