AntiCloneBot finds copies of online shops (fake shops that copy a real store's products, texts and images) for the owners of the copied shops.
Each newly registered website once: robots.txt, the homepage and, for Shopify stores, the first page of the public product list (/products.json). Some websites get a second or third look after 6 hours and after 3 days. Suspected copies of a protected shop are photographed once as evidence.
No login, no forms, no orders, no payment data, no vulnerability tests. It honors robots.txt and slows down when a website answers 429.
The User-Agent contains AntiCloneBot. Requests are signed with Web Bot Auth; public keys: https://anticlone.de/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory.

Kept: image file names, text fingerprints and product titles; contact details of shops only as keyed hashes. Nothing about visitors. Stored in the European Union, deleted after 180 days.
