To be clear and transparent about what data this software uses and how it is handled.
To implement a rate limiting system, this software works with your IP address.
However, the IP is immediately hashed using SHA-256, combined with a SALT key (strong, secret, and secure) stored in the .dev.vars file (in local) and in Cloudflare secrets in production. Your IP is never logged anywhere.
The IP is never stored in any external database or service.
The hashed IP is the only personal information used by this project, and it's solely for security and abuse-prevention purposes. While fingerprinting could also be used, this project aims to remain as privacy-friendly as possible.
The hashed IP is kept only for the time required to apply rate limiting and is automatically removed afterward.
You can check the rate.ts file if you want to see how it works.
The processing of the hashed IP address is strictly for protecting the service against abuse (rate limiting). This data is pseudonymized and cannot identify any user.
No cookies, no analytics, no tracking logs, or any other data is collected by the project.
About my Online instance with Cloudflare Workers:
This project is hosted on Cloudflare Workers, a serverless platform.
Even though IP addresses are hashed with a strong secret and automatically after few seconds, this data might be subject to processing in jurisdictions with different privacy laws.
If you're concerned about this, consider self-hosting the project in an EU-only environment. Remember that Cloudflare Workers is an edge platform, and its goal is to run code as close to the user as possible.
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
Any updates will be posted on this page and will take effect immediately upon posting.
If you wish to request the removal of the hashed IP associated with your usage, you may contact me.
Please note that this hash cannot identify you personally and is never linked to any other data.
If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact me.
