Am I Tracked?exists to show how much a website can learn about you. It would be hypocritical to quietly collect that same data — so it doesn't. This page explains exactly what happens when you use it.
The privacy test reads signals your browser already exposes — your user agent, screen size, timezone, language, fonts, GPU, connected hardware, battery, a canvas/audio fingerprint, and more. All of this is read and displayed locally, on your device. None of it is transmitted to a server we control, and none of it is saved.
Anything that requires your permission — precise location, camera, microphone, clipboard, or notifications — is requested explicitly and only when you choose to grant it. Denying is always fine; the test simply notes what would have been available.
To turn your IP address into an approximate city and ISP, your browser makes a single lookup to a third-party geolocation service (ipwho.is). That request is made directly from your browser to that provider and is subject to their privacy policy. We do not receive, log, or store the result.
To understand how many people visit, we use privacy-respecting, anonymous analytics (PostHog, hosted in the EU). This is configured to be:
The result is an aggregate visit count. We can see that traffic happened; we cannot see who you are.
This site sets no tracking cookies. To demonstrate how fingerprinting recognises you without cookies, the test stores a single fingerprint hash and a visit counter in your browser's own localStorage. This value never leaves your device, is not sent to any server, and you can clear it any time by clearing site data for this page. On a repeat visit it lets the test show "I recognised you" — exactly the technique real trackers use.
We link to privacy tools such as VPNs, password managers, and content blockers. Some of these may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a small commission if you sign up — at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools that genuinely reduce tracking. Once you follow an outbound link, the destination site's own privacy policy applies.
If this policy changes, the date below will be updated. Questions about how the site works? The entire thing is open about its methods — every signal it reads is shown to you as it reads it.
