Privacy Policy
The Countdown and Calendar Tool Collect Nothing
The live countdown timer, the date calculations, and the "Add to calendar" button are all plain JavaScript running in your own browser. The calendar file (.ics) is generated locally on your device and handed straight to your browser's download function. None of that involves sending anything to a server, no text or click you make on this tool is stored, logged, or visible to us in any form.
What This Site Collects When You Simply Visit It
Like almost every website, basic technical information passes through our hosting provider automatically as part of serving pages, such as your approximate region (derived from network routing, not GPS), the page requested, and standard technical request headers. This is normal web server operation, not something specific to this site.
This site does not run any individual-visitor analytics service. The only interaction data collected is the anonymous thumbs-up/thumbs-down feedback signal described below, if you choose to use it. There is no advertising tracking pixel, no cross-site tracking cookie, and no sale of visitor data to third parties.
Feedback and Contact
If you use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback control on this site, an anonymous rating is recorded for that page, with no personal information attached and no way to trace it back to you individually.
If you email us at contact@whenisblackfriday.xyz, we naturally receive whatever information you choose to include in that email, such as your email address and the content of your message. That information is used only to reply to you and is not added to any marketing list or shared with third parties.
See the live Black Friday countdown, the full date table, and the history page for the content this policy covers.
Data Retention and Your Choices
Because the countdown and calendar tool never transmit anything to a server, there is no server-side copy of your activity to retain or delete in the first place. The anonymous feedback signal described above is not tied to an individual visitor identity, so there is no per-person record to request or delete. If you emailed us directly, that message sits in a normal email inbox like any other message you send someone, and you can ask us to delete a specific email exchange at any time using the same contact address.
Your Rights Under CCPA, GDPR and Similar Laws
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under a privacy law such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a similar US state privacy law, or the EU/UK GDPR, including the right to know what personal data is held about you, the right to ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and the right to object to certain processing. Given that this site collects no personal data through the tool itself and no advertising trackers, in practice the only personal data that can exist is whatever you voluntarily sent in an email. Any such request can be sent to contact@whenisblackfriday.xyz and will be honored without requiring an account, a login, or a fee.
Children's Privacy and Third-Party Links
This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, through the countdown tool. The pages on this site link to other pages within the same site; those internal links stay entirely within this domain. If an external link is ever added, it will be to reputable, publicly documented sources, and this policy only covers this site, not any third-party destination a visitor chooses to click through to.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects what data is collected, this page will be updated and the date below will change. Checking back here occasionally is the simplest way to stay current, since there is no account or email list to notify separately.

A Note on Hosting and Delivery
Like any website, this one is served through infrastructure operated by a hosting and content-delivery provider, which handles routine technical tasks such as routing your request to a nearby server and applying basic security protections against abusive traffic. That is standard, provider-level infrastructure operation, separate from anything this site itself chooses to collect, and it does not involve building an individual profile of you as a visitor.
