Privacy Policy

Version 3.0 Effective August 11, 2026

AI Crawler Check (aicrawlercheck.com), operated by Horatos.ai, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit and use our website.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

  • URLs for Analysis: When you use our AI Crawler Check tool, you submit website URLs for analysis. We do not store these URLs permanently after the analysis is complete.
  • Contact Information: If you contact us via email (hello@horatos.ai), we collect your email address and message content.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Analytics: With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited, via Google Tag Manager) and Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) to collect anonymous usage data including page views, session duration, geographic region (country/city level), device type, browser type, referring URLs and aggregated interaction data such as scroll depth. Neither runs until you accept in the cookie banner.
  • Cookieless Traffic Measurement: Our hosting provider Cloudflare, Inc. runs Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views, referrer, country, device type and page speed in aggregate. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so it cannot recognise you on a later visit or across other sites. Because it stores nothing, it is not covered by the cookie banner and runs for every visitor; we rely on legitimate interest rather than consent. Our Cookie Policy section 3.3 explains this in full, including how to block it.
  • Cookies: We use cookies and local storage for analytics and essential site functionality. Nothing non-essential is set before you consent. See our Cookie Policy for the full inventory, legal bases and retention periods.
  • IP Addresses: IP addresses are temporarily processed for rate limiting and abuse prevention but are not stored or logged permanently.

1.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not require user registration or accounts.
  • We do not collect passwords, payment information, or financial data.
  • We do not collect personal identification documents.
  • We do not sell or rent any personal information to third parties.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Service Delivery: To analyze websites you submit and provide AI Visibility Score results.
  • Analytics: To understand usage patterns and improve our tools (via Google Analytics).
  • Security: To detect and prevent abuse, scraping, and unauthorized access.
  • Communication: To respond to your inquiries if you contact us.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymous, aggregated analytics data with:

  • Google Analytics: Anonymous usage statistics for website improvement.
  • Cloudflare: Our hosting provider processes requests through their global network for security and performance.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • All connections use HTTPS/TLS encryption.
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) headers prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
  • Rate limiting protects against abuse and denial-of-service attacks.
  • Bot filtering blocks unauthorized scrapers and attack bots.
  • No permanent data storage of user-submitted URLs or analysis results.

5. AI Crawlers & Bot Policy

AI Crawler Check allows major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) to access our public informational content for the purpose of referencing and recommending our tools and brand. However:

  • AI crawlers are not permitted to access, copy, or reproduce our proprietary source code, scoring algorithms, bot database structure, or tool logic.
  • AI crawlers are not permitted to use our content to build competing tools or services.
  • Our robots.txt and llms.txt files define specific access rules for AI crawlers.

6. Cookies

We use cookies for analytics and essential site functionality. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time. For full details, please see our Cookie Policy.

7. Children's Privacy

AI Crawler Check is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

8. International Data Transfers

AI Crawler Check is hosted on Cloudflare's global edge network. By using our service, your requests may be processed at Cloudflare data centers worldwide. We rely on Cloudflare's data processing agreements and security measures for international transfers.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict processing of your data.
  • Withdraw consent for cookies at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

Since we collect minimal personal data and do not require accounts, most of these rights are automatically fulfilled. To exercise any rights, contact us at hello@horatos.ai.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
