Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Audityxe ("we", "us", "our") collects when you use the site-audit tool at this domain, and how that information is used, stored, and protected.

1. Information we collect

Running an audit requires a free account. We collect:

• Your email address and authentication identifier, via Firebase Authentication (email/password, Google, or GitHub sign-in).
• Your display name, if you set one.
• Your plan tier and daily usage count, so we can enforce fair per-account rate limits.
• The URL you enter, and any competitor URL you optionally provide, for that request.
• The publicly available HTML and HTTP response of the pages you submit, fetched at request time.
• Standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and request timestamps, collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure for security and abuse prevention.

2. What we deliberately don't store

Full audit results — scores, findings, fixes — are computed fresh for each request and returned directly to your browser. We do not save a copy of your full audit results on our servers, and there is no public report page or cross-account history feature. Once the response reaches your browser, keeping a copy (via the copy/export/share/email buttons on the results page) is entirely up to you.

One narrow, deliberate exception: to power the embeddable badge at /badge, we keep a per-domain record of the site's most recent overall score and the date it was audited — nothing else (no categories, fixes, HTML, or requester identity) is stored alongside it, and it isn't tied to any account.

3. How we use information

• To fetch and analyze the submitted page and generate an audit report.
• To verify your identity and enforce per-account daily usage limits.
• To generate the written verdict and promotional copy accompanying your results.
• To maintain the security, stability, and abuse resistance of the service.

4. Third-party processing

A few requests made on your behalf go to third-party services, solely to produce your audit: a text-generation service writes the verdict and promo copy from your computed scores; Google's PageSpeed Insights service renders your submitted page in a real browser to measure performance and accessibility; and Pollinations.ai generates the banner's background art. None of these receive your account email, password, or any personal identifying information — only the URL being audited and its derived scores.

5. Data retention

Your account record (email, plan, usage counters) persists in our database (Firebase/ Firestore) for as long as your account exists, and is deleted if you delete your account from Settings. Full audit results are not persisted at all — see Section 2, which also covers the one exception (the badge score/date record). Server logs used for security/ abuse prevention are periodically purged.

5a. Abuse prevention & device identifiers

To protect the service from fraud, automated abuse and free-plan circumvention, Audityxe creates a random device identifier (stored in a first-party cookie, local storage and IndexedDB) and computes a one-way hash of certain browser and hardware characteristics (for example screen size, time zone, language, graphics and audio rendering behavior). We also process your IP address, which is stored only as a salted one-way hash (plus a partially masked form shown to administrators). These are used solely to rate-limit requests, tie free-plan quotas to a device, detect multiple-account abuse, and apply or lift temporary restrictions. They are never sold or used for advertising or cross-site tracking, and short-lived records are deleted automatically (typically within 30 days).

6. Cookies

Audityxe does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Any strictly necessary cookies/local storage are limited to what's required for sign-in to function. See our Cookie Policy for details.

7. Your rights

You can export a copy of your account data or permanently delete your account (which removes your account record and usage data) at any time from Settings. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights to access, correct, or delete personal data — contact us if you need help beyond what Settings covers.

8. Children's privacy

Audityxe is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
