At ScamSniper (https://scamsniper.org/), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.
1. Information We Collect
When you use ScamSniper, we may collect the following types of information:
- User Input Data: The text or images you upload for analysis to check whether the content is a potential scam.
- Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics and Plausible Analytics to collect aggregated website usage data, such as your browser type, device, pages visited, and general location (country-level).
- Authentication Data: If you create an account, log in, or comment on analyzed websites, we use Supabase Auth to handle your authentication securely.
- Functional Preferences: We store certain preferences using cookies, such as whether NSFW content should be hidden and whether you’ve enabled the custom "target cursor" for your UI.
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII) unless you choose to provide such information when creating an account or contacting us directly.
2. How We Use Your Information
User Input Data
- The information you provide (text or images) is used solely for processing through the OpenAI API to evaluate whether the content could be a scam.
- Third-Party Processing: Your input data is transmitted to OpenAI's API for analysis. OpenAI processes this information and returns a response, which is then presented to you. OpenAI's use of your data is governed by their Privacy Policy.
- We do not store the text, images, or results after processing, nor do we share this data with any other third party besides OpenAI.
Analytics Data
- We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused tool that does not use cookies or collect personal data. It provides aggregated information like page views, referral sources, and approximate location (country-level).
- We also use Google Analytics, which employs cookies to collect aggregated information about site usage, such as page views, time spent on pages, and referral sources.
- These analytics tools help us understand how users interact with our site and improve the services we offer.
Authentication and Comments
- When you create an account, log in, or comment on an analyzed website, your data is processed using Supabase Auth. This includes:
- Your email address or other login credentials.
- A hashed password (if applicable).

Functional Preferences
- We store your preferences regarding the display of NSFW content and the use of the custom "target cursor" in cookies. These preferences are used solely to enhance your experience while using ScamSniper.
3. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, such as HTTPS encryption, to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Supabase Auth also provides secure, encrypted storage for your authentication and account data. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
