Your file is never uploaded
The inspector reads the file you choose inside your browser tab. The text is parsed in memory and discarded when you close or reload the page.
What happens to your file
When you select a file, the browser exposes its text to the page through the File API. The page parses it and displays the results. There is no request carrying the file, no server-side parser and no stored copy. Text you paste stays in the form field and in the page's memory.
What the site itself collects
One third-party script loads on every page: Google Tag Manager, container
GTM-W7MJJP6T, installed to measure which pages are read and how they are
reached. It may set cookies and send usage data to Google, including the page address,
approximate location derived from your IP address, and basic browser details. It never
receives the contents of a file you open, because that text is not sent anywhere.
No advertising tags are installed. Server logs kept by the host record the pages requested, not the contents of any file.
What you can control
Because the file never leaves your device, the main choice you have is what you paste or open. Use a copy of a file rather than the original if you would rather keep the source untouched. Close the tab when you are finished; the parsed results are not kept after that. Clearing your browser's cache or history does not affect the inspector, because it stores nothing between visits.
Measurement is separate from the inspector and can be blocked without affecting it: a content blocker, or a browser setting that blocks third-party requests and tracking scripts, stops Google Tag Manager from loading, and the page still works.
How this page may change
If the site starts to collect anything beyond the measurement described above, such as a contact form, this page will say so before the change and describe what is collected. The review date at the foot of this page shows when the text was last checked against how the inspector actually works.
What this page does not promise
The inspector checks structure only. It does not test whether a stream is live, and it does not decide whether any stream is legal to watch or whether you have the right to use the addresses in a file.
