Privacy Policy
The Compliance Cost Institute ("the Institute") is committed to protecting user privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the information practices applicable to this website, including what data is and is not collected during use of the Institute's tools and services.
No Personal Data Collection
This website does not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information (PII). No user accounts exist. No registration is required. No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personal identifiers are requested or recorded at any point during use of the website or its tools.
Local-Only Calculations
All cost models and interactive calculators published on this website execute entirely within the user's web browser. Input data entered into any calculator or analysis tool is processed locally on the user's device and is never transmitted to the Institute's servers or any third-party service. When the browser tab is closed, all input data ceases to exist. No calculation inputs or outputs are persisted on any server.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
This website operates on a cookieless architecture. No first-party cookies are set. No third-party tracking cookies are deployed. No browser fingerprinting, local storage identifiers, or similar persistent tracking mechanisms are employed.
Anonymous, Aggregated Analytics
The Institute may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data to understand general traffic patterns, such as page view counts and geographic distribution of visitors at the country level. This data is collected without cookies, does not contain any personally identifiable information, cannot be used to identify individual users, and is used solely for the purpose of improving the quality and relevance of published tools.
No Data Stored on Servers
The Institute does not operate application databases, user data stores, or session management systems. The website is served as a static application from edge content delivery networks. No server-side processing of user input occurs. There is no data to breach because no data is stored.
