Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 7, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to Lazzy Cal. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

The Data We Collect

Lazzy Cal is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal personal data:

  • Text you enter for event extraction (only processed temporarily and not stored)
  • Browser timezone information (to ensure correct event times)
  • Anonymous usage statistics via Cloudflare analytics (no personal identifiers)

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information such as your name, email address, or location. The event data you input is processed temporarily and not stored on our servers after processing.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use only essential cookies necessary for the functioning of the website and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. These are used to ensure the security and proper operation of the service.

Cloudflare Turnstile may use browser fingerprinting techniques to distinguish between human and automated traffic, but this information is not used to personally identify you.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect to:

  • Process and extract events from the text you provide
  • Generate calendar links that match your timezone
  • Improve our event extraction algorithms (using anonymized data)
  • Protect against automated abuse of our services
  • Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve user experience

Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We use a limited set of third-party services to operate Lazzy Cal:

  • Cloudflare (for hosting, analytics, and bot protection)
  • Google Gemini (for natural language processing)

When you use Lazzy Cal, the text you input for event extraction is sent to Google's servers for processing through their Gemini API. This data is processed according to Google's data processing terms. No user identifiers are attached to this data.

We do not sell your personal data to any third parties.

International Data Transfers

Our services are hosted in the United States. If you are accessing our site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers maintain facilities.

Data Retention

We do not store the text you input for event extraction or the events extracted from it after processing is complete. This data exists only temporarily in memory during processing and is not persisted to any database.

Anonymous usage statistics may be retained for up to 30 days for analytics purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as:

  • The right to access information we hold about you
  • The right to request correction or deletion of your data
  • The right to restrict or object to processing
  • The right to data portability

Since we collect minimal personal data and do not require accounts, most of these rights are automatically satisfied through our privacy-by-design approach.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes.
