This site asks one question about fruit and counts the answers. It is free to use, and there is nothing here to buy, sign up for, or subscribe to.
One line: which fruit, which day, and — if it can be worked out at all — which country and continent the tap came from. Those add up into the totals on the front page. The site also counts how many times the page was opened each day, as a single number for everyone together.
There are no accounts here, so there is no name, email address or profile to attach anything to. No cookies are set, and there is no analytics service, advertising network or third-party script on the page — so nothing follows you to other sites, and nothing about your visit is shared with anyone else.
What the site can tell is that several taps on the same day came from the same internet connection — that is exactly how the daily limit works, and it is described below. It cannot tell who that is, cannot recognise you from one day to the next, and has no way to connect your taps to anything else about you.
To stop a single person — or a bored robot — recording a thousand fruits a day, the server turns your internet address into a scrambled, one-way code using a secret key, and stores only that code alongside the tap. Your actual address is not saved in the database. The code cannot be turned back into an address, and it is used for one thing: counting up to ten.
Because the same address produces the same code, taps made from one connection on one day sit together in the records — that is what makes the limit possible. The code is not readable as an address, is not shown anywhere, and is not matched against anything else.
Like almost every website, the web server keeps short-lived technical logs of requests it receives, which include the connecting address. These exist so the site can be kept running and defended from abuse. They rotate and are overwritten, and they are not used to build any profile of visitors.
This site is free, and nobody involved in running it will contact you asking for payment, card details, bank details or a donation. There is no membership, no prize, no giveaway, no token or coin, and no support agent.
If a message, email, advert or call claims otherwise — even using this site's name or look, or a web address that resembles it — treat it as a scam. Do not pay and do not share financial details. The only address this site lives at is https://eatafruit.org.
This page describes how the site works today. If that changes, this page will be updated to match.
