🎯 What This Tool Is

This static privacy education tool demonstrates exactly what information your browser reveals when you visit websites. It's a client-side educational platform that provides complete transparency about browser data collection.

                    🔍 Browser Detection: Shows your user agent, screen resolution, timezone, and browser capabilities
                

                    📊 Educational Purpose: Learn what data websites can collect without storing anything on servers
                

                    🛡️ Privacy Focused: All data stays in your browser - nothing is sent to our servers
                

                    ⚡ Real-Time: See live browser fingerprinting and tracking techniques in action
                

This tool helps you understand browser-based data collection and make informed privacy decisions.

📊 What Data Can Browsers Reveal?

Every time you visit a website, your browser automatically shares information. This demonstration shows you exactly what's available through standard web APIs - no special permissions required.

💻 Device & Browser

Operating system, browser type, version, screen resolution, color depth, device capabilities

🕐 Environment

Timezone, language preferences, available fonts, installed plugins

🔧 Advanced Features

🌐 Optional External

With consent: Public IP address, location data, ISP information (requires external requests)

🔧 How It Works

This is a static HTML/CSS/JavaScript application that runs entirely in your browser:

Client-Side Technology

Pure JavaScript with no frameworks or dependencies
Modular collectors for different consent levels
Real-time browser API data collection

⚖️ Data Collection Notice

Local Collection Only: This tool collects browser data for educational demonstration, but all information stays in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or save any data to servers.

Optional External Features: Some advanced demonstrations (IP detection, location lookup) require your explicit consent to make requests to third-party educational services. These are clearly marked and require separate permission.

Educational Purpose: This tool demonstrates the same data collection patterns used by commercial websites, but in a transparent, privacy-respecting way.

🛠️ Open Source & Development

This privacy education tool was developed to increase awareness about browser-based tracking and data collection practices. The codebase demonstrates modern web development practices while maintaining strict privacy principles.

Development involved comprehensive security auditing, code review processes, and accessibility considerations to ensure the tool serves its educational purpose effectively.
