Privacy

The Cost Of collects as little as possible.

Anonymous use

Reading scenarios requires no account. We record anonymous events — which scenario was viewed, whether the reveal completed, whether the drawer opened, and whether the share button was tapped — through PostHog. We do not associate these events with a name or email.

Email signups

If you give us your email through the personalization sign-up, we store the email address, the scenario you were on, and the timestamp. We use this only to notify you when personalization is live. We do not sell, share, or trade this list. We do not send a newsletter.

Deletion

Write to editor@thecostof.fyi and we’ll remove your email from our records.

Browser storage

PostHog may use cookies or local storage to keep anonymous analytics working across pages. Session replay, heatmaps, web-vitals autocapture, and broad interaction autocapture are not part of the Phase A measurement setup.

Error monitoring

We use Sentry to monitor errors. Sentry receives technical error data only — no email addresses or personal information.
