1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy
At Scanline SEO Crawler & Audit Suite ("Scanline", "we", "us", or "our"), we value and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, process, store, and protect information when you utilize our cloud platform, real-time website auditing tools, crawling engines, and diagnostic services.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimum necessary information required to provide accurate, real-time technical SEO audits and maintain account functionality:
- Account Credentials: Username, email address, hashed passwords, and chosen billing tiers.
- Target Audit Domains: URLs, hostnames, and custom crawl parameters submitted to our diagnostics engine.
- Audit & Diagnostic Telemetry: HTTP response codes, meta tags, schema markup, heading structures, canonical link graphs, and performance metrics extracted during crawl executions.
- Technical & Log Data: IP addresses, browser user-agents, request timestamps, and system activity logs maintained for security auditing.
3. How We Use Your Information
Information gathered by Scanline is utilized strictly for the following purposes:
- Executing real-time asynchronous site crawls and generating deep-dive SEO diagnostic reports.
- Exporting multi-sheet formatted Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and JSON audit datasets for your domains.
- Enforcing subscription quotas, concurrency thresholds, and rate-limiting safeguards.
- Maintaining security integrity, preventing crawler abuse, and verifying authorized platform access.
4. Public Website Crawling & Data Handling
Scanline's crawler engine processes publicly accessible web pages in accordance with web standards. We respect standard robots.txt crawl-delay directives and user-defined throttle delays to ensure target web servers are never overloaded.
5. Data Security & Storage
All data transmitted between your browser and Scanline is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL). Stored audit runs and user records are housed in secure MySQL database instances with strict role-based access control (RBAC) policies and periodic automated backups.
6. Third-Party Disclosures
We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information or domain audit datasets to third-party advertisers or data brokers. Data is only processed through trusted infrastructure providers (such as hosting and transactional notification services) necessary for platform operation.
7. User Rights & Data Deletion
You maintain full control over your saved SEO audit histories. You may delete individual audit runs or request complete account erasure at any time through your User Dashboard or by contacting support@scanline.local.
