Privacy and data use

Read this before you paste a scam message, screenshot, PDF, or payment detail.

Updated April 23, 2026 Plain-English summary
Do Not Paste

What you should not paste

  • Do not paste OTP, PIN, CVV, full card numbers, or live passwords.
  • Redact extra personal data that is not required to understand the scam pattern.
  • If a screenshot contains full banking details, crop or blur what is not needed first.
Before You Scan

What is read before analysis

  • When you upload a supported image, PDF, DOCX, or text-like file, the browser extracts text first where possible.
  • The analysis is based on the text that is extracted or pasted for the scan.
  • If you do not want a detail to leave your device, redact it before starting the scan.
What We Read

What is sent for analysis

  • The scan text you submit is sent to the analysis endpoint to generate risk guidance.
  • Emergency help keeps short active-session context so replies stay tied to the same case.
  • Use only the minimum text needed to explain the scam pattern or loss.
Temporary Use

What may stay briefly

  • Short-lived scan caching may be used to speed repeat checks for the same content.
  • Emergency help session data is used to keep replies tied to the same case while it is active.
  • This site is not designed around a permanent user account or long-term case vault.
External Services

Third-party analysis services

Scam analysis may use third-party AI or verification services. If a case contains sensitive details, share only what is required to understand the scam.
