Privacy Policy for SUNSET TIME

1. Information Collection

SUNSET TIME collects limited non-personal data to provide you with accurate sunrise and sunset information. We collect:

• IP Address Information: We may use your IP address to determine your approximate location (city level) to provide relevant local sunset and sunrise information. This is done through third-party IP geolocation services.
• Precise Location (Optional): With your explicit consent, we may request access to your device's precise location through your browser's geolocation API to provide more accurate local information.
• Browsing Data: Information about your browsing behavior on our website through cookies and similar technologies.

Important: We do not store your precise location data. Location information is only used temporarily to provide you with relevant sunset and sunrise times, and is not retained on our servers.

2. Location Information

To provide you with accurate local sunrise and sunset times, SUNSET TIME may collect and process location information in the following ways:

• IP-based Location: We automatically determine your approximate location (city level) based on your IP address using third-party geolocation services. This happens without requiring your consent as it only provides city-level accuracy.
• Precise Location Access: We may request access to your device's precise location through your browser's Geolocation API. This requires your explicit consent and will only be used to provide more accurate local sunset and sunrise information.
• Third-party Services: We use reputable third-party services for IP geolocation, including ipapi.co, ipapi.com, and ipgeolocation.io. These services have their own privacy policies.

Data Retention: We do not store your location data on our servers. Location information is processed temporarily to provide you with relevant information and is immediately discarded.

Your Control: You can deny location access requests from your browser, and our service will still function using IP-based location or default to a standard location.
