Privacy

What this site records, and what it does not.

hwic.dev and docs.hwic.dev keep a plain server-side log of page views so the owner can see what gets read. There is no analytics script, no tracking pixel and no analytics cookie — the log is built from the request your browser already sends.

What a page view records

  • The page path you opened, such as /server or /guides/download/. Query strings are dropped before anything is stored, so a licence key or a checkout token in a link is never logged.
  • The time of the request.
  • Your IP address as our own web server saw it, and an approximate location (country, region, city) looked up in an offline database on this server. The lookup is approximate and often wrong for mobile, VPN and proxy connections. Nobody sends your IP to a third party for this.
  • The referring page, if your browser sent one, without its query string.
  • Your browser's user-agent string, and the browser, operating system and device type read from it.

What is not recorded

  • Nothing under /api, the admin panel, downloads, images, fonts or other assets.
  • No query strings, form contents, licence keys, passwords or payment details.
  • No cross-site tracking, fingerprinting or advertising identifiers. An IP address does not identify a person, and it is not used to try.
  • Nothing from ad blockers to bypass: because this is server-side, blockers do not affect it — and there is nothing for them to block either.

How long it is kept

Page-view records are deleted automatically after a set number of days (90 by default) and can be deleted earlier by the owner at any time. Summaries the owner looks at count “unique visitors” with a one-way hash of the day, IP and browser string, so the same person is one visitor for a day and a new one the next.

Cookies and the licence

  • The only cookies are functional: one that remembers you entered a licence key at the front door, one that keeps you signed in to docs.hwic.dev, and one for the owner's admin session. None of them is used for analytics.
  • A bitchos licence is tied to the network it is used from. The service therefore keeps the IP address(es) a key has been used from, shown on the key's own page, for as long as the key exists. That is part of how the licence works, not analytics.
  • Purchases go through Stripe, which handles card details under its own privacy policy; this site only receives the outcome of the payment.
