Privacy Policy

Summary

ScamLens AI is designed with privacy as a core principle. All analysis happens locally in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any content you paste into the tool.

What We Don't Collect

• Messages or URLs you analyze: All content you paste into ScamLens is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to our servers or any third party.
• Personal information: We do not require or collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal identifiers.
• Cookies: ScamLens does not use cookies or browser storage to track you.
• Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar tracking tools.
• IP addresses: Since no data is transmitted, we do not log IP addresses or other connection metadata.

How ScamLens Works

When you paste a message or URL into ScamLens:

1. The content remains in your browser's memory.
2. Our JavaScript-based detection engine analyzes it using predefined pattern matching rules.
3. Results are displayed to you immediately.
4. Nothing is transmitted over the network.

You can verify this by opening your browser's Developer Tools (F12), going to the Network tab, and observing that no requests are made when you analyze content.

Third-Party Services

ScamLens does not integrate with any third-party services that could access your data. The website is hosted on a standard web server, but the hosting provider has no access to the content you analyze because it never leaves your device.

Browser Permissions

ScamLens does not request or require any special browser permissions. It operates using only standard web technologies available to all websites (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

Data Retention

Since we don't collect data, there is nothing to retain or delete. When you close the browser tab, any content you pasted is cleared from memory.

Children's Privacy

ScamLens does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Because no data is collected at all, the service can be used by anyone without privacy concerns.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of ScamLens after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Open Source

ScamLens is an open-source project. You can review the code to verify our privacy claims by visiting our GitHub repository.
