Privacy Policy

Overview

CostInflation is a website dedicated to tracking changes in prices over time. We collect, normalize, and present public price-index information on a best-effort basis.

Information We Collect

The current website does not provide accounts, comments, checkout, embedded newsletter forms, or a contact form. If you email us or ask to receive a monthly Burger Index report, we receive the information you choose to include in that email.

Our hosting, security, and content-delivery providers may automatically process basic request information such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, timestamps, and similar server-log data.

Analytics, Advertising, And Cookies

We may use measurement and advertising technology to understand site readership, improve the website, support approved advertising placements if they are re-enabled, prevent fraud, manage eligible privacy choices, and measure ad performance.

These services may process information such as device and browser details, pages viewed, interactions with the site, approximate location, referrer information, ad interactions, consent choices, and cookie or similar identifier data where permitted.

We may also measure interactions with source-following links, such as clicks to add CostInflation as a preferred source in Google.

Some analytics and advertising features may use cookies or similar technologies. Where consent is required, those features are not loaded until consent is given.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate and secure the website, publish price-index pages, understand site performance, measure readership, support any approved advertising placements, respond to messages, send requested report updates, and prevent abuse.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers that help host, secure, deliver, measure, monetize, or manage eligible privacy choices for the website. Those providers process information according to their own terms and our instructions where applicable.

Your Choices

You can control cookies and site storage through your browser. Where a consent message is shown, use that message or the Cookie choices control in the footer to make or update eligible privacy choices. You can ask us to stop sending requested email updates by replying to our message. You can also contact us about privacy questions at contact@costinflation.com.

Children

CostInflation is not directed to children.

We may update this policy as the website, data products, analytics, advertising, or legal requirements change. The updated date above shows when this page was last changed.
