ScamSafe privacy policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026

ScamSafe is a browser extension for Chrome and Safari. It warns you about businesses in your Google Search and Google Maps results that people have reported as scams on ScamMeTwice.

What ScamSafe reads

ScamSafe only runs on Google Search and Google Maps results pages. There, it reads the details of the businesses shown: business name, phone number, street address and website address. It does not run on any other website.

What ScamSafe sends, and to whom

To check for scam reports, ScamSafe sends those business details to the ScamMeTwice API at https://www.scammetwice.com. When you click a warning, it asks the same API for that business's reports. Nothing is sent to anyone else.

ScamSafe does not send:

  • your search query
  • the address of the page you're on, or your browsing history
  • your name, email, location, or any account or device identifier

Like any website, the ScamMeTwice server receives your IP address as part of each network request. ScamMeTwice uses it only to limit how many requests one address can make per minute. It keeps it in the server's memory for that, never in a database or log, and does not log or store the business details you looked up. Its hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard, short-lived request logs (IP address, time and requested path).

What ScamSafe stores on your device

In your browser's extension storage, ScamSafe keeps:

  • your on/off setting
  • recent lookup results, for up to 24 hours, so the same business isn't checked again on every search

This data stays on your device and is removed when you uninstall the extension.

What ScamSafe doesn't do

ScamSafe has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. It does not sell or share data with anyone, and does not use data for any purpose other than showing scam warnings. It does not use data to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

Children

ScamSafe doesn't knowingly collect any personal information, from children or anyone else.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
