Privacy Policy - GotAlt

GotAlt uses minimal data collection practices. We employ basic, privacy-focused analytics to understand overall visitor numbers and site performance, and our hosting platform (Vercel) maintains standard server logs. We do not use this information to track individual users or build user profiles.

We prioritize your privacy by:

• Never selling or sharing any data with third parties
• Not using invasive tracking cookies or fingerprinting techniques
• Collecting only anonymous, aggregated data for service improvements

When you use GotAlt Services or perform any search query or other request, we don't identify who you are or process any information that your browser typically sends automatically. The GotAlt search engine simply processes the search data you input to generate relevant results.

Unlike many online services, we've taken a different approach. We profile the web, not the users. This fundamental difference is what sets us apart and allows us to deliver quality results while respecting your privacy.

When visiting most websites, your browser sends your IP address and User-Agent information, which can be used to create profiles and track your online behavior. We've specifically configured GotAlt Services to not store, process, or do anything with these user details.

For the core functionality of our search service, a session token cookie is temporarily stored by the platform that powers GotAlt. This technical necessity helps process your search query and ensures a secure, responsive experience.

Importantly, this cookie contains no personal information and is not used for tracking or profiling. It exists solely to maintain the technical connection between your query and our search results. We don't extract, analyze, or store any personal data from this process.
