Introduction

Welcome to Planetary Hours Calculator. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our services, such as location data if you grant permission through your browser's geolocation features. This location data (latitude and longitude) is used solely for the purpose of calculating accurate sunrise and sunset times required for determining planetary hours at your specific location.

We do not store your precise location data on our servers after the calculation is performed. If you manually enter a location name, we may temporarily process this information to find its coordinates for the calculation, but it is not persistently stored in association with you.

We may also collect non-personal information, such as browser type, operating system, and usage patterns, through standard web analytics tools to improve our service. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

How We Use Your Information

We use the location information solely to perform the planetary hour calculations requested by you. Aggregated, non-personal usage data is used to understand how our service is used and to make improvements.

Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal location information with any third parties.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect the security of any information we process. However, please remember that no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Your Privacy Rights

You can refuse to grant location permission or revoke it at any time through your browser settings. If you do so, you will need to manually enter a location for calculations.

Policy Updates

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date.

Third-Party Services

We rely on several third-party services to provide core functionality:

• Google Maps Platform – used for location auto-complete, geocoding, reverse geocoding and timezone lookup. When you search for or select a place, the relevant query (e.g. text input, latitude/longitude) is forwarded to Google's servers. Google may temporarily log this request in accordance with their own Privacy Policy.
• Vercel – our application is hosted on Vercel, which automatically stores standard HTTP access logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamp, requested URL) for a short period to ensure platform reliability and security. These logs are automatically rotated and are not used to identify individual users.

We do not share additional personal data with these providers beyond what is strictly necessary to fulfil your request.

Server Logs & Cookies

The application itself does not set any tracking cookies nor uses browser local-storage to persist personal data. Our hosting provider (Vercel) may set essential cookies required for load-balancing or security. These cookies do not contain personal identifiers.

Standard server logs described in the previous section are kept for a limited time solely for debugging and security purposes and are automatically purged.
