Privacy Policy

1. Information We Process

We process the information you submit to run tools, including URLs, paths, robots rules, structured data, and other text you provide for analysis.

In the Chrome extension, analysis runs only after you open the extension and request a check. The extension reads the active tab to inspect page-level SEO signals.

We also process technical request data used for operations and service protection, including IP-derived request context and user-agent strings.

2. Local Browser Storage

PageChecks uses local browser storage to keep parts of the product usable and consistent.

We do not use PageChecks application code or our web analytics script to set marketing cookies at this time.

• The website uses localStorage to remember theme preference.
• The extension uses chrome.storage.local to remember theme preference and keep a small rolling cache of recent quick-check results.

3. Shared Audit Data

If you choose to share an SEO audit, we store and publish a shared record that may be publicly accessible and indexed by search engines.

If you need a shared audit removed, use the contact address listed below.

4. How We Use Data

• Run and return the analyses you request.
• Protect the service through abuse prevention, rate limiting, and operational monitoring.
• Operate, improve, and debug performance, reliability, and product quality.
• Understand aggregated website usage patterns.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party providers for hosting, privacy-focused web analytics, storage, operational monitoring, and other supporting infrastructure.

Our web analytics provider helps us understand aggregate page views and product usage without giving us information that directly identifies you.

When a feature requires an external lookup, submitted URLs and related request data may be sent to those providers to complete the analysis you requested.

6. Retention

• Website localStorage values remain until you clear browser storage or overwrite them.
• Extension quick-check snapshots are capped to a limited rolling set of recent analyzed page paths.
• Short-lived rate-limit and cache entries expire automatically.
• Shared audit records remain until replaced or removed.

7. International Access

PageChecks is available globally, and data may be processed in multiple jurisdictions depending on our hosting and service providers. By using the service, you understand that cross-border processing may occur where permitted by law.

8. Your Choices

• You can stop using the service at any time.
• You can clear website localStorage values in your browser settings.
• You can clear extension storage by removing the extension or resetting extension data in Chrome.
• You can request removal of a shared audit through the contact address listed below.

9. Security

We apply technical safeguards intended to reduce unauthorized access and abuse, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be fully secure.

10. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates are effective when posted on this page with a revised last-updated date.
