Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
RideCostCalc.com ("RideCostCalc," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This page explains what data is collected when you use this site and how it is used.
Information We Collect
The fare calculator runs entirely in your browser. Pickup/drop-off entries and computed fares are not transmitted to or stored on RideCostCalc's own servers. When you use the interactive map or address search, your browser sends queries directly to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim (geocoding) and the OSRM routing service (driving distance) — independent, third-party services with their own privacy practices.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
This site and its advertising/analytics partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to remember preferences like your light/dark theme choice, to measure site usage, and to serve relevant advertising.
Google AdSense & Analytics
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertising and Google Analytics to understand visitor traffic, both of which may use cookies and anonymous identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites and to collect aggregated, anonymised usage statistics. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings or the industry opt-out tool at aboutads.info/choices. Details on how Google uses information from sites that use its services are available at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Third-Party Links
Booking buttons and links to services such as Uber, Ola, Rapido, InDrive, Grab, Bolt, Careem, FlightRadar24, and FlightAware take you to independent third-party websites or apps. RideCostCalc does not control, and is not responsible for, their content or data practices — please review each service's own privacy policy.
Your Choices & Children's Privacy
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly. RideCostCalc is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. We may revise this policy from time to time; check back for the latest version.
