How We Protect Your Trust
Complete transparency about how our analysis works, what we can and cannot verify, and how your data is handled.
What We Promise, Plainly
Trust is earned through consistent, verifiable behavior — not marketing language.
No Accounts, No Ad Trackers
You never need to sign up. We do not load Google Analytics or advertising pixels.
No User Database
We do not keep a database of your identity. Content is processed for analysis; a short in-memory cache and this-tab result copy may exist.
Deterministic Scoring
The risk score comes from a fixed, auditable pipeline — not from an AI "guesstimate".
Transparent Evidence
Every verdict shows the specific findings behind it with confidence levels.
Free, No Paywalls
Protection should never depend on who can afford it. Scam Check is free for everyone.
We Learn & Improve
As new scam patterns emerge, we update detection and publish what changed.
How Analysis Works
Clear About Our Scope — On Purpose
We would rather tell you exactly what we can and cannot do than invent certainty. That transparency is a feature, not a weakness — it is why you can trust the answer you get.
What We Verify
- ✓Domain structure, high-risk TLDs, and brand lookalikes.
- ✓Whether the submitted URL uses HTTPS — not a live certificate audit.
- ✓Content patterns: urgency language, authority impersonation, credential harvesting.
- ✓Live reputation lookups when the online API is available.
- ✓Shared hosting is recorded as a fact, not as a risk score.
What We Cannot Verify
- ✕Real-time intent of the person who sent the message.
- ✕Identity of the sender — we analyze content, not people.
- ✕Brand-new zero-day threats that have never been documented.
- ✕Internal backend systems or private databases of companies.
- ✕Whether a specific individual will or will not fall victim.
Privacy
We do not create accounts or advertising profiles. Submitted content is processed to produce your result and may be sent to Groq or Google Gemini for online analysis. Recent text scans may be cached in server memory for about 15 minutes. Your last result stays in this browser tab until you clear it or close the tab.
AI + Human Logic, Not AI Guesses
AI helps read and describe content, but it never issues the verdict. The final risk score is computed by a deterministic scoring pipeline from concrete evidence — so the answer is reproducible and auditable, not an AI "guesstimate." We pair machine speed with transparent, checkable logic.
Threat Intelligence
The Intelligence page lists curated public advisories (CERT-In, FBI IC3, Europol EC3, NCSC, GASA). It is not a live outbreak feed. Online scans may also query reputation lookups when those services respond.
Responsible Use
Scam Check is a decision-support tool. Always verify critical decisions independently through official channels. For emergencies, contact your bank and law enforcement — do not rely solely on automated analysis.
