1. Overview
Countdown-to provides countdown pages, date information and related tools. You can browse the public website without creating an account.
This policy applies to countdown-to.com and its public pages. It does not replace the privacy policies of third-party services linked from this website.
2. Information we process
When you contact us, we receive the name, email address, subject and message you choose to provide. We use this information only to review and respond to your request.
For security and abuse prevention, the contact form temporarily processes a one-way security reference derived from the connecting IP address and recent submission times. These rate-limit records expire after approximately one hour.
Our hosting provider may create standard server logs containing an IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, referring page and date and time of a request.
3. Information stored on your device
The site uses browser local storage to remember your theme and favorite countdowns. These preferences remain on your device and are not stored in our content database.
The site reads your browser-reported time zone to display countdown dates in local time. This happens in your browser. The progressive web app may also use a service worker and browser cache to improve loading and offline behavior.
4. Google Analytics and advertising
When enabled, Google Analytics may process information such as page visits, device and browser information, approximate location derived from an IP address, and interactions with the website to provide aggregated measurement.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this website and other sites on the Internet.
Other third-party advertising vendors or networks may also use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to deliver and measure ads. Their activities are governed by their own privacy policies.
6. How information is used and shared
We use information to operate and secure the website, answer messages, maintain functionality, understand aggregate use when analytics is enabled, and display advertising when enabled.
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by providers that host the website, deliver email, provide analytics or advertising, or help prevent fraud. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect rights, safety and security.
7. Retention and security
Contact messages may be retained in our email system for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, keep business records, prevent abuse or meet legal obligations. Standard server-log retention is determined by the hosting configuration.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent, or lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.
To make a request, email info@countdown-to.com. We may need to verify your request before responding. You can opt out of personalized Google advertising through Google Ads Settings.
9. Children’s privacy
The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13 through the contact form.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the website, providers or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top of this page will identify the latest version.
Questions or privacy requests can be sent to info@countdown-to.com.
