Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-20

The short version

Everything you type into our calculators runs entirely in your browser and is never sent to our servers. We do not require accounts, we do not run tracking pixels, and we do not sell data.

Calculator inputs

The points calculator, Green List checker and score converter execute as JavaScript on your device. Your inputs and results are processed locally and discarded when you close the page. If you use the "copy link to this result" feature, your inputs are encoded in the URL fragment (after the #), which is not sent to the server — it only ever exists in your browser and wherever you paste the link yourself.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly measurement tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. It gives us aggregate numbers — page views, referrers, countries — so we can tell which guides are useful.

We also use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Cloudflare Zaraz (served from our own domain), to measure how the tools and guides are used: for example whether a calculator is completed, how far a guide is scrolled, and which outbound links are clicked. IP addresses are anonymised, calculator inputs stay in your browser, and we record only coarse ranges (such as a points band), never the exact values you enter. This data is not used for advertising. You can block it entirely with any standard content blocker.

Advertising

This site displays (or may display) ads served by third-party networks, including Google AdSense and Ezoic. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

Contact form and email

If you contact us through the form or by email ([email protected]), we receive the name, email address and message you choose to send. The form is processed by Formspark, our form backend — their handling of your submission is covered by their own privacy policy. We use your details only to reply, and we delete conversation threads once the matter is resolved.

If you subscribe to policy-update emails, your email address is stored by our mailing provider, Buttondown, and used only to send those alerts. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link; unsubscribing deletes you from the list.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes the technical connection data necessary to serve pages (IP address, browser headers) under its own privacy policy.

Changes and questions

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it. Questions: contact us.
