Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

What we do

SniffScam analyzes email content to help you identify potential scams. You paste an email, we check it, you get a verdict.

What we collect

Email content you submit

We send the email text you paste to our analysis provider (OpenAI) for processing. OpenAI retains data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deletes it. They do not use your data to train their models.

We do not store your email content on our servers.

Links in emails

If your email contains links, we may check them against Google Safe Browsing to identify known malicious URLs. Google receives only the URLs, not your email content.

Usage data

We use basic analytics to understand how the tool is used (page views, button clicks). We do not track you across other websites.

Local storage

We store a counter on your device to track daily usage limits. This never leaves your browser.
