What we know about you: very little

The short version

• No account, no name, no email.
• No cookies. Visits are counted without recognising you.
• No ads, and nothing is sold or shared.
• Your plan is saved on your own device, not with us.

Your plan stays on your device

Your answers, ticks, notes, refund amounts and gratuity figures are saved in your browser’s storage on your device, so the plan is still there when you come back. They are not sent to us. Clearing your browser data, or pressing “Start over”, deletes them.

Notes you send us

Every page has a “Tell us” link. If you send a note, we receive the text you wrote and the page you were on, and nothing else. We don’t ask for your name or email, so please leave personal details out. That also means we can’t reply. Notes are kept in a private workspace on GitHub, where we track fixes. To stop spam, our host briefly checks how many notes arrive from the same connection; nothing about it is kept.

What reaches the server

Like every website, the company that hosts Outro, Cloudflare, receives your IP address and browser type in order to send you the page and keep the site secure. We don’t use this to identify or follow anyone. Fonts and everything else the site needs are served from our own domain, so no company other than our host is told that you visited.

Cookies and analytics

Outro sets no cookies and uses no advertising tools. That is why you don’t see a cookie banner.

To know how many people use Outro and which pages help, we count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, run by the same company that hosts the site. A small script reports each page view: the page, the site you came from, your browser type, your country and how fast the page loaded. Cloudflare says it uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device and does not use your IP address or fingerprinting to recognise you. We only see totals, never individual visitors. It is switched off for visitors in the European Union.

If you block it with a content blocker, the site works exactly the same.

Links to other sites

Links to official and source pages take you to those sites, which have their own privacy policies.

Children

Outro is written for adults who are moving home. It is not meant for children.

Questions or requests

We hold nothing that is linked to you, so there is nothing for us to look up, correct or delete. If you have a question, send us a note.
