Privacy Policy

Robots.txt Studio is built privacy-first. We have no user accounts and we store no personal data. This page explains exactly what we process when you use the tools.

Last updated June 10, 2026

The short version

  • No sign-up, no accounts, no personal profiles.
  • Most tools run entirely in your browser — what you paste stays on your device.
  • When you analyze or fetch a domain, our server fetches that site's public robots.txt and returns the result without storing it.
  • We do not sell data, and we currently use no advertising or third-party analytics cookies.

What we process

The Generator, Validator, URL Tester, Explainer, and AI Crawler Manager run client-side in your browser. Content you paste into them is processed locally and is not transmitted to us.

When you use Analyze or the fetch-from-URL option, the domain you enter is sent to our server so it can request that site's publicly available /robots.txt file. We process the response in memory to produce your report and return it to you. We do not persist the domain, the fetched file, or the report.

We only fetch public robots.txt

Our server requests the robots.txt file at the host you specify and nothing else. It is the same public file any web crawler can read.

Cookies and local storage

We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Some tools use your browser's local storage to improve your experience — for example, the URL Tester keeps your recent tests on your device within a session. That data stays in your browser and is never sent to us.

If we add privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics in the future, we will update this policy to describe what is collected before enabling it.

Third parties

  • Hosting — the site is served by our infrastructure provider, which may process standard request metadata (such as IP address) to deliver and secure the service.
  • Sites you analyze — when you fetch a domain, our request reaches the third-party site you chose; that site may log the request as it would any crawler.

Your choices and contact

Because we hold no accounts and store no personal data, there is nothing for us to export or delete on your behalf. You can clear tool data held in your browser at any time via your browser settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date (currently June 10, 2026).
