Your privacy

ScamCheck is a free student project that helps older adults spot scam messages. Here is exactly what we keep.

What we keep

• Your first name and the site code you signed up with (or your phone number, if you signed in by text).
• Your trusted contact's name and email address or phone number, so we can alert them.
• For each check: the result, the type of scam, and the first 100 characters of pasted text so you can see your history.

What we don't keep

• Screenshots. They are read once to check them, then thrown away.
• The full text of your messages.

Who sees it

• Messages are checked by Claude, an AI made by Anthropic. Anthropic does not use these messages to train its AI.
• Your trusted contact only learns the type of scam, never the message itself.
• We never sell your information and never show ads.

Your choices

• You can delete your whole history at any time from "My past checks".
• Your trusted contact can stop alerts at any time with the link in our emails (or by replying STOP to a text).
