Privacy Policy

Japa Calculator is built for Nigerians making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. We believe your data should be treated with the same seriousness. This policy explains exactly what we collect, what we don’t, and how we use the information that passes through our systems. Japa Calculator is operated by Swancross Limited (RC 9876402), a company registered in Nigeria, which is responsible for the data described in this policy.

What Data We Collect

Calculator inputs

When you use the Japa Calculator, you enter your profession, salary range, destination country, and family status. These inputs are processed to generate your scores and AI analysis. They are never stored with personally identifiable information — they are saved only as anonymous aggregates to power Japa Pulse trends.

Email address

We collect your email address only when you give it to us: to receive your calculator report, to sign up for Japa Pulse updates, to register interest in a Japa Plan, or when you buy one. If you ask for your report or sign up for updates, we also send you japa cost updates, currently twice a week. Every update has an unsubscribe link.

Basic usage data

Netlify, our hosting provider, collects standard server logs as part of hosting. This includes your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. Analytics and advertising measurement run only as described under Cookies and measurement below.

What We Don’t Collect

• No personal financial data is stored.Your salary input is used for calculation only and saved as an anonymous aggregate — it cannot be traced back to you.

Cookies and Measurement

On your first visit we ask whether you accept cookies. None of the cookies below is set until you choose, and you can change your choice at any time with Cookie settingsat the bottom of every page. Your choice is kept in your browser so we don’t ask again.

• Google Analytics 4 measures page views, traffic sources and engagement. If you decline, it runs without cookies. See Google's privacy policy.
• Microsoft Clarity shows how visitors use our pages (heatmaps, scroll depth and session replays). It loads only if you accept, and it uses first- and third-party cookies. See Microsoft's privacy disclosure.
• Meta Pixel measures our ads on Facebook and Instagram. It loads only if you accept. Meta receives the pages you visit and the moments you finish a calculation, ask for your report or start a checkout. We do not send Meta your email address, your income or your other calculator answers. See Meta's privacy policy.

We also keep in your browser where your first visit came from (the website or ad that sent you), so each visit is credited to the right source.

How We Use Your Data
