Privacy Policy
Effective 2026-07-07. Written in plain language on purpose — if anything here is unclear or looks wrong, please tell us.
What we collect
- Anonymous usage analytics. We use PostHog, served through our own domain, to count page views and page exits. We do not record your keystrokes, clicks on page content, or session recordings. Analytics runs only on pointsbrain.com.
- Your email, if you join the waitlist. It is stored in our analytics backend and sends the operator a notification. We also record where the signup came from (referring page and campaign parameters, when present) so we know what is working. We use the address only to write to you about PointsBrain. No spam, no selling or renting your address.
- Crawler visits. When a known search-engine or AI-assistant crawler fetches a page, we log which crawler and which page, server-side. This involves no personal data.
What we deliberately do not collect
- Calculator inputs. The cards you pick, your spend figures, and your answer to the balance question are computed in your browser and never sent to our servers.
- No advertising trackers, no third-party ad networks.
- No bank links, no card numbers, no financial accounts.
Cookies and storage
Analytics uses browser storage (localStorage and a cookie) to tell returning visitors from new ones. Blocking it does not break the site.
Who we share data with
Service providers only, to run the site: PostHog (analytics and waitlist storage), Vercel (hosting), and Resend (the operator notification email when you sign up). We never sell personal data.
Removal and questions
Want your waitlist email deleted, or have a privacy question? Open an issue at our public tracker (you can keep your email out of the issue text and we'll arrange a private channel), and we'll handle it promptly. A dedicated contact mailbox is coming with our own email domain.
Changes
If our collection practices change, this page is updated in the same release — the effective date above always reflects the current text.
