Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

AuditCrow is operated by 4D Services ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use auditcrow.com (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently.

2. Information We Collect

Scan data: When you submit a URL for scanning, we store the URL and the resulting report data (scores, issues, page analysis). This data is associated with a randomly generated scan ID - not with any personal identifier.

Waitlist email: If you choose to join our waitlist, we collect your email address and your marketing consent preference. We do not collect any other personal information.

Technical data: We may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and referring pages. This data is used for rate limiting (5 scans per hour per IP) and service monitoring.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Scan reports: To generate, store, and display your website health report via a shareable URL.
• Waitlist: To notify you about AuditCrow product updates and new features, only if you have given marketing consent.
• Rate limiting: To prevent abuse by limiting the number of scans per IP address.
• Service improvement: To understand usage patterns and improve the Service.

4. Data Retention

We do not store reports permanently. The report is available via the link for a limited time (up to 30 days). If you don't download the PDF or return to view it, you may not be able to access it later. Please download the PDF if you want a permanent copy. Waitlist email addresses are retained until you request removal. You can request deletion of your data by contacting us.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Report links work for 30 days; anyone with the link can view the report during that period. Download the PDF to keep a permanent copy. We may share anonymised, aggregated data for analytical purposes.

6. Cookies
