Our Commitment to Your Privacy

ScamCheck.uk is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe you should be able to check suspicious emails without worrying about your data.

Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit your email content.

All analysis happens entirely in your browser. The text you paste is processed locally on your device and is never sent to our servers or any third party.

How the Tool Works

  • You paste email text into the tool
  • The text is analyzed locally in your browser using JavaScript
  • Results are displayed to you immediately
  • No data leaves your device

Analytics & Advertising

We may use third-party services for:

  • Google AdSense: To display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
  • Google Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymous data such as pages visited and time spent on site.

Cookies

This site may use cookies for:

  • Remembering your preferences
  • Serving relevant advertisements (via Google AdSense)
  • Anonymous analytics (via Google Analytics)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.

Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Data Retention

Since we do not collect or store your email content, there is no data retention to worry about. Your pasted text is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab or click "Clear".

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Security

We use HTTPS encryption to protect your connection to our site. However, since all analysis is performed locally in your browser, your email content never traverses the internet.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

Your Rights

Under GDPR and other data protection laws, you have the right to:

  • Access any personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to processing of your data
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Since we do not collect personal data beyond anonymous analytics, these rights are largely moot, but we're committed to transparency.
