What DefectScout receives
Site check: the web address you enter. Our server opens that public page and some of its links to test them. The address is also sent from your browser to Google's PageSpeed Insights service, which runs the speed and accessibility test under Google's own privacy policy.
Spec check: the text you paste. It is sent to our server and then to Anthropic's AI service to write the review. Don't paste passwords, personal data or anything confidential that you aren't allowed to share with a third-party service.
What is stored
We don't keep the pages you check or the specs you paste after the report is written. To apply the daily limit, we store a count of today's checks against a random device ID and your IP address; these counts are not used for anything else. Your browser keeps the device ID, your draft text and your tab choice in its local storage, which you can clear at any time.
No accounts, no ads, no tracking
There is no sign-up, and DefectScout uses no advertising or analytics trackers. The site is hosted on Netlify, which keeps standard server logs.
