2. Technical Standards (RFC 9309)

HumangoBot is a "Polite Crawler". We prioritize the server stability of the audited websites over the speed of our indexing.

  • REP

    Robots Exclusion Protocol

    Full adherence to robots.txt. We strictly avoid paths marked as Disallow for our agent or *.

  • DELAY

    Crawl-Delay & Backoff

    We support Crawl-delay. In its absence, we maintain a minimum of 5 seconds between requests. We respect Retry-After headers with exponential backoff.

  • DNT

    Privacy Headers (DNT/GPC)

    Every request transmits DNT: 1 (Do Not Track) and Sec-GPC: 1 headers, signaling our intent not to track or fingerprint users.

3. Data Protection & Ethics (GDPR)

Stateless Operation

No cookie storage or session persistence. Each page crawl starts with a clean incognito context. No fingerprinting is performed.

Data Minimization

Our system is hard-coded to ignore and redact emails, phone numbers, and PII found in page source. We only collect technical metadata.

Legal Basis (Art. 6(1)(f))

Audits are conducted under Legitimate Interest. This processing is necessary for the security monitoring of the digital ecosystem.

Retention Policy

Audit evidence (screenshots/logs) is stored for 365 days for verification purposes and automatically deleted thereafter.
