Node403 is an interactive browser-based simulation that demonstrates authorization systems and HTTP 403 access denial behavior inside a stylized terminal interface.
This privacy policy explains what limited technical information may be processed when visiting the website and how that information is used.
When you access Node403, the server may temporarily resolve your public IP address in order to display it within the simulated terminal interface.
The IP address is obtained from the incoming HTTP request and returned to the browser via a minimal API endpoint. The value is used only for visual display within the simulation environment.
The IP address is not stored in a database, not linked to user identities and not used for profiling within the Node403 application itself.
For security and operational monitoring purposes, the Node403 server may store limited technical request information in server log files. This information may include the visitor IP address, timestamp, requested resource and browser user agent.
These logs are used exclusively for security monitoring, debugging and abuse prevention in order to maintain the stability and integrity of the website.
Log files are stored on the server and are automatically deleted after a maximum retention period of 30 days.
The information contained in these logs is not used for profiling, advertising or user identification and is not shared with third parties.
Node403 uses Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics about how visitors interact with the website and the interactive simulation.
Analytics data may include information such as pages visited, approximate geographic region, device type, browser information and interaction events inside the simulation interface.
This information is used only to understand how the demonstration site is used and to improve the project.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies in order to measure website traffic and visitor interactions.
These cookies are used only for aggregated statistics and are not used by the Node403 project for advertising or behavioral profiling.
The website uses the following external services:
Requests to these services may transmit technical information such as IP address and browser information to their respective providers.
Node403 is an experimental web demonstration designed to simulate authorization systems, network policies and HTTP 403 access denial behavior.
The website does not implement real authentication systems, user accounts or credential storage.
