Privacy
What a nodebench upload contains, what it doesn't, and how to get a result removed.
What doesn't
- IP addresses. They're not part of the upload, and the server doesn't log them.
- The city. Older versions of the script sent it, the server throws it away and never shows it.
- Hostnames, user names, file paths
- Cookies, trackers or analytics on this site
Exactly what you see
The upload is the same JSON that --json prints, so you can check it before sharing anything. With --no-share nothing leaves the server at all.
Who can see a result
Anyone who has the link. Result ids are random and not listed anywhere, unless you opt into the leaderboard with -L.
Rate limiting
To stop people filling the disk, the server counts uploads per IP address in memory for an hour. That counter is never written anywhere.
Removing a result
Send the result link to InstantNode through instantnode.eu/contact and it gets deleted. It helps if you can show the result is yours, for example by running the script again from the same server.
