1. Introduction

At Countr, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our countdown timer application. By using Countr, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, full name, and password. Your password is encrypted and stored securely.

Countdown Data

We collect and store the countdown information you create, including event names, dates, descriptions, emojis, colors, categories, reminder preferences, and any images or photos you upload.

Payment Information

If you subscribe to our Pro plan, payment information is collected and processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We do not store your full credit card information on our servers. We only retain transaction records and subscription status.

Usage Information

We automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with Countr, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and access times.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and improve our service
  • To create and manage your account
  • To process your transactions and manage your subscription
  • To send you countdown reminders via email as you've configured
  • To respond to your comments, questions, and customer service requests
  • To send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages
  • To monitor and analyze usage patterns and trends to improve user experience
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security vulnerabilities

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Countr:

Supabase

We use Supabase for database hosting, authentication, and file storage. Supabase is SOC 2 Type II compliant and follows industry-standard security practices. Your data is stored on secure servers with encryption at rest and in transit.

Stripe

We use Stripe to process subscription payments. Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of certification in the payments industry. When you make a payment, your payment information goes directly to Stripe and is not stored on our servers.

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)

We use Brevo for sending email reminders and transactional emails. Brevo is GDPR compliant and does not use your email address for any purpose other than delivering the emails we send through their service.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing the use of your information. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

Countr uses cookies and local storage to enhance your experience and maintain your session. We use authentication cookies to keep you logged in and local storage to save your preferences such as dark mode settings. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, but this may limit your ability to use certain features of our service. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking purposes.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers who perform services on our behalf (Supabase, Stripe, Brevo) under strict confidentiality agreements
  • When you choose to share a countdown via a public link, the countdown information you've chosen to share becomes publicly accessible
  • To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of Countr, our users, or the public
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will notify you before your information is transferred

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS, encryption of sensitive data at rest, regular security assessments, and restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you wish to delete your account, you can do so from your account settings. Upon deletion, we will remove your personal information and countdown data from our active databases within 30 days. Some information may be retained in backup systems for a limited period as required for legal or operational purposes. After this retention period, all data will be permanently deleted.

  • Access and update your account information at any time through your account settings
  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
