Privacy

WAYSCloud Fonts is built on a privacy-first principle: no third-party trackers, no advertising networks, no data sent to infrastructure we don't control. This page describes exactly what we do collect and why.

What we collect

We count page views on fonts.wayscloud.eu using Matomo, self-hosted on our own infrastructure at metrics.wayscloud.net. No data leaves our infrastructure.

For each page view we record:

• Which page was visited and when
• Browser type and operating system (from the User-Agent header)
• Referring page, if your browser sends one
• Approximate country (from IP address — the IP itself is not stored)

That is the complete list. Nothing else is collected.

Inspect feature (/inspect)

When you paste a URL into the inspect tool, our backend (running at fonts.wayscloud.eu, not a third party) fetches that URL once, parses the HTML for font references, and returns the result to your browser. The fetched page is processed in memory and discarded immediately.

The inspector also fetches a small number of stylesheets that the page directly links to — up to 10 files, max 1 MB each, max one level of @import. All fetches run in memory and are discarded after parsing. We never store the URL, the page content, or stylesheet content.

The tool offers two inspection modes with different data-flow implications:

• Page mode (default): only the URL you enter is fetched. One page, one request.
• Site-sample mode: the URL you enter and up to 4 additional pages from the same site are fetched. Candidate pages are discovered from the site's sitemap.xml (if present) or from internal links found in the entry page's HTML. The fetch is strictly bounded: same origin only (identical scheme, host, and port), at most 5 pages total, at most 10 CSS files shared across all pages, and a 30-second total wall-clock budget. If the site's robots.txt contains a broad Disallow: / for User-agent: *, only the entered URL is fetched.

In both modes, pages are parsed in memory and structured results are returned. Raw HTML and CSS are discarded immediately after parsing — they are never written to disk or stored.

We do not:

• Store the URL or the page content
• Log successful inspections
• Re-fetch the URL at a later point

We may log error cases briefly — timeouts, oversized pages, refused URLs — for operational debugging. These logs rotate and are not joined with any user identifier.

What we don't collect

• No third-party trackers of any kind
• No Google Analytics, no advertising networks, no social pixels
• No fingerprinting
• No font-usage telemetry from sites that embed our fonts — we don't run a font-serving API yet, and when we do, it will not include analytics
• No account data, email addresses, or personal information — we don't have user accounts

Why

We want to know which pages are useful and which aren't, so we can spend our time improving the catalog rather than guessing. That's the only reason.

Do Not Track

If you'd rather not be counted, your browser's Do Not Track (DNT) setting is honored by Matomo by default. Enable DNT in your browser and no tracking data will be recorded for your visits.
