Privacy Policy

City Cost of Living ("we", "us") operates citycostofliving.com and helps digital nomads compare the real cost of living, internet speeds, climate and visa freedom across cities worldwide. You can reach us at contact@citycostofliving.com.

We do not require an account and we do not collect names, email addresses or payment details. We may collect limited, non-personal data automatically:

• Usage analytics — via Google Analytics (page views, device type, approximate location at country/region level, referral source).
• Search data — via Google Search Console, which lets us see which search queries led visitors to the site, without revealing who searched them.
• Cookies and local storage — used by analytics and to remember temporary selections you make on the site (e.g. a city picked in a calculator).

• To measure and improve the site's performance and content.
• To understand which tools and cities visitors find most useful.
• To diagnose technical issues and protect against abuse.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We do not build advertising profiles about you.

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. Google Analytics uses cookies and may share data with other Google services in accordance with Google's privacy policy. You can learn more and control your settings at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics cookies in your browser settings or via Google's ad settings.

Our cost-of-living figures are aggregated from public sources including Numbeo, World Bank, Ookla, Open-Meteo and the US State Department, refreshed periodically by our data pipeline. We do not include data that could identify individual contributors.

Our pages link to external services (such as travel.state.gov). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

Depending on your location you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we collect almost nothing personal, exercising these rights usually means clearing your cookies. For anything else, email contact@citycostofliving.com.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
