This Privacy Policy describes how the operator of WebFixer.dev (“we”, “us”, “our”) processes personal data when you visit the website or use our free SEO audit, DNS lookup, and related services (the “Services”). For cookies specifically, see our Cookie Policy.

Who we are

WebFixer.dev provides free website diagnostic tools. The data controller for personal data described here is the operator of WebFixer.dev. Contact details are available on our contact page.

Data we collect

Information you provide

• Tool inputs - URLs, domains, or hostnames you submit for audits or DNS lookups;
• Contact messages - name, email, and message content if you use our contact form;
• Feedback - any information you choose to send us.

Information collected automatically

• Usage and device data - pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location (derived from IP), browser type, and similar technical data via Google Analytics and, where ads are shown, Google advertising services (such as AdSense);
• Server logs - IP address, request time, user agent, and error logs for security and reliability;
• Cookies - as described in the Cookie Policy.

Data we do not intentionally collect

We do not require an account to use core free tools. We do not ask for payment card details on the free audit flow. Do not submit passwords, API secrets, or personal data belonging to third parties into our tools.

How we use data

We use personal data to:

• Provide and improve the Services (run audits, return DNS answers, fix bugs);
• Protect the Services and users (abuse detection, rate limiting, fraud prevention);
• Understand aggregate usage via Google Analytics;
• Display and measure advertising on the Site, including personalised ads where you consent or where permitted by law;
• Monitor our own site’s search presence via Google Search Console (aggregated query and indexing reports for webfixer.dev as a property we manage);
• Respond to contact requests and comply with legal obligations.

Legal bases (UK/EU): performance of a service you request; legitimate interests (security, analytics, improvement) where balanced against your rights; consent where required (for example, non-essential cookies); legal obligation where applicable.

URLs and audit content

When you submit a URL, our systems fetch publicly available page content to generate a report. That content may include text, metadata, and structured data from the target page. We process this to deliver the audit to you. Optional llms.txt scanning uses the same secure fetch path with strict limits described on the llms.txt generator page. Browser-only tools such as the Robots.txt Generator and XML Sitemap Generator do not send your draft content to our servers. We may retain URLs and derived technical results for a limited period for caching, abuse prevention, and service quality, unless we state otherwise in-product.

You should only audit URLs you are authorised to test. We are not responsible for your compliance with third-party site terms.

Google services

• Google Analytics - usage measurement; Google may process data globally under its policies. See Google Privacy Policy.
• Google advertising (AdSense / Google Ads) - third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other sites, to measure ad performance, and to show personalised ads where allowed. Google’s use of advertising data is described at How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps. You can manage personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings and read about opt-outs at aboutads.info (US) or Your Online Choices (EU).
• Google Search Console - we use GSC as site owners to review search performance and indexing for WebFixer.dev. GSC data is generally aggregated and does not identify individual visitors to our Site in the GSC interface.

WebFixer is not affiliated with Google. Advertisers are responsible for their own ad content.

Sharing and processors

We may share data with:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers that run the Site and API;
• Google (Analytics, advertising/AdSense, Search Console, and related Google Cloud services if used);
• Professional advisers or authorities when required by law.

We do not sell your personal data.

International transfers

Data may be processed in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, United States, or other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for transfers outside your region.

Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above, including:

• Server logs - typically a short rolling window unless needed for security investigations;
• Analytics - according to Google Analytics retention settings we configure;
• Contact form messages - until resolved and for a reasonable period afterward;
• Audit/DNS request metadata - limited retention for operations and abuse prevention.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. No online service is completely secure; use the Services at your own risk for highly sensitive information.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, or port personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. You may also complain to a supervisory authority (for example, the ICO in the UK).

To exercise rights, contact us. We may need to verify your request.

Children

The Services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy where permitted by law.
