What Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically:

  • Log data: Like most web servers, our server may log your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you visit. These logs are used for security and debugging purposes only and are not sold or shared with third parties.
  • Cookies: We may use cookies or similar technologies for site functionality and to support advertising (see the Advertising section below). You can control cookies through your browser settings.

These services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reading them to understand how they handle your data.

SSL Tool Data — Important Notice

When you use our SSL Certificate Decoder, CSR Inspector, or URL Checker tools:

  • Certificate and CSR data you paste or upload is sent to our server only to decode it and return the results to you.
  • We do not store, log, or share certificate content after your request is complete.
  • These tools only read public certificate information. Private key data is never requested or accepted.
  • For the URL checker, we connect to the server you specify to fetch its public SSL certificate. Your IP address will be visible in the connection to that server.
