We built this tool with privacy as a core principle — not an afterthought.
Scope Creep Cost Calculator is a 100% client-side web application. This means all calculations, data entry, and report generation happen entirely in your browser — nothing is ever sent to a server, database, or third party.
We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:
The app may use your browser's localStorage to remember your last-entered values between sessions so you don't have to retype them. This data lives exclusively on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.
You can clear this data at any time by clicking the Reset button in the app, or by clearing your browser's site data in your browser settings.
The only external resource loaded by this application is Google Fonts, used to render the typefaces (Syne, JetBrains Mono, Figtree). When your browser downloads these fonts, Google's servers will receive your IP address as part of a standard HTTP request.
We have no control over Google's data practices. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for information on how font requests are handled.
No advertising networks, analytics platforms, or tracking pixels are loaded by this application.
If you install the app as a Progressive Web App (PWA) via the install banner, the application files are cached locally on your device using the browser's Service Worker API. This enables offline use and faster load times.
This caching mechanism stores only application code and assets — not your input data — and operates entirely on your device.
If we ever materially change how this application handles data (for example, by adding server-side features), we will update this page with a new date and provide clear notice within the app.
Given our commitment to a client-side-only architecture, we do not anticipate changes that would affect your privacy.
