Privacy Policy

ChinaTransit is designed as a static planning site. We avoid account systems and collect as little personal data as possible.

What we collect

ChinaTransit is a static Astro site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. We do not run user accounts, a backend application, or a database for traveler profiles.

We do not intentionally collect passport numbers, visa numbers, national ID numbers, medical details, precise travel history, or other sensitive document data.

  • No account registration.
  • No uploaded documents for the checker, boarding kit, or arrival-card tools.
  • No sale of personal data.

Browser-local tools

The eligibility checker, Boarding Kit, and arrival-card preparation tools run in your browser. Inputs are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded to ChinaTransit.

Tool state may be stored in URL query parameters or localStorage so that you can reload, print, or continue a checklist. That state stays on your device unless you choose to share the URL or export information yourself.

Hosting logs and analytics

Cloudflare and other hosting infrastructure may keep standard server logs such as IP address, request URL, browser type, referrer, timestamp, and rough location. These logs are used for security, reliability, and abuse prevention.

ChinaTransit uses GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics tool. It counts page visits without cookies and without building advertising or cross-site tracking profiles. It does not store personal data, does not use tracking cookies, and does not require traveler accounts. Aggregated, anonymous data such as page paths, referrers, rough country, browser, and screen size may be recorded to understand which guides are useful.

Third-party and affiliate links

Some outbound links may go to eSIM, VPN, insurance, hotel, payment, booking, map, or transport providers. Those services are separate companies with their own privacy policies.

Affiliate or sponsored partners may set cookies or receive standard referral information when you click through to their sites. Their practices are not controlled by ChinaTransit.

Children and sensitive requests

This site is built for travel planning and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal data.

Please do not send sensitive documents through contact channels. For corrections, a source link and a short explanation are usually enough.

Your choices and data requests

You can clear localStorage in your browser to remove local tool state. You can also avoid sharing URLs that include your itinerary choices.

For privacy questions or deletion requests relating to communications you sent us, use the contact page. Because the site has no accounts or traveler database, many requests will involve confirming whether we have any message from you at all.

Changes and effective date

We may update this policy when the site, hosting, analytics, or partner relationships change. Material changes should be reflected on this page.

Effective date: 2026-06-09.
