What This Site Knows About You

How the Generator Handles What You Type

Domains, paths, IP addresses, usernames and passwords entered into the rule generator are read by JavaScript running in your browser and never sent anywhere. There is no form submission, no API call, no server that could store them. Copying and downloading happen locally too.

Want to check? Load the page, turn off your wifi, and keep building rules. Everything still works.

Passwords and the .htpasswd hash

The password you type to generate an APR1 hash is processed in the page. It is not transmitted, logged, or kept after you close the tab. Each click makes a fresh random salt, so the same password gives you a different line every time. That is the format working as designed, not a glitch.

Analytics and third parties

This site loads Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages get used. That means Google receives your IP address and standard browser information, described in the Google privacy policy. It never receives anything you type into the tool, because none of it is submitted anywhere. To opt out across every site, Google publishes a browser opt-out add-on, and most content blockers stop the script as well.

Fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser fetches font files from Google's servers. No ad networks, no tracking pixels, no email capture and no accounts. Nothing else is embedded.

Cookies and local storage

The tool itself sets no cookies and writes nothing to local storage. Your selections live in the page for as long as the tab is open and disappear on reload. Google Analytics sets its own cookies, which you can clear or block in your browser settings like any other site data.

Server logs and contact email

The hosting provider keeps standard access logs, the same as any web server: address, timestamp, requested page. They are short lived. Nobody builds a profile from them. If you email the contact address that message sits in a mailbox until it is dealt with, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any point.

Changes to this policy move the date at the top, and the substance will stay consistent with the terms of use and the description of how the tool works.
