Your Responsibility

You can manage your communication preferences by updating your account settings or by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in marketing emails we send you. Please note that even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you important administrative messages related to your account or our Services.
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Due to the lack of a common understanding of how to interpret these signals, our Services do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under this age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at privacy@Timelix.com.
Timelix Kids Products
For our products specifically designed for children (such as Timelix Kids smartwatches), we have additional privacy protections in place and collect only the minimum information necessary to provide these services. A separate Children's Privacy Policy applies to these products, which is provided during the setup process.
International Data Transfers
Timelix is headquartered in the United States, and we have operations and service providers in various countries. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.
When we transfer your personal information internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law. These safeguards may include:
- Using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities
- Ensuring the recipient country has been deemed to provide adequate protection
- Obtaining your explicit consent for the transfer (where appropriate)
- Implementing additional security measures as required
