Privacy Policy
At pyrodata.xyz, we believe in radical transparency, minimal data collection, and open access for pyrotechnic hobbyists, researchers, and builders.
Summary in Plain English
We do not sell user data, run cross-site advertising networks, or build user behavior profiles.
Formulas, calculators, and guides are accessible freely without requiring an account or credit card.
We only collect cookies for your favorite compositions and to remember if you accepted the banner.
01.Information We Do Not Collect
Unlike many commercial platforms, pyrodata.xyz does not require user registration. We do not ask for or collect:
- Your name, physical address, or phone number.
- Financial, payment, or credit card details.
- Biometric, identity verification, or background data.
- Cross-site advertising tracking tags or social media surveillance pixels.
02.Cookies
We keep our cookie use as minimal and straightforward as possible. We only collect cookies and local storage for two simple things:
- Your favorite compositions: So the recipes you save stay in your favorites when you come back.
- Banner acceptance: To remember whether you accepted or declined the cookie notice banner.
We do not track you across other websites or sell your information.
03.Server Logs & Operational Security
When you request pages on our site, our web servers and content delivery networks (CDNs) automatically record basic request metadata in standard technical server logs. This may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address (used for rate limiting and defense against distributed denial-of-service attacks).
- Browser user-agent, operating system, and referral headers.
- Time stamps and specific resource URIs accessed.
Server logs are retained temporarily for diagnostic, caching, and security enforcement purposes, and are periodically purged.
04.Third-Party Services and External Resources
Our website provides comprehensive directories of external suppliers, chemical vendors, books, and pyrotechnic associations. When you click an external link (such as Skylighter, Firework Specialties, or PyroChem sources), you leave our site and enter a third-party domain governed by their own respective privacy practices.
We do not control and are not responsible for the data collection methods, tracking mechanisms, or content of third-party platforms.
05.Bug Reports & User Submissions
If you voluntarily submit an error report or formula correction through our built-in Report an Issue modal, we receive the details and optional contact email you choose to provide. This information is used exclusively to inspect and resolve the reported issue.
06.Your Rights & Control
Because we do not store personal account databases, you do not need to submit formal requests to delete user accounts. You have total autonomy to:
- Clear all local cookies and storage directly through your browser settings at any time.
- Configure your browser to block third-party cookies or enable Do-Not-Track (DNT) / Global Privacy Control (GPC) headers.
- Update your cookie preference using our built-in consent modal.
