Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Life Indexed ("we", "us", "our") operates the website lifeindexed.com — a free data platform publishing worldwide information on salaries, cost of living, property prices, tax rates, healthcare and baby names. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any personal data we hold responsibly.

2. What data we collect

Life Indexed is designed to be used without creating an account or providing personal information. We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the site:

• Server logs — IP addresses, browser type, pages visited and timestamps. These are stored for up to 30 days for security and performance purposes, then deleted.
• Analytics — We use privacy-respecting analytics (no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting) to understand which pages and data topics are most useful. No personally identifiable information is collected or stored.
• Contact form submissions — If you contact us via our contact page, we collect your name and email address to respond to your enquiry. This data is not shared with third parties and is deleted once the enquiry is resolved.

We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising. We do not sell, rent or trade any data about our visitors.

3. Advertising

Life Indexed may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or similar services. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google's Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.

4. Third-party links

Our data source pages link to external websites such as Eurostat, the World Bank, WHO and OECD. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites and encourage you to review their individual privacy policies.

5. Data security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect the limited data we hold. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all connections. Access to any contact form data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

6. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA or other privacy regulations, including the right to access, correct or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal data and do not require accounts, most users will have no personal data on our systems.

To exercise any rights or ask about your data, please contact us.

7. Children's privacy

Life Indexed is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
