Data We Collect
authorityscore.io collects minimal data required to provide the service:
- Anonymous IP hash — for usage limiting, not identity tracking.
- Checked domains — for cache and leaderboard.
- Email (optional) — only if you sign up for score change notifications.
- Anonymous behavioral signals — aggregated interactions for product improvement.
Data We Do Not Collect
- We do not use tracking cookies.
- We do not use Google Analytics or similar tracking services.
- We do not store full IP addresses.
- We do not sell or share data with third parties.
- We do not use localStorage or sessionStorage for user data.
Bot Protection
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect the service from automated abuse. Turnstile does not use cookies and does not track users across sites.
Email Notifications
If you choose to monitor a domain, your email is only used to send score change notifications. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in each notification email.
Data Retention
Domain check data is stored for 7 days as cache. Leaderboard data is stored permanently as a public record. Notification emails are stored for the duration of an active subscription.
Your Rights
You may request the deletion of your email data at any time. For privacy-related questions, contact us via the contact page.
