Frequently asked questions
- Is my input uploaded?
- No. The website version runs locally. Input is sent only when you intentionally use the authenticated API.
- Does this use a paid third-party API?
- No. The result is calculated from local logic or a bundled reference dataset.
- Should I independently verify the output?
- Yes. Heuristic, security, legal and reference results should be checked against the authoritative source before important use.
