SiteTraceKit

Privacy

SiteTraceKit is designed as a privacy-friendly public signal checker operated by Tom Silas Helmke. The MVP does not use accounts, analytics, tracking cookies, its own database for scan results or stored scan history.

What happens when you run a check

Submitted input is normalized to a public hostname before the scan runs. Paths, query strings, fragments and URL user information are removed or rejected before analysis.

SiteTraceKit checks only publicly visible technical signals of a domain or website. The app may query public sources such as RDAP, DNS, TLS endpoints, HTTP responses and the Wayback CDX API. These live sources can be incomplete, outdated, unavailable or return different data at different times.

What SiteTraceKit does not store

There are no user accounts, no scan-history pages and no permanent database of submitted domains in the MVP. The app is designed to produce a live report and then leave interpretation to the user.

What is not executed, attempted or displayed

SiteTraceKit does not execute third-party scripts from checked websites, does not log in to target websites, does not submit forms and does not perform active attack tests, port scans, bypass attempts or penetration testing. Public HTML and headers are read as text.

Personal RDAP or WHOIS contact data is not displayed in reports. Registration data is limited to neutral fields such as registrar, dates, status and nameservers when available.

Limits of the report

Results are a technical pre-check and can be incomplete or incorrect. They do not guarantee safety, trustworthiness, legal compliance, freedom from malware or freedom from fraud.

SiteTraceKit does not provide legal advice, a security guarantee, a malware assessment, a fraud assessment or a compliance verdict. Important decisions require additional manual and, where appropriate, professional review.

Monetization and possible advertising

SiteTraceKit does not include third-party advertising scripts, advertising widgets, tracking pixels, fake ad placements or popups. It may contain clearly labelled support and affiliate links that remain separated from scan controls and report actions.

If cookie-based advertising or comparable third-party services are introduced later, these privacy notices and the consent setup will be reviewed before activation.

This website may contain affiliate links. If a user clicks a marked link and then buys something or signs a contract with the respective provider, the operator of SiteTraceKit may receive a commission. This does not create additional costs for the user.

Simply visiting SiteTraceKit does not cause simple affiliate text links to place affiliate cookies or tracking pixels on this website. Only after an external link is clicked is the user redirected to the respective provider's website. The privacy terms and data-processing practices of that external provider then apply.

External affiliate links are visibly labelled and technically marked with rel='sponsored' and rel='nofollow'. SiteTraceKit does not append the scanned domain to these partner links and does not use cloaked affiliate redirects.
