Privacy

TruthFoundry collects the minimum needed to run an API.

What we store

An API key (hashed), and an optional email tied to it for issuance and billing. We log per-key request counts by day to enforce rate and daily limits and to meter usage. We do not sell data or build advertising profiles.

Cookies and analytics

The site sets no analytics cookies unless you accept them. A cookie banner offers optional Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (and, for visitors in the EEA and the UK, Google Ireland Limited). If you decline, or ignore the banner, no analytics code loads and nothing is sent to Google. The public UI carries a shared, rate-limited demo key in the page; it is not personal to you.

If you accept, Google Analytics collects: the pages you view and how you arrived, approximate city-level location derived from your IP address (GA4 does not log or store the IP itself), device information (browser, OS, screen size, language), and a random identifier stored in first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_ plus a container id) so repeat visits count as one visitor. We do not send Google your name, email, or username; we do not use analytics for advertising; we do not sell it. Google processes this data on our behalf as a data processor under Google's data processing terms, which include the EU Standard Contractual Clauses where they apply; data may be processed in the United States, and Google LLC participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

If you are signed in to a DRM3 account and have accepted analytics, we also send Google a pseudonymous account identifier, so that a person who uses several DRM3 apps is counted as one person instead of several. Because our apps live on separate domains, this identifier is what links your activity across them into a single view. It is an opaque internal id, not your name, email, or username, and Google cannot identify you from it on its own. We never combine it with advertising data and it is never sold. Signed out, or analytics declined, nothing is sent.

Retention: Google Analytics keeps this data up to 14 months, then deletes it automatically; the _ga cookies expire after at most two years. Your consent choice stays in your browser until you change it: use Cookie settings in the footer any time. Switching analytics off deletes the Google Analytics cookies for this site and stops any further collection.
