Privacy Policy | AsGuardian Shield

This policy explains what information AsGuardian Shield (asguardianshield.com) collects when you use the site, why, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible.

Information we collect

Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how visitors find the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and referring site. We use this in aggregate and do not use it to identify you.
Contact form: if you send us a message, we store the name, email address and message you submit so we can reply. We do not add you to marketing lists.
Server logs: our hosting provider (Vercel) processes technical data such as IP addresses and request details to deliver and secure the site.

Our free security tools

Pwned Password Checker: your password is hashed in your browser and only the first five characters of the hash are sent to Have I Been Pwned’s Pwned Passwords service (k-anonymity). Your password is never sent to us or to that service.
IP Address Lookup: the IP address you enter is looked up server-side using a third-party IP geolocation service (ipwho.is). We do not store lookups.
Domain Security Report: we fetch the domain’s certificate, HTTP headers and DNS records live to produce the report. We do not store the domains checked.
Email Header Analyzer: headers you paste are analyzed to produce the report; avoid pasting message bodies or confidential content.
