Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2025
INDEXED. is a free tool built for founders, freelancers and solo marketers who want plain-spoken SEO guidance. This policy explains what data we collect, what we do not collect, and how your information is handled.
The short version
We do not create accounts, track you, or store your scan results on any server. Everything you do in INDEXED. stays in your own browser. We have no idea who you are.
What we do not collect
- Your name, email address or any contact details
- Your IP address (beyond what your hosting provider logs at the infrastructure level - see below)
- Your scan results or the URLs you check
- Your learning progress, XP or quiz answers
- Cookies - INDEXED. does not set any cookies
- Analytics data - we do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel or any equivalent tracking tool
Where your data lives
All data generated by your use of INDEXED. - your scan result, domain, learning progress, theme preference, weekly task state - is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. This means:
- It never leaves your device
- We cannot access it
- It is not synced across devices or browsers
- Clearing your browser data removes it permanently
What happens when you run a scan
When you enter a URL and hit “Check my site”, our server fetches that public URL to read its HTML - the same thing a browser does when visiting any website. The result is returned to your browser and stored locally. We do not log the URL you scanned, the result, or any identifier linking the scan to you. The scan is stateless: once the response is sent, we retain nothing.
Hosting infrastructure
INDEXED. is hosted on [HOSTING PROVIDER - e.g. Vercel]. Like all web hosting, their infrastructure may log basic request metadata such as IP addresses and timestamps at the server level for security and operational purposes. This is standard practice and outside our control. Please refer to [HOSTING PROVIDER]'s own privacy policy for details. We do not access or process these logs.
Fonts are loaded via Next.js's built-in font system, which downloads and self-hosts Google Fonts at build time. No request is made to Google's font servers when you visit INDEXED.
Affiliate links
Some links on INDEXED. may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up for a third-party service via our link. This comes at no cost to you. Affiliate links are clearly marked. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
Children
INDEXED. is intended for adults running websites or businesses. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to how data is handled - for example if we introduce accounts, analytics or any server-side storage - we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date at the top. We recommend checking back if you use INDEXED. regularly.
