World Holidays and Events

World Holidays and Events (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates worldholidaysandevents.com (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have regarding your data.

By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

We collect the following types of information:

Account information

• Name and email address (provided when you create an account)
• Encrypted password (we never see or store plain-text passwords)
• If you sign in with Google or Facebook: your name, email address, and profile picture from those providers

Payment information

• Payment method details (collected directly by our payment processor Stripe — we never see your full card number)
• Billing history (which queries were charged and when)

Usage information

• Which countries, states, cities, and years you search for
• Number of paid queries per day (for daily cap enforcement)
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, timestamps

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain your account
• Authenticate you when you sign in
• Process payments and prevent fraud
• Provide holiday and event information you request
• Enforce our daily usage cap and pricing terms
• Send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset, receipts, payment failures)
• Improve the Service through usage analysis (in aggregate, not individually identifying you)

• Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising. We do not sell your information to third parties.

We rely on the following trusted third-party services to operate the Service. Each has its own privacy policy that governs its handling of your data:

• Supabase — authentication and database hosting (privacy policy)
• Stripe — payment processing and invoicing (privacy policy)
• Google — if you choose to sign in with Google (privacy policy)
• Meta / Facebook — if you choose to sign in with Facebook (privacy policy)
• Microsoft 365 — transactional email delivery (privacy policy)
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) — server infrastructure (privacy policy)

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in across pages, remember your preferences, and verify the authenticity of your session. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

You can disable cookies in your browser, but the Service may not function correctly without them.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information from our active systems within 30 days. Payment records may be retained longer where required by tax or legal regulations.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your account and associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@worldholidaysandevents.com. We will respond within 30 days.

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us their information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Our servers are operated by Amazon Web Services and may be located in countries different from your own. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is protected wherever it is processed.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), encryption at rest, secure password hashing, and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If we discover a security incident affecting your data, we will notify you promptly as required by law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or via a notice on the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
