Privacy Policy

Introduction

API Checkers ("we", "our", or "us") operates apicheckers.com. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

API Keys

When you use our API validation service, you provide API keys for verification. We want to be absolutely clear:

• Your API keys are never stored in any database or file system
• They are never logged to any logging service or analytics platform
• They exist only in server memory during validation (typically less than 2 seconds)
• They are immediately discarded after validation completes
• They are never shared with any third-party services

Usage Data

We collect minimal, anonymous usage data to improve our service:

• Timestamp of validation requests
• Platform being validated (e.g., "OpenAI", "Anthropic")
• Success/failure status (not the reason for failure)
• Anonymous IP addresses (last octet removed for anonymization)
• Browser type and version (via User-Agent)

How We Use Your Information

The minimal data we collect is used solely for:

• Service Operation: To process your API key validation requests
• Performance Monitoring: To ensure fast response times and high uptime
• Abuse Prevention: To prevent excessive usage and potential abuse
• Service Improvement: To understand which platforms are most commonly used
• Error Tracking: To identify and fix technical issues

Data Security

We take security seriously and implement multiple layers of protection:

• HTTPS/TLS: All data transmitted to and from our service uses secure HTTPS
• No Storage: API keys never touch persistent storage systems
• Memory-Only Processing: Keys exist only in volatile server memory
• Secure Infrastructure: Servers are hardened and regularly updated
• Limited Access: Only essential personnel can access server infrastructure

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies and tracking:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the service to function (session management)
• No Analytics Cookies: We don't use Google Analytics or similar services
• No Advertising Trackers: We don't serve ads or use advertising networks
• No Cross-Site Tracking: We don't track you across other websites

Third-Party Services

Our service interacts with AI platform APIs only for validation purposes:

• We send your API key directly to the platform's API endpoint for validation
• We don't store or log the response from the platform
• We only relay the validation result (valid/invalid) back to you
• Your API key is subject to the privacy policy of the platform you're validating

Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access: Since we don't store personal data, there's nothing to access
• Right to Deletion: Data is automatically deleted after validation
• Right to Object: You can simply stop using our service at any time
• Right to Information: This policy explains our data practices in full

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately upon posting.
