Frequently Asked Questions
Does PlatPhorm Fingerprint track me across sites?
No. Phase 1 is local-first and educational. Browser collection starts from visible user action, and public flows do not create covert tracking beacons.
What gets sent to the server?
Nothing is sent during local inspection. The Submit Redacted action can send a bounded redacted summary with explicit consent; raw high-entropy component details are not exposed publicly.
Are headless or bot results certain?
No. The app reports deterministic indicators and confidence, not personal identity or certainty. Findings use possible or detected-indicator language.
Why does Stats sometimes show zero values?
Stats are aggregate and privacy-safe. If backend persistence is unavailable, the app shows a degraded state instead of fake counts.
When is PLATPHORM_API_KEY needed?
Public-safe local analysis and discovery are open by default. PLATPHORM_API_KEY is scaffolded for future protected persistence, Atlas correlation, webhooks, reports, sync, and admin actions.
