1. What we collect
When you visit getcarfeinated.com without claiming a rooftop or signing up for the quarterly brief, we collect minimal pageview telemetry: URL, referrer, viewport, and a cookie-less device hash for rate-limiting.
When you submit a URL to scan, we record the URL, the IP it came from, and a timestamp.
When you sign up for the quarterly brief, we collect the email address you provided and the source surface (footer, insights band, claim flow).
When you claim a rooftop, we collect the verification artifact you used (DNS record, meta tag, or domain-email confirmation) plus the contact email tied to the claim.
2. What we publish
Scan results — score, dimension breakdown, and evidence — are public by design. They appear on the directory and the rooftop's own results page. We do not gate them behind authentication.
We do not publish: claim contact emails, claim verification artifacts, scan-submitter IPs, or any data tied to a logged-in carfeine.com session.
4. Your rights
You can request a copy of any data tied to a claimed rooftop or a brief subscription by emailing privacy@carfeine.com. We respond within 30 days.
You can unsubscribe from the quarterly brief in one click — every email contains a working unsubscribe link.
You can request deletion of a claim and its associated artifacts. Public scan results are not deletable on request, because they describe a public website — but a claim can be unwound.
6. Changes to this policy
If we materially change what we collect, what we publish, or what we share, we'll update the version stamp at the top of this page and email subscribers of the quarterly brief at least 30 days before the change takes effect.
