Privacy
What this site collects
Short version: this site makes no third-party requests at all, and nothing you type or drop into the tools ever leaves your browser. One thing is saved locally, your theme choice, and it is described below.
The tools
Both tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you give them is uploaded, and there is no server to upload to.
The log analyzer reads your log file with the browser's own File API and parses it in a Web Worker on your machine. The file is never transmitted, never stored, and is gone when you close the tab. The page counts network requests live from the moment you hand over a file so you can see that for yourself, and it keeps working with the network disconnected.
The error code decoder works the same way. The code list is a file your browser downloads with the page, and the lookup happens locally. Whatever you paste into the box, including anything you copied out of a log, stays in your browser.
What is stored in your browser
One thing, and only if you use the theme switch in the header. Choosing dark or light
saves a single entry called itkab-theme in your browser's local storage.
It holds the word dark or the word light, nothing else. It is
not a cookie, it is never sent with a request, and I have no way to read it. Clearing
site data for itkab.com removes it, and the site then follows whatever your operating
system is set to.
Nothing else is stored. The tools do not save your logs, your codes, or your history.
Getting in touch
The contact page carries no address and no form that submits anywhere. It offers two things: links to a public GitHub issue tracker, and a form that composes a message and hands it to your own mail application. Both only do anything when you act, and neither is a request this site makes. If you follow a link to GitHub you are on GitHub's site under their privacy terms, the same as any other outbound link.
Analytics
Page views are counted by the host, Cloudflare, from requests it already handles in order to serve the site. There is no analytics script in these pages, no cookie, no fingerprinting, and no profile built across sites. I use the counts to see which pages are worth expanding.
Server logs
The hosting provider keeps standard request logs, which include IP addresses, as part of serving and protecting the site. I do not use those logs for anything else.
Advertising
This site does not currently display advertising. If that changes, third-party ad providers may set cookies or use similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and this page will be updated to name the provider and link to their disclosures before any ad code goes live.
What I do not do
- No accounts, no sign-in, no newsletter list.
- No selling or sharing of visitor data.
- No third-party scripts. Not one, on any page.
- No third-party requests. Fonts are served from this domain, and the tools have no service behind them to call.
- No hosted contact form, which would mean your message passing through someone else's server.
- No storing of anything you paste, upload, or search for.
That list is a description of the current site, not a slogan. If advertising is ever added it will involve third-party code, and this page will say so plainly and name the provider before any of it goes live.
External links
Entries link to Microsoft documentation so you can check the source. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which I do not control.
