Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the Schengen Visit Calculator ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our calculator tool.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use our calculator, you may enter:

  • Entry and exit dates for your Schengen Area visits
  • Reference dates for calculating compliance
  • Proposed trip dates for planning purposes

If you create an account, we also collect:

  • Your email address (for account verification and login)
  • Your password (stored securely using industry-standard hashing)

2.2 Data Storage

Anonymous users (no account):

All data you enter into the calculator is stored locally in your browser's local storage. This means:

  • Your data never leaves your device
  • We do not have access to your travel information
  • Your data is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties
  • Clearing your browser data will delete your saved information

Account holders:

If you create an account, your travel data is stored on our servers (hosted by Supabase) to enable cross-device syncing. This means:

  • Your stay and trip data is stored securely in our database
  • Your data is accessible from any device where you sign in
  • You can delete your data and account at any time through account settings

2.3 Payment Information

If you purchase a paid feature, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details or full payment information on our servers. We only store a record that a payment was successfully completed and the associated account. For details on how Stripe handles your payment data, see Stripe's privacy policy.

2.4 Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics, including:

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • General location data (country/region level only)
  • Device and browser information
  • Performance metrics

This data is aggregated and does not include any personal travel information you enter into the calculator.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information collected through analytics is used solely to:

  • Improve the calculator's functionality and user experience
  • Understand how users interact with the tool
  • Identify and fix technical issues
  • Monitor application performance

4. Data Security

For anonymous users, your travel data is stored locally on your device and the security of this data is dependent on your device's security measures.

For account holders, we use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted database connections, secure password hashing, and HTTPS for all data transmission.

We recommend:

  • Using secure, password-protected devices
  • Keeping your browser and operating system updated
  • Using a strong, unique password for your account
  • Using caution when accessing the calculator on public or shared devices

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our calculator uses minimal cookies and tracking technologies:

  • Local storage for saving your calculator data on your device
  • Analytics cookies for anonymous usage tracking (via Vercel Analytics)

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

7. Children's Privacy

Our calculator is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. International Data Transfers

For anonymous users, all your travel data remains on your local device and there are no international data transfers of your personal travel information.

For account holders, your data may be processed and stored by our third-party service providers (Supabase, Stripe, Resend, Vercel) in data centres outside your country of residence. These providers maintain appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

9. Your Rights

You have control over your data:

  • Anonymous users can delete their data at any time by clearing their browser's local storage
  • Account holders can delete their account and all associated data through the account settings page
  • You can request a copy of your data by contacting us at support@schengenmonitor.com
  • You can opt out of analytics by using browser privacy extensions or settings

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
