# Set your organization's time zone

> Configure a time zone for your organization so that automatic reminders send at the right time and dates in emails match your local time.

ClearPolicy uses your organization's time zone for dates in emails — such as request deadlines — and for when automatic reminders go out. New organizations start with the application's default time zone. Change it if your team works in a different zone.

## Set a time zone

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open organization settings">
    Click **Settings** in the sidebar, then under **Organization** select **Profile**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a time zone">
    In the **Organization information** section, open the **Time zone** dropdown and select your time zone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your changes">
    Click **Save** to apply the new time zone.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Where time zone applies

Your organization's time zone is used in two ways:

### Scheduling

* **Automatic reminders** — ClearPolicy sends automatic reminders in the morning in your organization's time zone.

### Date formatting in emails

* **Request emails** — The deadline shown to recipients when request expiry is enabled.
* **Reminder emails** — Timestamps shown in automatic and manual reminder notifications.

<Note>
  Expired request processing still runs on a fixed UTC-based schedule and is not affected by this setting.
