Privacy policy
The short version: your bank statement never leaves your device. We don’t have accounts, ads, tracking cookies or analytics.
Your bank statement
When you use the statement checker, the file is read and analysed by code running in your browser. It is not uploaded to us or anyone else, and we never see it. Closing or refreshing the page discards it.
Data stored on your device
If you mark a charge as “Not a subscription”, that choice is saved in your browser’s local storage so the checker remembers it next time. It stays on your device and you can remove it by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings. Calendar reminder files (.ics) are created in your browser and downloaded straight to your device.
Cookies
CancelCompass doesn’t set cookies for tracking, advertising or analytics.
Information other services receive
- Hosting. The site is hosted by Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify receives technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, and keeps it in server logs for security and to deliver the site.
- Fonts. Pages load fonts from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address and browser information when the fonts download.
- Links to other sites. Guides link to official help pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
When you contact us
If you use the contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you enter. The form is processed and stored by Netlify. We use it only to reply to you and to fix the issue you report, and we delete it when it’s no longer needed or when you ask us to.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under UK GDPR, Canada’s PIPEDA or US state privacy laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you. Because we don’t collect statement data or run accounts, the only personal data we may hold is what you send through the contact form. To make a request, use the contact form.
Children
CancelCompass is not aimed at children under 16.
Changes
If we change how we handle data, for example by adding analytics, we’ll update this page and the date at the top first.
