Privacy notice

ProtectYourParents.org is a personal project. I am not interested in tracking you, selling your data, or building advertising profiles. This page explains what limited information may be collected when you use the site and how it is handled.

1. Information you choose to share

If you contact me using the email address on the site, I will see whatever information you send, such as:

• Your email address
• Your name (if you include it)
• The contents of your message

I may keep your message in my personal email account so I can reply or refer back to it. I do not sell or share these messages with advertisers or data brokers.

2. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the hosting provider for this site may automatically collect basic technical information when you visit, such as:

• Your IP address and approximate region
• The type of browser and device you use
• The pages you visit and basic error logs

This information is generally used for security and for keeping the site running reliably. I do not personally use it to identify individual visitors.

3. Cookies and analytics

As of the "Last updated" date above, this site does not run advertising trackers or third-party ad networks.

If I decide to add simple analytics in the future (for example, to understand how many people download the tip sheet), I will use privacy-respecting tools and update this page to explain what is being used and why.

4. The scam checker tool

The "Is This a Scam?" checker runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste is analyzed locally and is not sent to any server. It does not connect to your bank, your email, or any of your accounts.

That said, you should still avoid pasting extremely sensitive information like full account numbers, Social Security numbers, or entire copies of official documents.

5. Children's privacy

This site is created for adults who want to help protect parents, grandparents, and other adults from scams. It is not aimed at children. If you believe a child has shared personal information with me, you can reach out using the contact details on the site and I will do my best to remove it.

6. Sharing of information

I do not sell your personal information. I may share limited information only in these situations:

• When required by law or a valid legal process
• To protect the safety of this site or its users

7. Contact

If you have questions or concerns about this privacy notice, you can reach me through the Contact page.
