Privacy Policy

Introduction

Living Cost Atlas is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our website. We built Living Cost Atlas with a privacy-first mindset: we collect as little data as possible and never sell it.

• Contact information if you reach out to us directly

When you visit Living Cost Atlas, basic analytics data may be collected automatically:

• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time on page
• General geographic region (country-level only)

We do not collect names, emails or any personally identifiable information through normal browsing.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected data solely to:

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling or any commercial purpose beyond operating Living Cost Atlas.

Cookies

Living Cost Atlas may use minimal cookies for analytics and session management. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use Living Cost Atlas.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share anonymised, aggregated data (e.g. total page visits) for transparency purposes. If we use analytics providers, they are bound by strict data processing agreements.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect information against unauthorised access or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We recommend not sharing sensitive personal data through any online service.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

• Access to personal data we hold about you
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Objection to processing

Children's Privacy

Living Cost Atlas is not directed at individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
