Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. What data we collect

Card Scout is a free, no-sign-up tool. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily submit it via our contact form.

We may collect anonymized usage data (pages visited, interactions with tools) through standard analytics software (e.g. Vercel Analytics) to understand how the product is used. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

Wizard answers and tool preferences are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never transmitted to our servers.

2. How we use it

Anonymized analytics data is used to:

  • Identify which tools and pages are most useful.
  • Fix bugs and improve the product experience.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Cookies

Card Scout may use minimal cookies or browser storage for functional purposes (e.g. remembering your dark/light mode preference). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

You can clear cookies and localStorage at any time via your browser settings.

4. Third-party links

This site contains links to external credit card application pages operated by financial institutions. These links may be affiliate links, meaning Card Scout may receive a commission if you apply for a card. These links are clearly labeled where applicable.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. Please review their privacy policies before submitting any personal or financial information.
