No Email Storage

Emails are analyzed in memory and immediately discarded. We never save your email content to any database.

No Data Sharing

We don't sell, share, or transfer your data to any third parties. Your privacy is not our business model.

Minimal Tracking

We use privacy-friendly analytics to reach more people who need this service. No cookies, no fingerprinting.

What Happens When You Forward an Email

1. Email Received

Your forwarded email arrives at our server. The email content is loaded into temporary memory for analysis.

2. Analysis Performed

Our algorithms analyze the sender, links, and content. This happens entirely in memory — nothing is written to disk.

3. Response Sent

We send you the analysis results via email. Your original email address is only used to deliver this response.

4. Data Discarded

After the response is sent, all data is immediately purged from memory. We keep no record of your email or your identity.

What We Do Store

For our service to improve and protect future users, we store minimal, anonymized data:

Anonymous Pattern Hashes

One-way hashes of confirmed scam patterns. These cannot be reversed to reveal the original content.

Aggregate Statistics

Total emails analyzed, scam detection rates. No individual data, just numbers.

Email Content

Never stored. Analyzed in memory only.

Your Email Address

Never stored. Only used to send the response.

IP Addresses

Not logged or stored.

Personal Information

We don't collect any personal data.

Third-Party Services

We use minimal external services, all chosen for privacy:

Cloudflare Workers

Our code runs on Cloudflare's edge network. They process the email in memory but don't store content.

Threat Intelligence APIs

We check URLs against URLhaus and Spamhaus. Only the URLs are sent, not your email content.

Analytics & Advertising

To keep this service free and help more people protect themselves from scams, we run occasional advertising. This requires minimal, privacy-friendly analytics:

Umami Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused, open-source analytics tool. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't collect personal data, and doesn't track you across websites. We only see aggregated data like page views and referral sources to understand which content helps people most.

X (Twitter) Conversion Tracking

When we run ads on X to reach people who might benefit from this service, X's conversion pixel helps us understand if the ads are effective. We don't share your email data or personal information with X — only that a visit occurred.

We believe privacy and reach can coexist. These tools help us keep the lights on and extend our reach to vulnerable people who need email safety guidance — without compromising your privacy.
