Privacy policy
Last updated: September 2026. This page explains, in simple terms, what data is processed when you use Detect-Arnaques.
1. No message is ever stored
Message analysis happens directly in your browser. The text you paste into the checker is never sent to a server, is never saved in a database, and disappears as soon as you close or reload the page.
We don't create any account and don't ask for your name, phone number or email address to use the tool. Never paste a password, an SMS code, or a full card number, even into a tool that keeps nothing.
We do keep an anonymous counter of the total number of checks performed on the site. This counter only stores a number — no message content, no identifying information — and is used solely to understand how much the tool is used.
2. Audience measurement
We use audience measurement (Google Analytics 4) to understand how many visits the site gets and which pages are viewed. These statistics are aggregated and do not identify you personally. The content of analyzed messages is never transmitted.
3. Advertising and cookies (Google AdSense)
This site may display ads provided by Google AdSense and its partners. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites.
Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors. These cookies may collect technical data (approximate IP address, device type, pages viewed) in order to personalize ads and measure their performance.
4. Your opt-out rights
You can turn off personalized advertising at any time from Google Ads Settings, or refuse third-party advertising cookies via aboutads.info. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings.
Under GDPR, you have a right of access, rectification and objection. Since Detect-Arnaques doesn't retain personal data, these rights mainly concern the cookies set by our advertising partners.
5. External links
Some pages link to official sites (police, carriers, reporting platforms). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these sites.
