Privacy Policy

Our Core Principle

TrustScan.dev is built on a simple premise: privacy tools should respect your privacy. All of our tools run entirely in your browser (client-side). Your data is processed locally on your device and is never sent to our servers.

What We Collect

We collect minimal data to keep the site running and improve it:

Analytics (Google Analytics 4): We use GA4 to understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and approximate location (country/city level). GA4 does not collect personally identifiable information by default. You can opt out using browser extensions or by disabling JavaScript.

Advertising (Google AdSense): We display ads through Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve relevant ads. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by their own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any data you enter into our tools. Specifically:

Your business information entered into the Privacy Law Checker stays in your browser. Files processed by the PDF Metadata Stripper never leave your device. No user accounts, no email addresses (unless you voluntarily subscribe to notifications), no payment information, no personal data of any kind is stored on our servers.

Cookies

TrustScan.dev itself does not set any first-party cookies. Third-party cookies may be set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Google Analytics 4 — for anonymized usage analytics.

Google AdSense — for displaying advertisements.

Netlify — for hosting and deployment.

Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they process data.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we collect minimal data (only through third-party analytics), most of these rights are exercised through Google's tools directly. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at privacy@trustscan.dev.

Children's Privacy

TrustScan.dev is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
