The boring legal stuff

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

The short version

Stay Boringis an educational website. You can use everything on it — including the calculator — without creating an account, without giving an email address, and without being tracked. We collect as little data as possible, because that's the boring way.

What we collect

Nothing you type. Everything you enter into the calculators is processed in your own browser. Your numbers are never sent to us, stored, or seen by anyone.

No tracking cookies.This site does not use advertising or analytics cookies. That's also why you don't see a cookie banner — there's nothing to consent to.

Standard server logs. Our hosting provider (Vercel Inc.) automatically processes technical data such as IP addresses in server logs, as virtually every website host does, for security and delivery of the site. This processing is based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and the data is not used to identify or profile you.

The newsletter (when it launches)

If you choose to subscribe to The Boring Letter, we will store your email address for the sole purpose of sending you the newsletter, based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You will confirm your subscription via a confirmation email (double opt-in), every issue will contain an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes you from the list. The list will be managed by an established email service provider acting as data processor; we will name the provider here when the newsletter goes live. Your email is never sold or shared beyond that.

External links

This site links to YouTube and other external services. Once you leave this site, their privacy policies apply, not ours.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, and export any personal data we hold about you, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Sweden: Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY). Since we hold almost nothing, most requests will be very short conversations — but you're always welcome to make them.
