Data transparency
Data Sources and Calculation Notes
Date and time pages depend on structured data, browser settings, timezone rules, calendar logic, and public event information. This page explains how WhenIsDate approaches those data sources and where users should be careful.

Local time and browser timezone
Live local-time features may use your browser or device timezone settings. If your device timezone is incorrect, the local display may also be incorrect. For another city, use a city world-clock page rather than changing your device time.
Timezone rules
Timezone names, UTC offsets, and daylight saving behavior are based on standard timezone concepts and structured timezone data. Governments can change daylight saving rules, so future offsets should be treated as planning guidance until confirmed.
Calendars
Yearly and monthly calendars are generated using standard calendar rules. Country and holiday overlays can vary by jurisdiction, local observance, or official announcement. Calendar pages are useful for planning, but official deadlines should be verified.
Holidays and events
Holiday pages may use structured event data, public calendars, and known recurrence rules. Some holidays are fixed-date, some move by weekday, and some depend on religious or lunar calendars. We mark uncertainty where practical.
Sunrise and sunset
Sunrise and sunset pages are planning references. Actual visible sunrise can vary with elevation, weather, terrain, atmospheric conditions, and exact location. Use local official or specialist sources for safety-critical outdoor planning.
Updates
High-priority pages are reviewed more often than long-tail pages. Search Console signals, user corrections, and internal quality audits help decide which pages need updates first.
Why results can differ between websites
Two websites may show different results because they use different timezone databases, update schedules, holiday definitions, geocoding assumptions, or daylight saving rules. A city page may also differ from a precise street address because sunrise, sunset, and local observance can vary within a region. When the difference matters, use the most official local source available.
WhenIsDate pages should make these limits easier to understand. The goal is to give a useful planning answer, not to hide uncertainty. Data notes, FAQ answers, and related links are added to priority pages so users can understand why a date or time appears the way it does.
Ongoing review
This page is part of the site trust and quality system. We review these policy pages when new tools, datasets, advertising features, or editorial workflows are added. The practical standard is that users should understand what the site does, where the data comes from, how to report issues, and when they should verify an answer with an official source. Clear policies help keep the utility pages useful, accountable, and easier to evaluate.
