Privacy
Short version: private by default. No accounts, no cookies, no ad trackers, results are never published, and we don't sell data. Here is exactly what the site keeps.
When You Check a Page
- We fetch that page (and its robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt) like a crawler would, reading the raw HTML. If a site refuses that normal fetch, the free check may load the page once in a headless browser (Cloudflare Browser Rendering) just to read it: no screenshots, and nothing kept beyond the short cache below. The paid full report also opens the homepage in a headless browser to see the JavaScript-rendered version.
- Results are cached for about 30 minutes so repeat checks are fast, then deleted.
- We don't keep a list of checked URLs or scores, and results are never published.
- Pages you check are public websites. Please don't check private or sensitive URLs.
Badges and Sharing
After a free check you can tap Share Your Score. That makes a link, with a preview image, showing only the site’s name and its scores, and only if you choose to share it. The site and scores are written into the link itself; we don’t save them anywhere.
Embeddable score badges are off by default: badge links show a neutral “check yours” image for every page. If you buy the full report, you can turn on “Make my badge public” for your domain (homepage score only). It stays off unless you choose it, and you can turn it off again any time.
Payments
- Checkout is handled by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details and email address under Stripe’s privacy policy. We never see or store card numbers.
- We keep a minimal purchase record: Stripe’s session, customer and subscription ids, the plan, its status, and the one domain you bought the report for. No names or emails are stored on our side.
- We use the email address Stripe collects once, to send your receipt and report link through our email provider Resend. We don’t store it.
- Your full report is cached for 30 days under a private, unguessable link (the checkout session id), then deleted. It is never indexed or linked publicly; anyone you give the link to can open it.
Visitor Statistics
- We count page views per page, referring website (domain only), number of checks, a few button clicks, and visits from known crawlers by user-agent name (like GPTBot or Googlebot).
- These are anonymous daily totals. We don't store IP addresses, don't set cookies, and don't build profiles. IP addresses are used briefly for rate limiting (in memory, or as a one-way hash kept up to a day for the privacy-controls form) and then dropped.
Privacy Controls for Site Owners
Site owners can use privacy controls to opt their domain out after proving they control it. Opted-out domains are never cached, never get a public badge, and can’t be shared with Share Your Score. We keep only the domain name and the date of the opt-out.
Hosting
The site runs on Cloudflare (Workers, Durable Objects, Browser Rendering). Cloudflare processes requests to deliver the site; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Selling or Sharing
We don't sell or rent any data, and we don't share it with advertisers.
