Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 February 2026

Overview

CIPWE ("Can AI Find Your Website?") is an open-source tool that audits web pages for AI visibility. This privacy policy covers both the CIPWE Chrome Extension and the CIPWE CLI tool.

CIPWE does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data.

What the Chrome Extension Does

When you click "Audit This Page," the extension:

  1. Reads the HTML of the currently active tab to run 19 visibility checks (structured data, headings, metadata, etc.).
  2. Fetches three publicly accessible files from the same website: /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, and /llms.txt.
  3. Calculates a score and displays the results entirely within the extension popup.

All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any external server, analytics service, or third party.

Data Collection

CIPWE does not collect any of the following:

  • Personally identifiable information (name, email, address, etc.)
  • Browsing history or web activity
  • Authentication credentials or cookies
  • Financial or payment information
  • Location data
  • Health information
  • Personal communications

Data Storage

CIPWE does not persist any data between sessions. Each audit runs fresh and results are only shown in the popup UI. Closing the popup discards all results.

Data Sharing

CIPWE does not share, sell, or transfer any data to third parties. There are no analytics, tracking pixels, or telemetry of any kind.

Remote Code

CIPWE does not use any remote code. All JavaScript is bundled within the extension package. There are no external script tags, CDN imports, or dynamically evaluated code.
