Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
Last Updated: March 1, 2026
Sunrise and Sunset Times ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website https://sunriseandsunsettimes.com (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to handling your information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and what choices you may have when using the Site.
1. Information We Collect
We do not require account registration, and we do not ask users to create profiles or submit personal details in order to use the Site. However, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically:
- IP Address: We may use your IP address in real time to estimate your approximate location and show relevant sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, and related sunlight information. IP addresses are not stored in our main database for this purpose.
- Server Logs: Our servers and hosting providers may automatically record technical information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, requested pages, access time, and referring URLs, for security, diagnostics, and operational purposes.
- Device and Browser Information: We may receive information about your device, browser, operating system, language settings, screen size, and general usage environment.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, advertising, security, and site performance, as described below.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Show sunrise, sunset, solar noon, daylight length, and related sun time information based on your approximate location or selected location.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
- Understand how visitors use the Site and improve page layout, performance, content, and usability.
- Display advertising content through third-party advertising services.
- Detect, investigate, and fix errors, service disruptions, abuse, or technical problems.
We do not sell personal data.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Advertising: We may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense and other advertising providers, to display ads. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, and, where permitted, personalize ads based on browsing activity.
- Analytics: We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics or similar tools, to understand traffic patterns, popular pages, device types, approximate locations, and user interaction with the Site. This information helps us improve the service.
Site Functionality and Performance: Cookies or similar technologies may be used to remember basic preferences, improve loading performance, or support normal website operation.
You can block, delete, or manage cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not function as intended if certain cookies are disabled.
4. Location Information
The Site may estimate your approximate location from your IP address or allow you to select a location manually. This is used to provide local sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, and related sunlight data.
IP-based location is approximate and may not match your exact position. We do not require precise GPS location to use the Site unless a feature clearly asks for location permission through your browser.
If your browser asks for location permission, you may allow or deny it. You can also change location permissions later in your browser or device settings.
5. Error Monitoring and Technical Diagnostics
We may use third-party services to monitor errors, crashes, performance issues, and service stability. When an error occurs, technical details such as page URL, browser type, device information, IP address, timestamp, and error messages may be transmitted to these services.
- This information is used to identify and fix technical problems, improve reliability, and protect the Site from abuse or malfunction.
6. Sharing of Information
- We may share limited information with:
- Service Providers: Companies that help us operate the Site, including hosting providers, analytics services, advertising networks, map providers, error monitoring tools, and security services.
- Legal and Safety Purposes: Authorities, regulators, or other parties when required by law, legal process, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of the Site, users, or others.
- We do not sell personal data, and we do not share information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.
7. Data Retention
IP addresses used for approximate location-based sun time results are processed in real time and are not stored in our main database for that purpose.
Server logs may be retained temporarily for security, diagnostics, abuse prevention, and operational purposes.
Analytics and advertising data may be retained by third-party providers according to their own retention policies.
Cookies remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them through your browser settings.
Error monitoring data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for debugging, stability, security, and service improvement.
8. International Data Transfers
Our servers, service providers, analytics tools, advertising partners, and other technical providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws of your jurisdiction.
- By using the Site, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in countries where our providers operate.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing.
European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions: You may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and data portability.
California and certain U.S. states: You may have rights to know, delete, correct, or opt out of certain uses of personal information, where applicable. We do not sell personal data.
