# [Rebilder crawler policy](https://rebilder.com/bots)

> How Rebilder’s own scanner behaves, and how to opt out: it identifies as rebilder-ars/0.2 on every request, obeys robots.txt, follows a per-site request budget, and never impersonates another crawler.

## Opting out

Disallow the user agent rebilder-ars in robots.txt and the scanner will not fetch the site. Removal from any published surface is separate, free, and permanent — see the readable-web index page.
