Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Usage data: browser, device, pages visited (auto-collected).
• Rough location: city/region from IP to show the right timezone.
• Contact info: name/email—only if you message us.
• Cookies/local storage: theme choice, basic analytics.

No sensitive data, GPS, or info from children under 13.

Why we collect it

1. Show an accurate, real-time Christmas countdown.
2. Keep the site fast, secure, and bug-free.
3. Remember your preferences (e.g., dark mode).
4. Answer your emails or social posts.
5. Meet legal and security obligations.

We never sell or rent your data. Aggregated, anonymous stats may be shared.

Third-party helpers

• Cloudflare (security/CDN)
• Plausible Analytics (privacy-first stats)
• Email provider (handles messages)

They receive only what’s needed and follow their own privacy rules.

Cookies

Essential to run the site, remember settings, and count visits (anonymously).
Disable them in your browser if you wish—but some features may break.

Data retention

• Server logs: ≤ 30 days.
• Emails: until we’ve helped you, then deleted (≤ 12 months).
• Analytics: kept only in aggregated form.

Security & transfers

We use HTTPS, firewalls, and least-privilege access. Data may be processed outside your country; we apply GDPR-level safeguards.

Kids

Not aimed at under-13s. Let us know if we’ve collected a child’s data—we’ll erase it.

Changes

We’ll update this page for any major changes and flag them on the site. Continued use means you accept the revised policy.

Stay merry—and rest assured your data is on the nice list! 🎄
