Privacy policy

What we collect: basically nothing

TrueCostMotors is a static website. We don't have user accounts, we don't ask for your name or address, and we don't build profiles about you. The calculator runs entirely in your browser — the numbers you type in never leave your device and are never sent to our servers.

Cookies

We don't set cookies ourselves. If we join an ad network or affiliate program in the future, those third parties may set their own cookies to measure clicks and show ads; we'll update this policy if that happens. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Contact information

If you email us at [email protected] or use the contact form, we receive whatever you send — your email address and message. We use it only to reply to you, and we don't sell it, share it, or add it to a marketing list without your permission.

Affiliate disclosure

We may earn a commission if you click links on this site and make a purchase. This includes affiliate links to car listings, parts, insurance quotes, or other products we mention. These commissions cost you nothing extra and help keep the calculator free. Our cost figures and car breakdowns are researched independently — affiliate relationships don't change the numbers.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll post the new version here with a new "last updated" date. Questions? Email [email protected].
