When you run a check
Your browser sends the address you typed to our checking service. The service uses it to make one request to that site and returns the result to you. To prevent abuse, it briefly holds, in memory only:
- your IP address and the times of your recent checks, for rate limiting, for up to one hour;
- the most recent result for each checked address, so repeated checks within about 30 seconds do not hit the site again.
Farping does not write check history to a database. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare, when deployed there) may keep standard technical logs of requests, such as IP address, time and URL, for security and reliability. Those logs are governed by the provider’s own privacy terms.
The test from your browser
After our server answers, your browser makes its own request directly to the site you are checking, without cookies. That site can see this request the same way it would see you visiting it. If you would rather it did not, do not check that site.
Stored on your device
Your recent checks are saved in your browser’s local storage so you can repeat them quickly. They never leave your device and you can remove them with “Clear list” on the home page or by clearing site data in your browser.
Advertising
At the time of writing, Farping does not show ads. If advertising is turned on later, we expect to use Google AdSense. In that case Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and to measure them, possibly personalised based on your visits to this and other sites. Where the law requires it, you will be asked for consent first. You can learn more and opt out of personalised ads at Google Ad Settings and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Affiliate links
Some results may include a clearly labelled affiliate link, for example to a VPN service. If you follow it and buy something, Farping may earn a commission. The provider will know you came from Farping, usually through a cookie or a tag in the link. Affiliate links never change check results.
Analytics
Farping does not currently run third-party analytics scripts. If we add privacy-friendly visit counting later, this page will be updated first.
Children
Farping is a general-audience tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices and contact
Because we do not keep accounts or stored histories, there is usually nothing about you for us to look up or delete. If you have a question or request, use the contact page.
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change too.
