Privacy Policy

Who we are

scampedia.net is owned and operated by Verify Guard Apps LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company ("we," "us"), which is responsible for how this site handles the information described below. Contact: verifyguardsupport@gmail.com.

What this site collects

Browsing the scam database, Learn articles, or search. None of this is collected or stored anywhere. This site is static pages — reading an entry, searching, or browsing doesn't send anything to us beyond the normal request your browser makes to load the page.

The "Report a Scam" form. If you use this form, we collect whatever you type into the details field, and an email address only if you choose to provide one — it's optional. That's it; there are no hidden fields.

What we do with a report

When you submit the form, its contents are emailed directly to our support inbox (verifyguardsupport@gmail.com) so a person can read it. The report is not saved to any database — it exists as that one email and nowhere else on our systems. If you included your email address, we may reply to follow up; if you didn't, we have no way to reach you and no way to identify who sent it.

Cookies and tracking

This site doesn't set any cookies — not for analytics, advertising, or anything else — and doesn't use tracking pixels, analytics scripts, or browser storage. Because nothing is stored on your device, there's no cookie banner to accept. Its fonts are served from this site itself, so reading Scampedia doesn't contact Google or any other third party. We don't know who's reading which articles, and we're not trying to. If that ever changes, we'll update this section first and ask for consent where the law requires it.

Third parties

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which sees standard web server request logs (like IP address and browser type) the way any web host does — that's GitHub's infrastructure, not something we collect or have access to ourselves. The "Report a Scam" form's contents pass through our VerifyGuard server (hosted on Railway), which doesn't store them, and are relayed through SendGrid (a Twilio email delivery service) purely to get that one email to our inbox. Our server's own logs record only how long the report was and whether you included an email address; like any web host, Railway may keep standard request logs (such as IP address). Our support inbox is a Gmail account, so the report email itself is stored by Google until we delete it.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child submitted a report with personal information, contact us and we'll delete the email.

Your choices

Don't want to share anything? Don't use the report form — everything else on this site works with zero data collection. If you already submitted a report and want it deleted, email verifyguardsupport@gmail.com and we'll delete that message.

Changes to this policy

If what this site collects ever changes, this page will be updated to match — the date at the top will always reflect the last real change.
