Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ZAXIS Ventures LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates DateAndTimezone ("the Website"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our Website.

2. Information We Collect

We are committed to minimal data collection:

• No account required: You can use all tools without creating an account or providing personal information.
• localStorage only: We use your browser's localStorage to save preferences (such as favorite time zones, alarm settings, or theme). This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
• No personal data collected by default: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through a contact form).
• Location data: Some features (like local time display) may request your browser's geolocation. This is optional, processed client-side only, and never stored on our servers.

3. Cookies and Tracking

• We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.
• We use only functional localStorage for user preferences.
• No third-party tracking cookies are placed on your device by us.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

Our Website may utilize the following third-party services which have their own privacy policies:

• Google Fonts: For typography (may log IP addresses per Google's privacy policy)
• Weather APIs: For weather data display
• ISS Tracking APIs: For International Space Station location data
• NASA APIs: For astronomy and space data
• Astronomy APIs: For eclipse, constellation, and celestial event data

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services.

6. Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage patterns. If analytics are implemented, they do not collect personally identifiable information and do not use cookies for tracking.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at zaxisventuresllc@gmail.com.

8. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected about you
• Know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights

Since we do not collect personal information by default, these rights are inherently satisfied. For any CCPA-related inquiries, contact us at zaxisventuresllc@gmail.com.

9. International Users

This Website is operated from the United States. If you are accessing the Website from outside the United States, please be aware that any information you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using the Website, you consent to such transfer and processing.

10. Data Retention

Since we primarily use localStorage, your data is stored on your own device and is under your control. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings. Any data voluntarily submitted through contact forms is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
