Privacy
You can use geotool without an account — audit anonymously, with no tracking and no third-party analytics. Signing in with Google is optional and only adds a personal history of the pages you've checked. Running an audit stores the URL you submitted and the resulting report; your IP address is used for rate limiting and is not stored alongside it.
What is stored
| The URL you audit | Stored with the report so the shareable link keeps working. |
|---|---|
| The report | Findings, score and the measured facts about the page. Stored indefinitely unless you ask for removal. |
| Your IP address | Used only to enforce the hourly rate limit. Held in a counter keyed by address, not linked to your audits, and reset each hour. |
| Server logs | Standard web-server request logs, retained short-term for operations and abuse handling. |
Reports are public
Every report is served at a public URL that anyone holding the link can open, and the link is designed to be shared — including with an AI assistant. Do not audit URLs you would not want disclosed, such as staging hosts, preview links containing tokens, or pages behind an unlisted address. The audit only ever fetches what a public crawler could fetch, but the report records that the URL exists.
Anonymous by default
- No sign-up required — audit anonymously. Sign-in is an optional convenience (see below).
- No tracking or third-party cookies. Your chosen language is kept in a small cookie so server-rendered pages match it; theme lives in your browser's local storage. A session cookie is added only if you sign in.
- No third-party analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. The page loads nothing from any other domain.
- No content of the pages you audit beyond what appears in the report itself.
If you sign in
Signing in with Google is optional. It sets one session cookie to keep you signed in, and records the pages you check — the URL, the score and the time — so you can see your history and watch a page improve. We receive only your email address and a Google account id, never your password, and load nothing from Google on the public pages. Sign out any time; email [email protected] to delete your history.
Removal
Email [email protected] with the report link and it will be deleted. No account or proof of ownership is required, since reports contain only publicly fetchable information.
