Privacy Policy

The website processes the domains submitted to its checker and may retain a one-way IP hash, domain, response status, and summary results for diagnostics and abuse prevention. Optional analytics or advertising operate only when configured.

Last updated: July 15, 2026

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the website handles information when you browse the public site, use the robots.txt generator or checker, or contact the site operator. The operator should update this notice when the production domain, contact details, hosting, analytics, advertising, or retention practices change.

Information processed by the checker

When you submit a domain, the service normalises the host and requests its public /robots.txt file. The checker processes the returned status, rules, sitemaps, and analysis needed to display the result. A technical log may store the submitted domain, the HTTP status code, a summary of the analysis, and a one-way hash derived from the requesting IP address and the application key.

The hash is used to support diagnostics and abuse prevention without intentionally storing the raw IP address in the checker log. Domain names and summary results can still be operational data and may relate to a person in some circumstances.

Generator input

The generator processes the website URL, crawler choices, paths, sitemap setting, and other options you submit in order to produce robots.txt text. Do not enter passwords, API keys, private URLs, personal data, or confidential configuration into public tools.

Server logs and security data

The hosting platform and web server may process standard request information such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer, browser or User-Agent string, response status, and security events. This data is used for delivery, troubleshooting, availability, fraud prevention, and protection of the service.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

The site may use essential cookies required for sessions, security, or administrator authentication. Analytics and advertising integrations are optional configuration features. When enabled, third-party providers may process device, cookie, request, and interaction data according to their own terms and privacy notices. The Cookie Policy should describe the active categories and available choices.

Contact messages

If you contact the operator, the message may include your email address, name, message content, attachments, and technical context you choose to provide. This information is used to review and respond to the request, maintain records, prevent abuse, and protect legal rights.

Retention and deletion

Checker logs remain in the application database until they are manually purged or otherwise removed by the operator. The administration interface supports deletion of records older than a selected number of days, but this public policy does not promise a fixed automatic retention period. Contact records, security logs, and hosting backups may be retained for different periods according to operational need and applicable requirements.

Sharing and service providers

Information may be processed by hosting, infrastructure, security, email, analytics, advertising, or other service providers used to operate the site. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, protect rights or security, investigate misuse, or complete a legitimate transfer of the service.

Your choices and rights

You can avoid submitting a domain to the checker and can limit optional cookies where a consent control is available. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a copy of certain personal data, and to complain to an appropriate supervisory authority. Use the Contact page to make a request. The operator may need enough information to verify the request and locate the relevant records.

Children and changes

The service is intended as a technical resource and is not directed specifically to children. This policy may be updated when the service, production domain, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top identifies the current published version.

Live privacy controls

The site provides a permanent privacy center in the footer. Optional analytics and advertising are denied by default, can be accepted or rejected separately, and can be withdrawn later without losing access to public content.

The site also honors Global Privacy Control for advertising-related sale, sharing, and cross-context behavioral advertising. The preference cookie stores the policy version, selected categories, and time of the choice; it does not contain a name, email address, or advertising identifier.

FAQ

What does the robots.txt checker store?

It may store the submitted domain, response status, a summary of the analysis, and a one-way hash derived from the requester’s IP address and the application key.

Does the checker publish the robots.txt content it fetches?

The fetched file is processed to display the requested analysis. The application’s checker log stores summary data rather than publishing the full third-party file as site content.

Are analytics and advertising always active?

No. They are optional configuration features. When enabled, the policy and Cookie Policy should identify the active providers and relevant choices.

How long are checker logs retained?

The current application allows the operator to purge older records manually but does not enforce a fixed automatic public retention period.

How can I make a privacy request?

Use the active contact method published by the site operator, identify the request, and provide only the information reasonably necessary to locate and verify the relevant record.
