Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Aerod handles information when someone uses the website, reads content, follows affiliate links, or uses privacy and security apps hosted on Aerod.

Aerod is designed for privacy-sensitive users. The operating principle is simple: collect less, explain what is needed, and avoid invasive tracking by default.

Information the site may process

Aerod may process information in these practical categories:

  • Basic request information required to deliver the website, such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, timestamp, and similar server log fields.
  • App result information required for a tool to return a result, such as the public IP visible to Aerod or browser-provided signals used by a browser privacy check.
  • Voluntary contact information if a user emails Aerod or submits information through a future contact form.
  • Affiliate redirect information when a user clicks a /go/<slug> link, such as the selected redirect slug and basic request metadata needed to perform the redirect.

App checks

Aerod apps should run checks locally in the browser where practical. Some checks necessarily involve a network request. For example, an IP check cannot show the public IP visible to a website without receiving a request from the browser.

When a network check is required, the app should use the information needed to return the result and avoid storing raw browser fingerprints by default.

Analytics and advertising

Aerod can use Google Analytics when a GA4 measurement ID is configured for the site. Analytics should be used to understand site performance, app usage, and content quality without turning Aerod into a user-profiling product.

Aerod also loads the Google AdSense site script so the site can be reviewed and prepared for advertising. AdSense and Google advertising systems may use cookies or similar technologies, process ad request data, and apply Google account or browser-level ad settings outside Aerod’s control.

Aerod should avoid popups, interstitial ad takeovers, or ad layouts that make privacy and security content hard to read.

Aerod may use affiliate links for some providers. Affiliate links should be marked as sponsored or disclosed where they appear. Clicking a provider redirect may take the user to a third-party website with its own privacy policy.

Third-party websites

Aerod may link to third-party websites, including providers, documentation, standards, and reference sources. Aerod does not control how those third parties handle data.

Data retention

Aerod should retain only what is needed for security, operation, debugging, compliance, and aggregate measurement. App results should not be stored as user profiles by default.
