We built anybrowse to be straightforward: a web scraping API with no unnecessary data collection. anybrowse is operated by Heimat LLC, operating as anybrowse. Here is exactly what we collect, what we do with it, and your rights.

1. What we collect

2. How we use your data

• Service operation: Request logs are used to enforce rate limits, detect abuse, and debug issues.
• Abuse prevention: Hashed IPs and geolocation data help us identify and block malicious usage patterns.
• Analytics: We use aggregated, anonymized data to understand usage trends and improve the product.
• Research and licensing: Aggregated, anonymized data (never individual or identifiable records) may be licensed to third parties for research or commercial purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or trade individually identifiable data.

3. Data retention

• Request logs: Retained for 90 days, then deleted.
• Aggregated / anonymized data: Retained indefinitely. This data cannot be traced back to you.
• Email addresses: Retained for as long as your account is active. Deleted upon request.

4. Third-party services

We use the following third parties to operate this service:

• Stripe (stripe.com/privacy) — processes Pro subscription payments. We never see your card details.
• BrowserCash — provides browser infrastructure for rendering web pages. Target URLs may be passed to their infrastructure to process your requests.
• ip-api.com (ip-api.com) — used to resolve geographic location (country, city, organization) from your IP address. No personal data is stored by us from this lookup.

5. Cookies and tracking

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics (like Google Analytics). The only storage we use client-side is localStorage to optionally save your email for the demo widget on our landing page.
