1. Who We Are

AudZap is a free, browser-based SEO audit tool available at audzap.com. AudZap provides professional-grade SEO analysis to website owners, developers, and marketers — completely free, with no account required.

This Privacy Policy explains what information AudZap collects (very little), how it is used, and your rights regarding your data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

AudZap does not require registration or login. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information (PII). The only input you provide is a URL to audit, which is processed locally in your browser and never sent to our servers.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit audzap.com, standard web server logs may record:

• Your IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring URL

This data is used only for security and performance monitoring. It is not linked to any personal identity.

2.3 Local Storage (Browser-Side Only)

AudZap stores the following data in your browser's localStorage — this data never leaves your device:

• Recent audit history (URLs and scores)
• Your preferred language setting
• Optional AI provider settings (stored locally, never transmitted)
• Zappi gamification data (ZP points, happiness, unlocked items)

You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or site data.

3. Cookies

AudZap itself does not set any tracking cookies. However, third-party services embedded in our site may use cookies:

3.1 Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history and interests. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

• You can opt out of personalized ads at adssettings.google.com
• Learn more at Google's Advertising Policies

3.2 Google Fonts

We load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google may collect basic request data per their privacy policy. No personal data is used for advertising purposes through this service.

4. How We Use Information

The limited data we access is used solely for:

• Providing and improving the AudZap SEO audit tool
• Ensuring website security and preventing abuse
• Displaying relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
• Analyzing aggregate usage patterns (non-personal) to improve features

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any third parties. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond the above.

5. Third-Party Services

AudZap integrates with the following third-party services. Their use of data is governed by their respective privacy policies:

• Google AdSense — policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Fonts — Google Fonts Privacy FAQ
• OpenAI / Google Gemini (Optional) — Only if you choose to connect your own API key. Your key is stored locally and never sent to AudZap servers.

6. AI Features (Optional)

AudZap offers optional AI-powered analysis. If you choose to use this feature, you must provide your own API key (e.g., from OpenAI or Google). This key is:

• Stored only in your browser's localStorage
• Used only to make API calls from your browser directly to the AI provider
• Never transmitted to or stored on AudZap servers
• Cleared when you close the settings modal (for security)

7. Children's Privacy

AudZap is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted data through our service, please contact us and we will promptly address the issue.

8. Your Rights

Since AudZap stores virtually no personal data, there is very little to request. However, you have the right to:

• Clear your local data — Open browser DevTools → Application → LocalStorage → Clear all audzap.com entries
• Opt out of personalized ads — Visit adssettings.google.com
• Contact us — For any privacy-related requests

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to access, rectify, and erase your data.

9. Data Security

Since AudZap processes all data locally in your browser and does not transmit personal data to external servers, the security risk is minimal. We use HTTPS to encrypt all connections between your browser and our CDN.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of AudZap after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
