Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

CUScore (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates cuscore.org (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly: The Site does not require registration or account creation. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or financial account information through the Site in the ordinary course of use.

Information collected automatically: When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party analytics services may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

  • IP address and approximate geographic location (country, state, city)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL and exit pages
  • Pages viewed, time on page, and navigation path
  • Date and time of visit
  • Device type and screen resolution

Cookies and local storage: The Site may use cookies, browser local storage, and similar technologies to support functionality such as remembering credit unions you have added to a comparison session. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or for targeted advertising.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Operate and improve the Site, including monitoring performance and diagnosing technical issues.
  • Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve our content and user experience.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for targeted advertising. We do not build advertising profiles from your behavior on this Site.

3. Analytics Services

We use Vercel Analytics to collect aggregate, privacy-friendly website traffic data. Vercel Analytics is designed to collect minimal data and does not use cookies for analytics purposes. For more information, see Vercel's Privacy Policy.

We may also use other privacy-focused analytics tools. In all cases, we do not enable user-level tracking, cross-site tracking, or behavioral advertising features.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We use third-party vendors (such as web hosting, CDN, and analytics providers) who process data on our behalf under contractual obligations consistent with this policy.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights and safety of our users, ourselves, or others.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain server logs and analytics data for up to 12 months, after which it is deleted or anonymized. We do not retain personal information beyond the period necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. The Site is served over HTTPS. However, no internet transmission or storage system is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to or stored on the Site.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. California Residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with certain rights regarding your personal information. Because CUScore does not sell personal information and collects only minimal data as described above, most CCPA provisions do not apply in a substantive way to our Site.

To the extent the CCPA applies, you have the right to: (a) know what personal information we collect; (b) request deletion of your personal information; and (c) opt out of the sale of your personal information (which we do not engage in). To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy 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 any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
