Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ZCrime collects, uses, and protects information when you use our scam and fraud checking tools.

Plain-language summary

ZCrime is designed to work with the minimum amount of data required to perform a check. You submit information voluntarily (such as a URL, domain, or email source), and we use it only to generate a risk report.

We do not ask for passwords, one-time codes, full payment details, or private keys — and you should never submit them.

Information you provide

Depending on the tool you use, you may provide:

  • website or store URLs and domains,
  • individual links for safety checks,
  • email source data (headers and message body) for phishing analysis.

This information is submitted by you voluntarily for the purpose of analysis.

Information we automatically collect

To operate and protect the service, we may automatically collect limited technical data, including:

  • IP address and basic request metadata,
  • timestamps of requests,
  • rate-limiting and abuse-prevention signals.

This data is used for security, reliability, and abuse prevention, not for advertising or profiling.

How we use information

Information submitted to ZCrime is used to:

  • generate scam and fraud risk reports,
  • detect common abuse and phishing patterns,
  • maintain the security and stability of the platform,
  • prevent automated abuse of the service.

We do not sell user data and do not use submitted content for advertising purposes.

Data retention

Submitted data may be retained for a limited period of time to support:

  • report generation and delivery,
  • service debugging and improvement,
  • fraud and abuse analysis.

We aim to retain data only as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes and to minimize stored personal information.

Sharing of information

ZCrime does not share submitted data with third parties except:

  • when required to operate the service (for example, infrastructure providers),
  • to comply with applicable laws or lawful requests,
  • to protect the rights, safety, or security of users or the platform.

We do not provide submitted content to marketers or advertisers.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

However, no online service can guarantee absolute security, and you should avoid submitting sensitive information.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for ensuring that you do not submit:

  • passwords or authentication codes,
  • full card or banking details,
  • private keys or wallet seed phrases.

If a message or website asks for this information, it is a strong indicator of a scam.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
