How Private Am I?

How Private Am I? is a free browser privacy analysis tool. It interprets User-Agent strings, HTTP headers, IP geolocation, and JavaScript signals (including fingerprint probes) to show what websites can infer about your browser and device, plus a privacy score from 0 to 100.

When you run an analysis, the service processes signals your browser sends automatically (User-Agent, headers, IP for local geolocation) and optional JavaScript data (screen, language, timezone, canvas/WebGL/audio/font probes). Full results are returned to your browser and are not stored as a personal profile. Anonymized privacy scores may be kept for aggregate comparison. Server logs may record IP, path, and request metadata for operations.

The privacy score is a number from 0 to 100 where a higher score means better privacy. It weights every inference card from your analysis (exposure minus protections, entropy, and cross-signal consistency). The Overview also shows estimated fingerprint entropy in bits and core probe coverage.

Yes. Trackers can combine canvas, WebGL, audio, fonts, screen size, timezone, and other signals to recognize a browser even without cookies. This tool runs similar probes locally so you can see what succeeded during your visit.

Your raw IP is not shown in the analysis report. It is used locally on the server for approximate geolocation (MaxMind GeoLite2). It may appear in operational request logs depending on how the operator configured logging.

After a full analysis, your anonymized privacy score and probe richness (0–8 succeeded probe classes) may be compared to a rolling window of the last 1,000 visits (score, exposure band, browser family, country code, and richness only — no raw fingerprints). The UI notes if demo samples were seeded by the operator.

Run a full analysis, then refresh the page once more in the same tab. The Overview compares your demo fingerprint hash to the previous run using sessionStorage on your device only. A stable hash means trackers could recognize you without cookies; a changed hash may indicate randomization or blocked probes.

No. Private windows clear cookies when you close them, but canvas, WebGL, audio, font, and hardware signals work the same. See our private browsing guide for limits.

A VPN hides your IP from websites and your ISP, but it does not change browser fingerprints. See the VPN guide and run the test with VPN on and off.

Cover Your Tracks focuses on uniqueness research from EFF. We add a 0–100 privacy score, attributed inferences, improvement checklist, and visitor benchmark. See /compare/cover-your-tracks for a feature matrix.

The Overview shows a truncated demo hash built from coarse signal parts (not a full fingerprint export). Refresh twice in the same tab to see if it stays stable — a stable hash is easier for trackers to reuse.

The score weights every inference card: exposure adds points, active protections subtract, and consistency checks adjust the result. Open the Improve tab for prioritized actions with estimated gains.

Full results are returned to your browser and are not saved as a personal profile. Anonymized scores may enter the rolling benchmark. See /privacy for logging and retention details.

Firefox, Brave, and Tor Browser offer the strongest anti-fingerprinting options. Safari limits some APIs by default. Chrome and Edge rely more on settings and extensions. See our browser landing pages.

Client Hints (Sec-CH-UA and related headers) let Chromium browsers send structured version and platform data instead of only the User-Agent string. See the Client Hints guide.
