Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 May 2026
This policy describes how Sola (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use our website and apps (including HourGlass, Novello, and EraGuess) at this domain.
Information we collect
- Information you provide — for example, an email address if you sign up for Novello feature updates (stored on our server in a private list; we do not sell your email) or HourGlass reminders (stored locally in your browser until a backend notifier is live).
- Local storage — progress, preferences, and screen-time logs are saved in your browser so the apps work without an account.
- Cookies and similar technologies — if you accept advertising cookies, Google AdSense may set cookies to serve and measure ads. See our Cookie Policy.
- Server logs — our hosting may record standard technical data (IP address, user agent, request time) for security and debugging.
How we use information
We use information to:
- Run and improve our apps and website;
- Remember your choices and progress on your device;
- Send optional email reminders when you request them;
- Show advertising, only if you consent to advertising cookies, to help fund free tools.
Advertising and Google
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites.
Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit adssettings.google.com or aboutads.info.
Learn how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where applicable, we rely on consent for advertising cookies, legitimate interest for essential site operation and security, and consent or contract for optional features you request (such as email reminders).
Retention
Data in your browser remains until you clear site data or use in-app controls. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for operations and security.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. You can clear local storage in your browser, reject advertising cookies via our banner or Cookie Policy, and contact us with questions.
Children
Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
