Privacy Policy

TripCostly is a browser-based travel cost calculator. We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use our tools. All trip cost calculations are performed entirely in your browser and are never sent to our servers. We may collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics, including pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/region level only). This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site and to improve our services. • Functional cookies to remember your preferences such as currency selection. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some functionality but will not prevent you from using our calculators.

The anonymous analytics data we collect is used solely to: • Improve our travel cost calculators and destination data. • Understand which destinations and features are most popular. • Monitor site performance and fix technical issues. • Develop new tools and features based on usage patterns. We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Since all calculations run in your browser, your trip details (destinations, budgets, travel dates) are stored only on your device. We do not have access to this data. Any preferences you save are stored in your browser's local storage and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

We use the following third-party services: • Google Analytics — for anonymous site usage analytics. Google's privacy policy applies to data collected by their service. • FormSubmit — for processing contact form submissions. Messages sent through our contact form are delivered to our email. We do not embed third-party advertising or tracking pixels beyond analytics.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to: • Access any personal data we hold about you. • Request deletion of your data. • Opt out of analytics tracking. • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Since we collect minimal data and do not require accounts, most of these rights are automatically satisfied. To opt out of analytics, you can use browser extensions such as Google Analytics Opt-out or enable Do Not Track in your browser settings.

TripCostly is a general-audience travel planning tool. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since no account creation or personal data submission is required to use our calculators, children can safely use the site under parental guidance.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of TripCostly after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
