Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to AI-Scraper Shield ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible via aiscrapershield.com. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy and digital sovereignty of all visitors and content creators who use our Unicode Homoglyph Obfuscation and AI-Scraper protection utilities.

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that may be collected when you visit our website, how that data is processed, and your rights regarding data privacy, in strict compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and standard advertising network requirements including Google AdSense.

2. Content Processing: Zero Server-Side Logging

Our application operates under a strict Zero-Knowledge, Client-Side Only security paradigm:

• No Text Transmissions: Any article, manuscript, code, or proprietary text you paste into the input editor is processed entirely in your web browser's local JavaScript runtime.
• No Server Databases: We do not operate remote databases, machine learning pipelines, or API logging endpoints that ingest user text.
• No Content Inspection: We cannot read, index, decrypt, or reproduce the text you obfuscate. When you close or refresh your browser tab, the text in the browser memory is instantly released.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies, specifically Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. Like most professional websites, aiscrapershield.com uses cookies for:

• Essential & Functional Cookies: To ensure proper layout rendering, user interface state management, and cybersecurity firewall protection.
• Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4): We utilize GA4 (G-33S2M32ND0) to understand website traffic patterns, visitor volumes, referring channels, and engagement metrics. GA4 collects anonymized IP addresses and device browser types without identifying you personally.
• Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Used by Google to personalize ads, calculate ad performance metrics, and combat fraudulent clicks.

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off cookies in your browser settings. However, this may affect how you are able to interact with our site and other websites across the Internet.

5. GDPR Compliance (EU / EEA Visitors)

For users residing within the European Economic Area (EEA), our data processing adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under GDPR, your rights include:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request copies of any personal data held about you.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to Restrict Processing & Object: You have the right to object to automated processing or request restriction of data processing.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request transfer of your data to another organization.

Because we operate a zero-knowledge architecture that never collects or stores your processed text or account records, we hold zero user-generated content records on our infrastructure.

6. CCPA / CPRA Privacy Rights (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California consumers are entitled to specific rights regarding their personal information:

• No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or submitted content to any data broker or commercial entity.
• Right to Know & Delete: You can request disclosure and deletion of any personal telemetry data collected.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA privacy rights.

7. Children's Information (COPPA)

Protecting the online privacy of children is especially important. AI-Scraper Shield does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you believe that your child has provided personal information on our website, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

8. Security of Information

We use standard SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) to ensure that all interactions between your browser and our static hosting server are securely transmitted. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
