Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Gitae processes information when providing free public diagnostics for websites, domains, IP addresses, DNS, TLS, ports, routing, and related infrastructure checks.
1. Who we are
Gitae is created and operated by Sergey Solod. If you have a privacy, data protection, or legal inquiry related to Gitae, you may contact us at sergeissolod@gmail.com.
Gitae is a focused public diagnostics product designed to provide practical technical checks for public websites, domains, IP addresses, DNS records, TLS certificates, ports, routing paths, and related internet-facing infrastructure.
2. Scope of this Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Gitae website, its public diagnostics tools, related product pages, contact flows, and other interactions in which information is processed in connection with the operation of the service.
The service is designed for technical diagnostics of public internet-facing resources. It is not intended to collect credentials, secrets, private infrastructure details, or confidential internal network information.
3. Information we may process
We may process technical identifiers and targets that you choose to submit for a check, such as a website address, domain name, subdomain, IP address, hostname, port number, DNS record target, or similar diagnostic input.
We may process diagnostic outputs and related technical response data generated by the service, including reachability results, redirect chains, status codes, DNS answers, TLS certificate details, network path observations, timing data, protocol-level metadata, and similar technical evidence returned by the checked target or observed during the diagnostic process.
We may process technical data needed to operate, secure, and improve the service, such as IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, request metadata, approximate usage patterns, error information, and abuse-prevention signals.
If you contact us, we may process the information you provide in your message, such as your email address, the contents of your inquiry, and any other information you voluntarily include.
4. How diagnostics work and where processing occurs
Gitae performs server-side checks in order to generate diagnostic results. When you run a tool, the target you submit and the technical responses received during the check may be transmitted to and processed by backend systems used by Gitae.
Gitae uses backend infrastructure in Russia and Finland. Certain checks may therefore be performed from one or both of those server locations, depending on the tool and the structure of the result.
Two-location comparisons in Gitae reflect observations from Russia and Finland only. They are not presented as proof of how every region, network, carrier, or jurisdiction sees the same target.
5. Purposes of processing
We process information to provide diagnostic results requested by the user, maintain the service, troubleshoot problems, improve tool quality, detect abuse, preserve service integrity, and respond to user inquiries.
We may also process information to understand how users interact with the product, which tools are most useful, where technical issues occur, and how wording, evidence presentation, and result quality can be improved.
Where required, we may process information to comply with applicable law, lawful requests by public authorities, or the protection of rights, safety, and legitimate interests.
6. Analytics, cookies, and similar technologies
Gitae may use Yandex Metrica and similar website analytics technologies to understand traffic patterns, tool usage, page performance, and general product behavior.
These technologies may use cookies, browser storage, identifiers, and comparable mechanisms to support analytics and product improvement.
We do not intentionally use analytics tools to transmit passwords, secret tokens, message contents that do not need to be there, or other sensitive information. Users should not submit passwords, internal hostnames, credentials, tokens, or other sensitive infrastructure data into the service or contact forms.
Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential analytics technologies, such technologies should be activated only after the required consent has been obtained.
7. Legal bases for processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we may rely on one or more of the following grounds: your consent, the necessity of providing the service you request, our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving Gitae, and compliance with legal obligations.
Where consent is required for analytics or similar non-essential technologies, we rely on consent before activating those technologies.
8. Sharing of information
We may share information with hosting providers, infrastructure providers, analytics providers, security providers, and other technical service providers to the extent reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyze, and improve Gitae.
We may also disclose information where disclosure is required by law, regulation, court order, lawful request by competent authorities, or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, protect safety, or prevent abuse.
We do not sell personal data as a standalone product.
9. Retention
We retain information for no longer than is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including service delivery, security, diagnostics, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and reasonable recordkeeping.
Diagnostic inputs, technical outputs, logs, and related metadata may be retained for a limited period where reasonably necessary to maintain result integrity, troubleshoot issues, improve the service, detect abuse, or comply with legal obligations.
Contact messages and related correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, continue communications, resolve disputes, or keep a reasonable record of the exchange.
10. International and cross-border aspects
Because Gitae uses backend systems in Russia and Finland, submitted targets and related technical diagnostic data may be processed from, through, or within those jurisdictions as part of ordinary service operation.
In addition, some service providers may process limited technical or analytics data under their own infrastructure arrangements. For that reason, users should not assume that every category of technical data is confined to a single country unless expressly stated otherwise.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the service and the information processed in connection with it. However, no method of transmission, storage, or technical operation can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure.
Users must not submit passwords, authentication credentials, secret keys, internal-only hostnames, confidential customer infrastructure details, or other sensitive information through Gitae unless a secure and explicitly intended channel has been provided for that purpose.
12. User rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability, or withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.
To make a privacy-related request, contact sergeissolod@gmail.com. We may ask for reasonable verification of identity and sufficient context to locate the information relevant to the request.
13. Children's privacy
Gitae is not intended for the deliberate collection of personal data from children in circumstances where parental or guardian consent is required by applicable law.
If you believe that personal data relating to a child has been provided to Gitae inappropriately, please contact sergeissolod@gmail.com.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the service, its infrastructure, analytics, legal obligations, or operational practices.
The updated version will apply from the time it is published on the relevant page unless a different effective approach is required by applicable law.
