Privacy Policy

VisaScout operates as an open comparison engine. We collect only the minimum necessary data required to deliver fast, accurate, and unbiased visa provider comparisons:

• Anonymous Route Queries: Origin passport, destination, and visit purpose selections executed in the search interface. These queries run in-browser and are not tied to personal identities.
• High-Level Telemetry: Aggregated visit counters and corridor dwell times used solely to detect unindexed routes and refine provider fee estimates.
• Voluntary Traveler Correspondence: Any inquiries, provider fee correction feedback, or consulate updates you submit to our editorial desk.

All visa processing timelines, government consular fees, service charges, and document matrices indexed on VisaScout are researched from public consulate schedules, embassy portals, and verified third-party agency terms. We do not ingest or index private applicant records.

Our researchers regularly audit provider service fees against live application flows. No automated data is published without verification against official government policy.

VisaScout offers interactive tools including Provider Comparison Tables, Processing Timeline Filters, and Interactive Fee Scatters:

• Client-Side Memory: Active route selections and filter states stay in your browser session or URL query parameters. They are never transmitted to external surveillance databases or marketing brokers.
• No Account Required: You can compare, sort, and review visa services across 199 passports without creating an account or uploading documents.

VisaScout does not use invasive third-party cross-site advertising cookies. We utilize browser storage exclusively for:

• Saved Preferences: Remembering your chosen origin passport and search filters across visits.
• Consent Preferences: Remembering your cookie and banner selections.

When you select a visa provider (such as Atlys, VFS Global, BLS, or iVisa) and click through to continue your application, you leave VisaScout. The privacy policy and terms of that third-party provider govern your application, data collection, and payments.

In compliance with global data protection frameworks including the GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California), you have the right to request clarification on any data interactions, request deletion of inquiry records, or clear your local browser storage at any time.
