What we keep
The newsletter
If you subscribe, we store your email, the fact that you opted in, and when. The box is unchecked until you check it. Resend sends the email and handles unsubscribe. We don't sell the list.
Checks and searches
A check that does not match a reviewed report is kept privately for 30 days. Only the site owner can see it. It is used only to find new scams, then it is deleted. Card and account numbers are removed before anything is saved. A search of the public database that finds nothing is stored the same way, with emails and phone numbers removed, and is also deleted after 30 days.
Pageviews
We count pages ourselves. A view stores the path, the referring site with the query string removed, and the day. No account, no tracking cookie, and no name.
Reports and sponsor notes
A report stores what you typed. An email is stored only if you add one, and it is not published. Sponsor notes are emailed to the site owner when that is configured.
The sponsor bar
Closing it saves that choice in local storage on your device, for that sponsor week only.
