What the site processes, and why

• Showing the pages. As with any website, your browser sends your IP address to the server to receive the pages. It is used to answer you, then forgotten. No access log is kept.
• Browser scan. It runs in your browser, only when you press the button. The characteristics it reads (screen, fonts, graphics card and so on) are used only to show you the result, at your request. Nothing is sent to the server and nothing is kept.
• Connection check. Only when you press the button. quidam's server reads your connection's IP address, looks it up in its own copy of public databases (DB-IP Lite, the Tor exit list, the iCloud Private Relay ranges), sends you the result and forgets it. The site's STUN server likewise sends back the address and port it sees. No third party is contacted about you.
• Abuse protection. To stop one address from flooding the service, the server keeps your IP address and a counter in memory for one minute, then deletes them. They are never written to disk.
• Local network. Your browser contacts your router directly; nothing reaches quidam's server.
• Ticked fixes. They stay in the tab's memory and vanish when you close it.

Legal basis

Legitimate interest (GDPR article 6(1)(f)): giving you the check you ask for, and keeping the service available and secure. Reading your device's characteristics is strictly necessary for the service you expressly request by pressing the button (French Data Protection Act, article 82, implementing the ePrivacy directive): no consent or cookie banner is needed, and nothing is read before you click.

Recipients and location

Nobody but the publisher has access to this data. The host, Hetzner Online GmbH, runs the server on the publisher's behalf under a data processing agreement (GDPR article 28). The server is in Germany (European Union). No data is transferred outside the European Union.

Retention

One minute, in memory, for abuse protection. Nothing else is kept.

Your rights

You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection (GDPR articles 15 to 21). As nothing is kept, there is usually nothing to give you, but you can write to contact@quidam.info. You can also complain to the CNIL (the French data protection authority) or to the data protection authority of your own country.

No automated decision with legal effects is made about you.
