Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

SchemaScan ("we", "us", "our") operates the website schemascan.io (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about you when you use our Service.

2. Information we collect

URLs you submit: When you submit a URL for analysis, we fetch and scan that page to generate your schema.org audit report. We do not store submitted URLs beyond the immediate analysis session.

Email address: If you choose to receive a detailed report, we collect your email address solely to send that report. We do not add you to any mailing list or share your email with third parties.

Usage data (with consent): If you accept cookies, we collect anonymised analytics data via Google Analytics (page views, session duration, general location by country). This data cannot be used to identify you personally. We also serve ads via Google AdSense, which may set cookies to show relevant advertisements.

3. Cookies and tracking

We use a cookie consent banner before setting any tracking cookies. If you decline consent:

• No Google Analytics cookies are set
• Google AdSense may still show non-personalised ads
• A single cookie is stored to remember your preference

If you accept consent, Google Analytics sets cookies to help us understand aggregate usage patterns. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies.

4. Google AdSense

SchemaScan uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. We share data only with the service providers listed above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, EmailJS) and only as necessary to operate the Service.

6. Data retention

Email addresses used to send reports are processed in real time via EmailJS and are not stored on our servers. Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics for 14 months. Cookie consent preferences are stored in your browser for 365 days.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we do not store personal data beyond email delivery, there is typically nothing to retrieve or delete. For any privacy requests, contact us at privacy@schemascan.io.

8. Children's privacy

SchemaScan is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
