On a separate machine
Links are opened on a machine kept apart from your data. It has no access to the database.
Privacy & safety
People bring us the things they’re worried about. We take that seriously.
A scam check can involve private messages, so how we handle data matters more than any feature. This page says what we plan to store, what we won’t do and where things stand. Scamory isn’t live yet.
What we store
What we store, and what we don’t.
These are the defaults we’re building to for the first version.
What we plan to store
- The result of a check: the warning signs, the reasons and the next steps. Kept for 30 days by default.
- What you bring to check, such as a link, message, email or screenshot. Kept for up to 24 hours, while we analyse it.
- Your account details and which family you belong to.
- What you’ve chosen to share, and with whom.
What we won’t do
- Read your private messages or look into your inbox. We only see what you bring.
- Show your checks to family, unless you choose to share a result.
- Send what you bring to outside AI or reputation services in the first version.
- Share what you bring with other users.
- Put message text, passwords or full sensitive links in our logs.
These are planned defaults, not a live service. They may change before launch. We’ll update this page when they do. Backups are cleared on their own schedule, and we’ll say how long that takes.
Opening links safely
How we look at a suspicious link.
Part of a check is finding out where a link really goes. We plan to do it carefully.
Look, don’t touch
We don’t run scripts, open attachments, fill in forms or log in anywhere. Only public web addresses are followed.
A short memory
Raw input is kept for at most 24 hours and results for 30 days by default. You’ll also be able to delete things sooner.
Today
What this website does right now.
There is no checker yet. There’s this site and the waitlist.
The waitlist stores your email, your language and when you signed up. It’s used only to tell you when early access opens. No newsletters, no analytics, no ad trackers.
