Privacy Policy

Overview

osscostcalc.com (“we”, “us”) provides a free, informational tool for comparing the cost of self-hosting open-source software on third-party cloud providers. This policy explains what limited data is collected when you use the site.

Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect names, email addresses, or payment information through the site. Selections you make in the calculator are processed in your browser and are not stored on our servers. Like most websites, our hosting provider may log standard technical request data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security and operational purposes.

Cookies and advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

Affiliate links

Some outbound “Deploy Now” links are referral/affiliate links. If you sign up with a provider through one of these links, we may earn a referral credit at no extra cost to you. This never affects the pricing data or recommendations shown on the site.

Third-party links

The site links to external cloud providers and project websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites; please review their policies separately.

Children's privacy

The site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
