Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-09

What we collect

• Anonymous usage events (input mode, input size buckets, event counts, processing time, dwell-time buckets) — only if you accept the consent banner.
• Feedback events (confirm / correction / missed-issue flags) carrying rule identifiers and normalized terms — never your raw page content.
• The full URL you submit is never sent to our telemetry. Telemetry carries only a salted hash of it, and the host is graded by publicness: public large sites report the domain, personal or small sites report only the top-level domain (com/org/net/cn/other), and private or intranet addresses are never reported — only the label "local".
• Pasted HTML or plain text is submitted to run the audit and is never copied into telemetry.

Server-side fetching

In URL mode, your submitted URL is fetched by our server to perform the audit. Page content is processed in memory only: it is never stored, never used for training, and never shared with third parties.

How we use the data

• Product improvement (which input modes are used, which gap types are most common, report copy rate).
• De-identified, aggregated industry insights.
• Audit-rule calibration from anonymized confirm/correction samples.

Retention

• Local audit history lives in your browser's localStorage: at most 20 entries, kept no longer than 90 days, and never uploaded (sync is not enabled).
• Server-side alignment samples are de-identified before retention.

Your choices and withdrawal

• Declining the consent banner keeps the audit tool fully functional; only anonymous event collection stops.
• You can withdraw anytime by clearing local data below — the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
