Our Commitment to Privacy
At CountDay.org, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. We've designed our service to collect as little data as possible while still providing you with a great experience. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
Information We Collect
Data You Create
When you create countdowns on CountDay.org, all data (event names, dates, emojis, and settings) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers. We cannot see, access, or retrieve your countdown data.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit CountDay.org, our hosting provider may automatically collect standard web server logs, which can include your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. We minimize this data collection and do not use it for tracking or profiling purposes.
How We Use Information
Since your countdown data is stored locally on your device, we don't use it for anything. We don't have access to it. The minimal server logs we may collect are used only for:
- Maintaining the security of our website
- Understanding general usage patterns (e.g., total page views)
- Troubleshooting technical issues
Third-Party Services
CountDay.org uses the following third-party services:
- Google Fonts — We use Google Fonts to display typography. Google may collect your IP address when fonts are loaded. Google's Privacy Policy
We do not use analytics services, advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels.
Cookies
CountDay.org does not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Your browser may store essential data (like your countdowns) in localStorage, which is different from cookies and remains entirely on your device.
Data Security
Since your countdown data is stored locally on your device, its security is managed by your browser and device. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated. Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure secure communication.
Your Rights
You have full control over your data:
- Access — Your countdown data is stored in your browser. You can view it anytime.
- Delete — Delete individual countdowns using the delete button, or clear all data by clearing your browser's localStorage for countday.org.
- Export — Currently, we don't offer an export feature, but since data is in localStorage, you can access it directly through your browser's developer tools.
Children's Privacy
CountDay.org is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data, there is no specific information about children stored on our systems.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify users by posting a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
