You have already told us quite a bit.
Everything below came from this visit.
We don’t keep any of this. Your file was put together inside your own browser, and only you can see it. None of it gets sent to us or saved on our end, and it’s gone when you hit Erase or clear your browser data. The one exception: Google Analytics and Cloudflare log ordinary visit stats (pages viewed, rough location, device type), same as they do on most websites.
How to give away less
Your location. Every site can see your IP address, and that gives away your city. A VPN or iCloud Private Relay (part of iCloud+) is the only real fix for that. For precise location, say no when a site asks, and check which sites you’ve already allowed: in Safari it’s Settings → Websites → Location, in Chrome it’s Settings → Privacy and security → Site settings → Location.
Camera, microphone, and motion. Pick “allow this time” instead of “always” when you’re given the choice. On Android, Chrome hands motion sensors to every site unless you turn them off under Settings → Site settings → Motion sensors.
Your device names. Your iPhone, iPad, and AirPods are probably named after you, and any site you give camera or microphone access can read those names. Rename them: on iPhone it’s Settings → General → About → Name, and AirPods are renamed in Bluetooth settings.
Autofill. Look at what a form is about to fill in before you accept it. If you don’t use contact autofill, turn it off: Safari → Settings → AutoFill, or Chrome → Settings → Autofill and passwords.
What you type. A work email tells a site where you work, and a phone number tells it where you’re from. When a form doesn’t need the real thing, use a masked address like Hide My Email or Firefox Relay.
Extensions. Some extensions announce themselves to every page you open. Remove the ones you don’t use.
Fingerprinting. Your screen, fonts, graphics chip, and settings add up to an ID that follows you, even into a private window. Safari’s advanced tracking and fingerprinting protection (Settings → Advanced, set to all browsing), Firefox’s Strict tracking protection, and Brave all make that harder.
Trackers. A content blocker like uBlock Origin stops most analytics scripts, including the Google Analytics on this site. Global Privacy Control asks sites not to sell or share your data. Not every site listens, but it costs you nothing.
Cleaning up. Clear a site’s data when you’re done with it. Here, Erase does that for you.
