SchengenTrack | Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 25, 2026
At SchengenTrack, we believe your travel history is personal and should remain yours. Our privacy philosophy is simple: We do not want your data. Our platform is built on a "Privacy-by-Design" architecture, ensuring that your sensitive travel information never touches our servers.
1. Zero Server-Side Data Collection
We do not collect, store, or see the travel dates, countries, or stay durations you input into our tool.
No Accounts: You are not required to create an account or provide an email address to use the calculator.
No Personal Identifiers: We do not ask for names, passport numbers, or any other personally identifiable information (PII).
2. Local-First Processing
All calculations for the 90/180-day rule, including "Earliest Possible Entry" and "Full Reset" dates, are performed locally within your own web browser using JavaScript.
Your data stays on your device at all times during the calculation process.
3. Data Storage (Browser Local Storage)
To provide a seamless experience, SchengenTrack uses your browser’s Local Storage to remember the dates you’ve entered.
This allows you to close the tab and return later without losing your progress.
You can permanently delete this data at any time by clearing your browser cache or using the "Reset" function within the app.
4. Secure Data Syncing (QR & URL Encoding)
Our sync feature allows you to transfer your data between devices (e.g., from PC to mobile) without a database.
How it works: Your input dates are encoded into a unique, encrypted-like string within the URL.
The QR Code: The QR code generated on our site is simply a visual representation of this URL.
We do not log or store these sync URLs on our servers.
5. Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand site traffic and improve performance.
Google Analytics may collect usage data such as page views, browser/device information, approximate location, and interactions on our pages.
This analytics setup does not include the travel dates and stay records you enter into the calculator; those remain processed locally in your browser.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits and session activity. We do not use this analytics setup to track your activity across unrelated websites for advertising purposes.
6. Contact Form Processing and Spam Protection
When you submit a message through our contact form, the form data is processed by Formspree, a third-party form handling service, so your message can be delivered to us.
The contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA may collect information such as device/browser data and interaction signals as part of its verification process.
Please do not include passport numbers or other sensitive personal information in contact form messages.
7. PDF Report Generation
When you generate a PDF report, the document is created entirely within your browser.
The information shown on the report is never uploaded to our servers or stored in any cloud storage.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
