Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how LinkThreatScan (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, processes, and safeguards your personal information when you access or use our website and services. By using LinkThreatScan, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. We encourage you to review it periodically, as it may be updated to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in several ways depending on how you interact with our service:

Account information — When you register, we collect your email address and a securely hashed version of your password.
Scan data — URLs, domain names, IP addresses, or email addresses you submit for analysis.
Technical data — Your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, and timestamps of activity.
Payment data — Subscription and billing information processed by our payment provider, Stripe. We do not store full payment card details on our servers.

To comply with applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share information with third parties in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers — Trusted vendors (such as Stripe for payments and cloud infrastructure providers) who assist us in operating the service. These parties are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and only as directed by us.
Legal requirements — When required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or when disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of LinkThreatScan, its users, or the public.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, to maintain your account, and to comply with our legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations. Scan results associated with your account are stored to enable you to review past analyses. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised. You may request earlier deletion by contacting us (see Section 8).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address listed in Section 8. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (TLS/HTTPS), hashed password storage, and access controls restricted to authorised personnel. While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the bottom of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website. Your continued use of LinkThreatScan following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
