Privacy policy

Squarespell Auditor is a free website audit tool run by Squarespell. This page explains what it collects and why. If you have questions or want your data deleted, email info@squarespell.com.

What we collect

• The website you audit and the report we produce from its public pages. Reports are stored so we can show them to you, cache them for 24 hours and show your score history.
• Your email address (and first name, if you give it) when you unlock a full report or run more audits, plus whether you ticked the box for tips by email.
• A one-way hash of your IP address, used only for rate limits and abuse prevention. We don't store your IP address itself.

How we use it

• To run the audit and show you the results.
• To follow up about your report, for example to answer questions or offer help with the issues it found.
• To send occasional Squarespace tips, only if you ticked the box. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• To prevent abuse of the free tool (rate limits per visitor and per site).

Cookies

We use only strictly necessary cookies, no analytics or advertising cookies, and no third-party tracking on this site:

• sa_session: remembers that you unlocked reports with your email (up to 180 days).
• sa_anon: counts audits run before you shared an email (30 days).
• sa_admin: only for Squarespell staff signed in to the admin page.

If you switch between light and dark mode, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage on your device. It is not a cookie and is never sent to us.

Share links

After you unlock a report you can copy a share link. Anyone with that link can view the report, so only share it with people you trust. Share links are long random codes that can't be guessed, and they are hidden from search engines. Email us to switch one off.

Services we use

• Google PageSpeed Insights and Chrome UX Report: we send the address of the site being audited to Google to measure its speed. No personal data is sent.
• Anthropic (Claude): if enabled, we send a summary of the audit findings and the site's public title and description to generate the “Growth” and “Questions” sections. Your email is never sent.
• Hostinger: hosts this tool and its database. If you ticked the box for tips, your email and first name are also added to our mailing list (Hostinger Reach). If you didn't, they stay only in our database.

How long we keep it

Audit reports and lead details are kept until you ask us to delete them, or until we no longer need them for the purposes above. Rate-limit records are deleted after two days.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to marketing, at any time by emailing info@squarespell.com. If you are in the UK or EU you can also complain to your data protection authority.
