Privacy Policy

Last updated: [date] · This is a template — have a lawyer review it before you rely on it.

This page describes what the Scanline code actually does, as shipped. If you change the site's behavior, update this page to match — a privacy policy that doesn't match reality is worse than none.

What this site does

Scanline shows you, the visitor, a read-out of technical information your browser and network connection expose to any website: your IP address, an approximate location, basic device and browser characteristics, and a couple of simple checks related to VPN or proxy use.

What we collect

Scanline has no server, no database, and no user accounts. Nothing you see on the page is transmitted to us or stored anywhere by us. All of the readings are computed by JavaScript running in your own browser, for your own eyes.

The one third-party request

To look up your IP address, approximate city, and internet provider, your browser sends a request directly to a third-party IP-lookup service ([e.g. ipapi.co / ipwho.is] — name the one you actually use). That request necessarily includes your IP address, because that's what makes the lookup possible. We don't see that request or its response; it goes straight from your browser to theirs. Review their privacy policy if you want details on how they handle it.

Precise location

If you tap "Use precise location instead," your browser will ask your permission before sharing GPS or Wi-Fi-based location. We never request this automatically, and the result is only shown to you — it isn't sent anywhere.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not set cookies, does not use analytics, and does not track visitors across sessions or across other sites.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children and is not designed to collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this page's description of our practices changes, we'll update the date above.
