Privacy Policy for CostCompass

Last Updated: June 24, 2026

At CostCompass, we believe that your financial and travel data is your own business. We have built our application from the ground up with a "privacy-first" mindset.

In short: CostCompass operates 100% locally on your device. We do not collect, store, share, or sell any of your personal information, travel plans, or financial data.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Because CostCompass is designed as a standalone, client-side application, we do not require you to create an account, nor do we collect any personal data. Specifically, we do not collect:

2. How Your Data is Processed

All calculations regarding your travel budget are performed locally in your web browser. When you enter numbers into CostCompass, that data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers.

3. Local Storage and Cookies

CostCompass may use your browser's local storage (e.g., localStorage) strictly to save your UI preferences, such as your Light/Dark theme selection. This data is kept solely on your device and is not accessible by us. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

4. Third-Party Links

Our application does not contain integrated third-party tracking scripts (like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel). However, if we provide outbound links to other external websites, please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to read their privacy statements.

5. Children's Privacy

Our application is completely safe for all ages. Because we do not collect any personal information whatsoever, we do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Since we do not collect user emails, we cannot notify you directly of changes. Any updates will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top.
