Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 31, 2026

When Is Christmas (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates whenischristmas.us. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it may be used and disclosed, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

Our Christmas countdown is designed to work without requiring an account. The timer uses the date and time available on your device to calculate how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds remain until Christmas. That calculation occurs in your browser, and we do not need you to submit your device time to use the countdown.

Our hosting, security, analytics, or performance systems may automatically receive limited technical information. This can include your Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate region, timestamps, and diagnostic data. We may also receive information you voluntarily provide when contacting us, such as your name, email address, and message.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your browser. We may use essential cookies to operate, secure, and remember basic website preferences. If analytics, advertising, embedded content, or other optional services are enabled, those providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies. Where required, we will request consent before placing nonessential cookies.

You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect embedded content, saved preferences, or other website features. Your browser’s help section usually explains how to review these controls.

How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

• operate and display the website and its countdown tools;
• maintain security, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical problems;
• understand general traffic and improve usability, content, and performance;
• respond to questions, corrections, or other messages;
• meet legal obligations and enforce applicable website terms.

How Information May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information for money. Information may be disclosed to service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, email, advertising, or website maintenance, but only as reasonably necessary for their services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, to investigate misuse, or as part of a merger, sale, or transfer of website assets.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including security and legal compliance. Retention periods may vary by data type and provider. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction or deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information. You may also have rights to restrict processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain advertising or sharing. Legal exceptions and identity verification may apply.

To submit a request, contact us using the address below and describe what you need. We will respond as required by applicable law. You may also manage cookies through your browser or any consent controls displayed on the website. Where applicable, we will recognize legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals through supported website systems.

Children’s Privacy

The website provides general-audience Christmas information and is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13. Children should not send personal information without permission from a parent or guardian. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

External Links

Our pages may link to websites that we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any external website before providing information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, service providers, or legal obligations change. The revised version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may also be highlighted through an additional notice when appropriate.
