1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Fake Follower Checker ("we," "us," or "our"), operated at fakefollowercheck.com, handles information when you use our website and tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy, and this policy describes what data we do and do not collect, how our tool processes information, and what rights you have as a user.
By using Fake Follower Checker, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our website or tools.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Fake Follower Checker is designed to operate without collecting any personal information. Specifically, we do not collect, store, or process:
- Personal identification information — We do not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information to use the tool.
- Account credentials — We never ask for your social media usernames, passwords, or access tokens. The tool does not connect to any social media platform on your behalf.
- Usage data — We do not track which pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, what searches you perform, or what results you receive.
- IP addresses — We do not log or store visitor IP addresses for analytics or any other purpose.
- Device information — We do not collect information about your browser, operating system, screen size, or device type.
Note: If we add Google Analytics (GA4) in the future, this section will be updated to reflect any anonymized usage data that may be collected. Any such addition will be clearly communicated through an update to this policy.
3. Client-Side Processing
All analysis performed by Fake Follower Checker runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. When you enter account metrics into our tool and click "Analyze," the following happens:
- Your browser executes the analysis algorithms locally on your device.
- No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers.
- The results are generated and displayed entirely within your browser.
- When you close or navigate away from the page, the data you entered is only retained if you have chosen to save it to your browser's local storage.
This architecture was chosen specifically to ensure that your data never leaves your device. There is no server-side component that processes, stores, or has access to the information you enter into the tool.
4. Local Storage
Fake Follower Checker uses your browser's localStorage feature for two purposes:
- Theme Preference — We store your light/dark theme preference so that the site displays in your chosen theme each time you visit.
- Analysis History — If you use the tool's history feature, your past analysis results are stored in localStorage so you can review them later. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party.
You can clear this data at any time by:
- Using the "Clear History" option within the tool.
- Clearing your browser's site data or localStorage through your browser settings.
- Using your browser's developer tools to manually remove localStorage entries for fakefollowercheck.com.
localStorage is not the same as cookies. The data stored in localStorage is never automatically sent to any server with HTTP requests.
5. Cookies
Fake Follower Checker does not use cookies. We do not set first-party cookies, and we do not use any third-party services that set cookies on our behalf.
If Google Analytics (GA4) is added in the future, it may use cookies to distinguish unique visitors. Any such change will be reflected in an update to this policy, and appropriate cookie consent mechanisms will be implemented as required by applicable laws.
6. Third-Party Services
Fake Follower Checker uses the following third-party services:
- Google Fonts — We use Google Fonts to serve the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces. Google Fonts are loaded from Google's servers, which means your browser makes a request to Google's CDN when loading the page. Google states that Google Fonts requests do not send cookies and that the Google Fonts API is designed to limit the collection of information to what is needed to serve fonts efficiently. For more details, see Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.
We do not use:
- Advertising networks or ad trackers
- Social media tracking pixels
- Retargeting or remarketing services
- Any analytics platform (unless GA4 is added in the future, which will be disclosed)
- Any social media APIs or data brokers
7. Data Security
Because Fake Follower Checker does not collect, store, or transmit any user data to our servers, there is no centralized database of user information that could be compromised in a data breach. The data you enter into the tool exists only in your browser's memory during your session and, optionally, in your browser's localStorage on your device.
Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure that all communication between your browser and our web server is encrypted. This protects the integrity of the web pages you load, even though no personal data is being transmitted.
8. Children's Privacy
Fake Follower Checker is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Since our tool does not collect personal information from any user, there is no mechanism through which a child's data could be inadvertently collected.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us in any way, please contact us and we will take steps to address the situation.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Your continued use of Fake Follower Checker after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
