Privacy

Last updated Nov 13, 2026

Tangerine Index has no accounts. This page lists what the site records when you use it and who else handles your requests.

What we record

• For each search, MCP tool call, and API call: which tool, the site language, how many results came back, the top match scores, and whether a Korean query was translated. The search words are left out.
• For each visit that arrives from another site or from a link opened directly: the type of page, its language, the referring site's domain, whether the browser looks like a bot, the campaign name in the link (utm_source) when it is one we use for our own posts, and the network (ASN number and name) and country that Cloudflare reports for the visit.
• To count how many different people visit in a day, each of these visits also carries a 16-character code made from the IP address and browser details together with a random value that changes every day. The day's random value is deleted the next day, so codes from different days cannot be linked and the IP address cannot be worked out from a code. These records are kept in Cloudflare Analytics Engine for 3 months. They contain no IP address, cookie, or full page address.

What we do not record

• We keep no request logs. Your IP address, search words, and browser details are not written to our logs or database.
• Cloudflare caches search result pages for up to an hour under the page address, which includes the search words. The cache holds the page alone, with nothing about who searched.
• To limit how often MCP and API calls can be made, Cloudflare counts requests per IP address. The count is used for one minute and is not kept.

Who else handles your requests

• Cloudflare hosts the site and handles every request, including your IP address, under the Cloudflare privacy policy. Search words are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI to find matches by meaning, and Korean searches are translated to English there.
• Product images and logos load directly from where they are hosted, such as GitHub and the products' own sites. Those sites receive your IP address and browser details when an image loads. The browser is asked not to tell them which page you are on.
• When you use the MCP server from an AI assistant, the company running the assistant sends us the tool arguments, such as the search words. We receive nothing else from the conversation.
