سياسة الخصوصية

LinkGuard is a free tool for scanning links before you visit them, to detect malware and phishing attempts. No account is required, and it does not collect any personal information about your identity.

When you scan a link, only that link (never anything about you - not your name, email, or location) is sent to specialized third-party security services to assess its safety:

• VirusTotal - scans the link across 70+ security engines
• Google Safe Browsing - checks Google's lists of dangerous links
• urlscan.io - takes a screenshot and technical preview of the site
• URLhaus and PhishTank (abuse.ch) - malware/phishing link databases
• AbuseIPDB - abuse reputation of the site's hosting IP address
• RDAP (rdap.org) - domain registration age
• unshorten.me - fallback only, when a shortened link can't be resolved directly

⚠️ Important: urlscan.io results are published with public visibility - any link you scan becomes searchable and viewable by anyone on urlscan.io. Do not scan private or sensitive links (e.g. a personal password-reset link) through LinkGuard.

Your scan history and preferred UI language are stored locally on your device only (browser Local Storage, or inside the Android app) - never on any server - and you can clear them anytime from within the app.

• Camera - only to scan QR codes and extract the link before scanning it; no photos are captured or stored
• Internet / network state - to reach the scanning services and show connectivity status

The app requests no location, contacts, or storage permission.

LinkGuard shows no ads, uses no user-behavior analytics/tracking tools, and never sells or shares data for marketing purposes.

For any question about this policy, reach out via the project's GitHub page or LinkedIn.

This page may be updated in the future; the last-updated date above will always reflect that.
