Privacy Policy
We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and maintaining transparency about our data practices.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Scamy ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website security services. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and maintaining transparency about our data practices.
Information Collection
Our service collects minimal information necessary to provide website security verification:
- • Website domains that you submit for security analysis
- • URL you submit or the active tab URL when you click the extension
- • User interactions with security warnings
- • Optional name and email if you contact us or report a scam
Data Usage
The information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- • To verify the security status of websites you wish to check
- • To improve our threat detection accuracy
- • To maintain and enhance our security database
- • To provide you with relevant security notifications
Data Protection
We implement the following data protection measures:
- • All user preferences are stored locally on your device
- • Security check results are not permanently stored
- • The extension uses the Chrome “activeTab” permission. This lets it read only the URL of the tab you click on when using the extension. We do not collect or retain your browsing history.
- • Website domains are processed solely for security verification

Our commitment to your privacy includes strict controls on data collecting and sharing:

We do not sell any data to any third parties.
