Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-02-01

Who we are

"Kommento," "we," "us," or "our" refers to the Kommento service, including our search experience, APIs, and automated website scanning systems.

Information we collect from users

None.

We do not require user accounts. We do not ask for names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details to use the public service.

Information processed automatically (minimal and transient)

Like all web services, our servers must temporarily process limited technical information to deliver content and protect the service. This may include:

• IP address and network routing information required to deliver responses
• Basic request metadata (timestamp, requested path, response status)

This information is used solely for operational and security purposes (reliability, abuse prevention, debugging) and is not used to identify or profile users.

Cookies and tracking

We do not use third-party advertising trackers, analytics trackers, or behavioral profiling technologies.

If we ever use strictly necessary cookies (for example, to remember a basic interface preference), they will be:

• Non-identifying
• Not used for cross-site tracking
• Not sold or shared

Search queries

Search requests must be processed to return results, but we do not build personal search histories or user profiles.

Our crawler and indexed content

Kommento operates automated crawlers that analyze publicly accessible web pages to generate security, privacy, accessibility, and trust signals.

We may store copies of public website content (such as HTML snapshots) and derived metadata and scores. This information concerns websites, not people using Kommento.

Respecting site instructions

Our crawlers are designed to operate conservatively. We aim to respect robots.txt, relevant HTML meta directives, and standard web controls. Our crawler user agent clearly identifies Kommento and provides contact information.

Website operator opt-out

If you operate a website and do not want it crawled or indexed by Kommento, you have multiple options:

• robots.txt - Disallow our crawler using standard robots directives.
• HTML directives - Use meta tags such as noindex, nofollow, or related controls.
• Email request - Contact us at abuse@kommento.app with the domain and details of your request.

Prefer a quick link? Use the Website Operator Opt-Out page.

We aim to process legitimate opt-out requests in a reasonable timeframe. Opt-out requests are handled for crawling and indexing purposes only and do not require you to share personal information beyond what is necessary to identify the site.

Sharing of information

We do not sell personal data.

Because we do not collect personal data for advertising or profiling, there is generally nothing to sell or share. Limited information may be processed by infrastructure providers strictly to operate the service, or disclosed if required by law.

Children's privacy

Kommento does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not collect personal user data, this risk is minimized by design.

International users

Kommento may be accessed globally. Requests may be processed where our infrastructure is located, but the same privacy-first principles apply everywhere.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect our systems and the data we do store. Our privacy posture is built around a simple principle: the best way to protect personal data is not to collect it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent changes.

For abuse reports or crawler-related opt-out requests, contact abuse@kommento.app.

Kommento's privacy posture aligns with modern privacy-first search and scanning services that minimize data collection, avoid user tracking, and provide clear opt-out mechanisms.
