Your tab. Your data.
iWeb has no accounts, no analytics and no ads. Here is exactly what stays on your device and what goes online.
What stays on your device
Everything you create or choose: your name, notes, dock sites, wallpapers, music library and playlists, watchlist, currency pairs, fonts and settings. It is stored in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB and localStorage) and never uploaded by iWeb. Your local photos and music files are never sent anywhere.
What goes online, and why
iWeb only contacts these services for the features you use:
| Feature | Service | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Weather | ipapi.co | Your IP address (to estimate your city), when no city is set |
| Weather | api.met.no | Approximate coordinates of your city |
| Weather | nominatim.openstreetmap.org, api.bigdatacloud.net | The city you search for, or coordinates to name your location |
| Weather icons | cdn.jsdelivr.net | Standard file requests |
| Currency rates | open.er-api.com, api.frankfurter.dev | The currency codes you convert between |
| Gold & silver (fallback) | cdn.jsdelivr.net | Standard file requests |
| Markets & Unsplash | iweb-two.vercel.app (iWeb’s own proxy to Yahoo Finance and the Unsplash API) | Symbols, chart ranges, searches and photo topics you choose |
| Unsplash photos | images.unsplash.com | Image requests for the photos you view |
| Site icons | Google and DuckDuckGo favicon services | The domain of each site in your dock and search results |
| Spotlight | Google (web search, Maps tab) | Your query, only when you open a web search or the Maps tab |
| App logo | ik.imagekit.io | Standard file request |
| Updates | api.github.com, github.com | A check for the latest release (about every 6 hours) and the update download |
Like any website, these services receive your IP address with each request. iWeb's own proxy runs on Vercel and keeps no logs of its own beyond Vercel's standard request logs.
What iWeb never does
- No account or sign-up.
- No analytics, tracking pixels or advertising.
- No selling or sharing of your data.
