Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 29, 2025

Introduction

PhishingChecker.ai (also “PhishGuard”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) provides an AI-powered email and message analysis tool to help users detect phishing and suspicious content. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

  • Message content: When you paste text into our analysis tool, that content may be processed temporarily for analysis.
  • Metadata: IP address, browser type, and timestamps may be logged for security, rate limiting, and abuse prevention.
  • Optional contact data: If you contact us (support, feedback), we may store your email and message to respond and improve the service.

2. How we use your information

We use information for purposes including:

  • Providing the analysis service and returning results to you.
  • Improving the AI models and service performance (in an aggregated or anonymized form).
  • Detecting and preventing abuse, fraud, or other security incidents.
  • Communicating with you about updates, policy changes, or support inquiries if you opt in to such communication.

3. Does PhishingChecker.ai store messages?

Our goal is to minimize retention. By default, message content submitted for analysis is processed transiently and is not stored long-term. If any storage is used for model improvement or abuse analysis, we will aggregate, anonymize, or otherwise minimize personal data usage. If you need stronger guarantees (e.g., no server-side processing), contact us to discuss on-device or private deployment options.

4. Cookies & similar technologies

We may use cookies and local storage for session management, preferences (language), and analytics. Cookies do not contain message content. You can control cookies via your browser settings.

5. Third parties

We may use third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, AI providers). These parties only receive the data necessary to perform their tasks and are contractually required to protect it.

6. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your data. However, no internet service can be 100% secure — please avoid submitting extremely sensitive personal data to the tool when possible.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

8. Children

The site and services are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When significant changes occur we will post the revised date and a summary. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
