Privacy, in plain English
Agent Ardvark is built to know as little about you as possible. This page says exactly what happens to data when you use it, in plain English, because that is the whole policy.
What we do not do
- No cookies. No analytics scripts. No advertising or tracking pixels of any kind.
- No accounts, and nothing you type is stored by us.
- The generator and the paste validator run entirely inside your browser. The details you enter and the files you paste never leave your device.
What happens when you check a domain
When you use "Investigate a site", your browser asks our server to fetch one public file
from the domain you entered: https://that-domain/.well-known/ai-catalog.json.
The domain name you typed is used for that single request and is not stored by us.
We only ever fetch that fixed, public address; the tool cannot be used to fetch anything else.
Infrastructure
The site is served by Cloudflare, which, like any host, processes visitor IP addresses transiently to deliver pages and protect against abuse (legitimate interest under UK GDPR and the EU GDPR). We have no analytics dashboards and do not profile visitors.
Case reports are provided as-is
Reports describe what our checker observed at the moment you ran it (HTTP status codes, validation results against the published ARD schema, v1.0). They are offered in good faith, without warranty, and are not professional advice. The ARD specification is young and evolving; always defer to the official spec where it differs.
Who runs this
Agent Ardvark is an independent free tool made in the UK. It is not affiliated with the
ARDS project, Google, Microsoft or Hugging Face. If anything on this page is out of date or
you have a privacy question, contact [email protected].
If this ever changes
If we ever add a feature that stores personal data (for example an email-alert service), this page will change before that feature ships, and the feature will explain itself at the point you use it. The date below is the honest tell.
