3. Information We DO Collect
3.1 Automatically Collected Data
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical data when you visit:
- Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time/date of visits. This is standard server log data.
- Cookies: We use essential cookies to enable core website functionality. We may also use analytics cookies (see Section 4).
- Usage data: Aggregate, anonymized data about how visitors interact with the site (e.g., how many people used the tool today). This data is never linked to individual users.
3.2 Contact Form Data
If you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not used for marketing.
4. Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site in aggregate. We configure these tools to anonymize IP addresses and do not use them to track individuals across websites. You can opt out of analytics tracking by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser or using a browser extension.
5. Cookies
We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how the site is used in aggregate. You can disable these via your browser settings.
- Preference cookies: Remember your settings (e.g., theme preference). Optional.
We do not use advertising cookies or sell access to cookie data.
6. Third-Party Services
Our website may include links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies. We do not share your personal data with third parties except as described in this policy.
7. Children's Privacy
Our tool is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
8. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited data we do collect. All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal data, these rights are rarely applicable. For contact form submissions, you can request deletion by emailing privacy@birthdayrarity.com.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
