Information We Collect

At NationRules.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to safeguarding any personal data you share with us. We collect information in the following ways:

  • Log Files: Like most standard web servers, we collect internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamps, and number of clicks to analyze trends and administer the site. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
  • User-Provided Information: If you use our contact forms or submit inquiries, we collect your name and email address. We do not require registration to use our tools.
  • Interactive Tools (Client-Side Only): Data you input into our tools (such as FBAR account balances, tax figures, or visa status selections) is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This data is not transmitted to, stored on, or logged by our servers. Your financial inputs remain private on your device.
  • LocalStorage: Some interactive tools (such as the Expat Moving Checklist) use your browser's localStorage to remember your progress between sessions. This data is stored only on your device and is never sent to our servers.
