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:

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

These providers maintain appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
