🔒 Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Welcome to Chrono Daemonium, operated by The Brass Vessel ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information generated or stored while using our astronomical timing engine and esoteric directory.

This Privacy Policy explains how our web application handles user data, geographic preferences, and client-side local storage.

2. Information We Process & Collect

Chrono Daemonium is designed with a privacy-first, client-side architecture. We do not require account creation, logins, or personal identification.

• Location Data (Coordinates & Zip Code): To calculate precise local sunrise, sunset, and planetary hour boundaries, you may provide coordinates, city/state inputs, or grant browser GPS permissions. Location lookups are processed anonymously via public geocoding endpoints.
• Local Browser Storage (localStorage): Preferences such as latitudinal/longitudinal coordinates, timezone settings, and notification choices are stored exclusively on your device in your browser's local storage (`localStorage`).
• Notification Permissions: If enabled, browser desktop alerts for planetary hour shifts or decan transitions run entirely through your local browser session.

3. Third-Party Services & APIs

To provide external utilities, Chrono Daemonium integrates with a minimal set of third-party web services:

• Geocoding APIs (Open-Meteo & Zippopotam.us): Used when manually searching location coordinates by City, State, or Zip Code. Query strings are sent securely over HTTPS without attaching personal user identifiers.
• Google Calendar Integration: When exporting ritual windows or active decan dates to Google Calendar, event parameters are formatted client-side and opened directly in Google's official export interface. We do not store or access your Google Calendar account data.

4. Cookies & Tracking

Chrono Daemonium does not use persistent tracking cookies, invasive third-party ad network pixels, or user profiling tools. All state management relies solely on local client storage on your device.

5. Managing Your Data & Clearing Storage

Since your preferences reside in your web browser, you have complete control over your data at all times. You can inspect, modify, or erase your stored preferences at any time by updating your parameters on the Settings Page or clearing your browser's local cache and site data.
