Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2, 2026

ZipToTimeZone ("we", "us", "our") operates the website ziptotimezone.com and the Zip to Timezone Lookup API (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

  • Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address through Firebase Authentication. You may sign in with email/password or Google Sign-In.
  • Payment information: When you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, bank account details, or other payment credentials on our servers. Stripe handles all payment data under their own Privacy Policy.
  • API usage data: We track the number of API calls made with your API key for quota enforcement. We log the API key used and request count per billing period. We do not log the specific zip codes you query.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the Service
  • To manage your account and subscription
  • To enforce API usage quotas and rate limits
  • To communicate with you about your account or the Service
  • To detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized use

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on Google Cloud Platform infrastructure through Firebase (Firestore database and Firebase Authentication). The entire Service, including API processing, data storage, authentication, and hosting, runs on Google Cloud's fully managed infrastructure.

Google Cloud maintains industry-leading security certifications and compliance standards, including SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256).

We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party advertising cookies. The only cookies used are functional session cookies required by Firebase Authentication to keep you signed in. These are strictly necessary for the Service to function and are not used for tracking or advertising purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data (email, API key, usage metrics) for as long as your account is active. If your subscription is canceled, your API key is deactivated but your account data is retained for 90 days in case you resubscribe. After 90 days, or upon request, your data will be deleted.
