Privacy policy

Last updated: April 2026.

PatchLeaks (pwn.az) is a self-hosted security-research site. This page describes what data we collect, what we don't, and how to contact us with privacy questions.

What we do not collect

  • No third-party analytics by default. We do not run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any ad-network tracking script on public pages.
  • No cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
  • No sale of personal data. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

What we do collect

  • Access logs. Our web tier (Cloudflare + the PatchLeaks server) records standard request metadata — IP address, user agent, request path, timestamp, response code — for abuse prevention, capacity planning, and debugging. Logs are retained for up to 30 days and are not shared with third parties.
  • Search Console / Webmaster Tools. If you are a verified operator of pwn.az, Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools may collect aggregated crawl and query data about this site. See the respective providers' policies for details.
  • Cloudflare. PatchLeaks is served via Cloudflare's reverse proxy. Cloudflare may collect standard edge-traffic metadata. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Embedded third-party resources

Public pages fetch web fonts from fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com. Font requests expose standard HTTP metadata (IP, user agent) to Google. We plan to self-host fonts in a future release to remove this dependency.

Your rights

If you are in the EU / UK / California and want to request deletion of any access-log entry attributable to you, or otherwise exercise data-subject rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy
