Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
WhenSunrise.com ("we", "us") provides sunrise, sunset, prayer time, and moon phase information. This policy explains what data is processed when you use the site.
What we collect
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage (pages visited, approximate location by country/city, device type). Google Analytics may set cookies and collects data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.
- Location. Your device location is only accessed if you click the "detect location" button and grant your browser's permission. Coordinates are used on your device to compute times and are never stored on our servers — we don't have any servers; all calculations run in your browser.
- Preferences. Your time-format choice (12h/24h) is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never leaves your device.
Third-party services
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim — when you search for a city or use location detection, the search text or coordinates are sent to Nominatim to look up place names (OSMF Privacy Policy).
- Open-Meteo — the coordinates of the selected location are sent to Open-Meteo to fetch current weather (Open-Meteo terms).
- Google Fonts & Tailwind CDN — fonts and styles are loaded from their respective CDNs, which receive your IP address as part of serving those files.
What we don't do
- We don't require accounts or collect names, email addresses, or payment details.
- We don't sell or share personal data with advertisers.
- We don't store your searches or location on any server of ours.
Your choices
You can block cookies and analytics with your browser settings or an ad blocker — the site works fully without them. You can clear the stored time-format preference by clearing your browser's site data.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
