Privacy & Safety FAQ

Everything you need to know about link privacy scanning and protecting your digital footprint.

What is a drive-by download?

A drive-by download occurs when a website automatically triggers a file download without your consent. Our tool identifies these triggers (.exe, .zip, .sh) so you can avoid them.

How do you detect hidden trackers?

We scan the website's source code for known tracking IDs and script sources from over 50+ providers like Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Hotjar.

Can a link access my camera?

Yes, modern browsers have APIs that allow sites to request camera/mic access. Our scanner checks if a site is programmed to make these requests before you visit.

Is the Privacy Score 100% accurate?

The score is a heuristic audit based on encryption, trackers, and data entry risks. It's a highly reliable indicator of a site's safety profile.

What is an unsecured data form?

If a site asks for passwords or emails over HTTP instead of HTTPS, your data is visible to hackers. We flag these sites as high risk immediately.

Why check for HSTS and CSP?

HSTS forces browsers to use secure connections, while CSP prevents code injection. These are 'Safety Checkpoints' for professional, secure websites.
