Privacy Policy

Last updated on November 4th, 2026

The short version

You can use Was I better off? without an account. We do not sell your information, and there are no ads.

What you pick

The dates and categories you pick are kept in the address of the page, so a link can reopen them. We do not tie them to you.

Suggestions

If you send us an idea, we keep what you wrote, your email if you gave one, and your IP address, which helps us stop spam. We use your email only to reply about your idea.

Visit counts and errors

We use Fathom Analytics to count visits, and it does not use cookies to track you. Our servers keep ordinary logs, and error reports go to Honeybadger so we can fix problems.

Questions

Use "Suggest something" on the main page and leave your email.
