Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2026
Introduction
Trusted Stranger – Guard is designed to help users review suspicious messages, emails, links, websites, and other communications for potential scams, phishing attempts, fraud, and online safety risks. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our app or website.
Information We Collect
Trusted Stranger – Guard is designed to collect as little personal information as possible. The app does not require users to create an account for the core experience.
Depending on the features used, the app may store information such as:
- Saved scam checks or analysis history
- User-submitted messages, links, screenshots, or text for analysis
- Notification preferences
- Theme, display, and text size preferences
- Basic app settings
Some information may be stored locally on your device to provide app functionality. If cloud-based or AI-powered analysis is used, submitted content may be processed by trusted third-party services solely to provide the requested analysis.
Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless you choose to include it in content you submit for analysis.
We do not intentionally collect:
- Your precise location
- Your contacts
- Financial account numbers
- Government identification numbers
- Passwords
- Security codes or verification codes
You should avoid submitting passwords, verification codes, full account numbers, Social Security numbers, payment card numbers, or other highly sensitive information into the app.
User-Submitted Content
Trusted Stranger – Guard may allow you to paste, type, upload, or otherwise submit suspicious messages, emails, links, screenshots, or website information for review. This content is used to provide a scam risk assessment, identify possible red flags, and explain why something may appear suspicious.
Before submitting content, you should remove or hide personal details that are not needed for the analysis, such as passwords, account numbers, addresses, or verification codes.
How We Use Information
Information handled by the app is used to provide features such as scam checks, phishing risk assessments, saved analysis history, app settings, notifications, and user preferences.
Notifications
If you enable notifications, Trusted Stranger – Guard may send safety reminders, scam awareness tips, or app-related notifications. You can turn notifications on or off through the app settings or your device settings.
Data Storage
App preferences and some saved information may be stored locally on your device. If you delete the app, locally stored information may also be deleted.
If the app offers saved scam checks, history, premium features, or cloud-based functionality, some information may be stored or processed outside your device in order to provide those features.
Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party services for app distribution, hosting, diagnostics, analytics, payment processing, cloud processing, AI-powered analysis, or basic performance monitoring. These services may process limited technical information or user-submitted content according to their own privacy policies.
No Sale of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information.
Scam Analysis Disclaimer
Trusted Stranger – Guard provides guidance and risk assessments to help users identify suspicious content. The app does not guarantee that any message, website, link, or communication is safe or unsafe. Users should always exercise caution before clicking links, sending money, sharing personal information, or responding to suspicious communications.
Financial, Legal, and Security Disclaimer
Trusted Stranger – Guard does not provide financial advice, legal advice, cybersecurity services, law enforcement services, or identity theft recovery services. If you believe you are the victim of fraud, identity theft, or a financial scam, you should contact your financial institution, appropriate authorities, or a qualified professional.
Children’s Privacy
Trusted Stranger – Guard is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
