Link Privacy & Safety Scanner
The internet's first line of defense. Audit any URL for hidden tracking pixels, intrusive hardware requests, and malicious downloads for free.
Hardware Access Scan
Detects hidden requests for Bluetooth, USB, and HID devices connected to your computer.
Deep Privacy Audit
Scans for low-level WebAPI calls that access your GPS, Contacts, and Clipboard data.
Payment Safety
Identify if a site is attempting to trigger Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other wallet requests.
Download Guard
Protect your device from malicious software. Our engine scans if a link triggers an automatic file download (.exe, .zip, .msi) before you click it.
Tracker Detection
Stop invasive tracking. We identify hidden scripts from Facebook, TikTok, and Google that record your personal behavior and browsing history.
Hardware Access
Know what the link wants to access. Detect requests for your Camera, Microphone, Bluetooth, and Location before they are even requested.
Why check a link before clicking?
In today's digital landscape, a simple click can compromise your entire digital identity. Malicious links can trigger "drive-by" downloads, scrape your clipboard data, or track your physical location using advanced browser APIs.
- Identify unencrypted HTTP sites that leak your data.
- Detect hidden Hotjar and Facebook pixels tracking you.
- Prevent phishing attempts that mimic real login pages.
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.
