1. Introduction

Global Kernel ("we," "our," or "us") operates ThemeDetectorTool.com (the "Tool"), a free online service that analyzes websites to identify their content management system, theme, and platform information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our service.

By using ThemeDetectorTool, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Tool.

Our company website is located at https://globalkernel.com.

2. Information We Collect

ThemeDetectorTool is designed to require minimal personal information. We do not require user registration, account creation, or email verification to use the Tool. The information we collect falls into the following categories:

2.1 Website URLs Submitted for Scanning

When you use ThemeDetectorTool, you submit a website URL for analysis. This URL is processed by our detection engine to retrieve publicly accessible information about the website's platform, theme, and technology stack. We temporarily store:

• The URL you submitted
• The detection results (platform, theme name, theme author, version, confidence score)
• Basic metadata about the scan (timestamp, detection method)

Important: ThemeDetectorTool only processes information that is already publicly accessible on the internet. We do not access password-protected areas, private content, or non-public website data.

2.2 Contact Form Data

If you contact us through our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The subject and content of your message

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not used for marketing purposes.

ThemeDetectorTool uses essential cookies to maintain session state and enable core functionality. These cookies are necessary for the Tool to operate properly, including:

• Session Cookies: Used to maintain your session state during scanning and to display scan results.
• CSRF Token Cookies: Used to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks.

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or any form of behavioral tracking. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, but this may affect the functionality of the Tool.

This data is aggregated and anonymized. It cannot be used to identify individual users personally.

4.1 Google Analytics

Like most web servers, our hosting provider (Hostinger) automatically collects and stores certain information in server log files. This may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages accessed and timestamps

This information is used for server administration, security monitoring, and diagnosing technical issues. Log data is retained for a limited period and then automatically deleted.

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies for more information.
