Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

The short version: Loupe scans web pages entirely inside your browser. We don't run analytics, set tracking cookies, sell data, or require an account. The only time anything leaves your device is when you choose to use the optional AI explanations, or enter a Pro license key.

What runs locally

Loupe's accessibility scanning is powered by axe-core and runs 100% in your browser. The contents of the pages you scan are analysed on your own device and are never sent to us for scanning. Your scan results, saved reports, theme preference, and Pro status are stored in your browser's local storage — not on our servers.

Optional AI explanations

If you click "Explain in plain English" or "Suggest a fix," the details of that specific issue — including the relevant HTML snippet of the failing element — are sent to our server and on to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate the response. This data is used only to produce that explanation; we do not store it, and Anthropic does not use API data to train its models. The rest of the page is never sent. If a page contains sensitive information, simply don't use the AI feature on it.

License verification

If you purchase Pro and enter a license key, that key is sent to our server to verify it with our payment provider, Payhip. Payments and billing are handled entirely by Payhip — we never see or store your card details. See Payhip's own privacy policy for how they handle payment data.

What we don't collect

No user accounts or logins.
No analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising cookies.
No selling or sharing of personal data — ever.
No collection of the websites you scan.

Third-party services

Loupe relies on a small number of services, used only as described above: Anthropic (AI explanations), Payhip (payments & licensing), and Vercel (website hosting). Standard server logs at our host may temporarily record request metadata (such as IP address) for security and reliability.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
