Summary:Various techniques of time zone conversion are disclosed in this application. For example, in one embodiment, a computing device can include a synchronizer configured to receive a set of time zone rules from a server. The set of time zone rules individually including a time zone identifier, a start date, and a time offset from a standard time beginning from the start date. The computing device can also include a converter operatively coupled to the synchronizer. The converter is configured to selectively convert time zone sensitive data received at or stored on the computing device to a target time zone based on the set of time zone rules.
