Privacy Policy

This page is maintained by the Scam Lookup team to explain how the public scanner handles data.

What we collect

The scanner receives a domain name and returns a report. We do not require a signup, do not set advertising cookies, and do not send scan data to third parties.

Caching

Full JSON scan reports are cached at the network edge for up to 24 hours to make repeat lookups fast and to keep bandwidth costs low. Cache entries are keyed by the domain being scanned — not by any user identifier.

Local device storage

Your recent searches, favorites and scan history are stored in your browser only. They never leave your device unless you choose to enable an account (not yet available). You can clear this data at any time from the Search or History page.

What the scanner requests

When you scan a domain, our servers make public network requests to that domain, to Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS resolver, to RDAP registries and to crt.sh. These are the same kinds of requests any browser or DNS-lookup tool would make.
