Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

shieldie.ai ("we", "our", "us") is an AI-powered website security scanner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service at shieldie.ai.

2. Information We Collect

URLs submitted for scanning: When you submit a URL for analysis, we process the publicly available content of that website to generate security, scam, and privacy reports. We do not store scanned URLs or results beyond the duration of your session.

No personal data collection: We do not require registration, do not use cookies for tracking, and do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses for profiling purposes.

Server logs: Standard web server logs may temporarily contain IP addresses and request metadata for security and operational purposes. These are automatically purged.

3. How We Use Information

The URLs you submit are used solely to:

• Perform security, scam, and privacy scans on the target website
• Generate AI-powered analysis reports
• Display results to you in real-time

We do not sell, share, or transfer any data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. AI Processing

Scan results are processed by a locally hosted AI model (Ollama) to generate analysis reports. No data is sent to external AI providers. All AI processing happens on our own infrastructure.

5. Cookies

shieldie.ai does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics services. No cookies are set during your visit.

6. Third-Party Services

We do not integrate any third-party tracking, analytics, or advertising services. DNS lookups and WHOIS queries are performed server-side against public databases as part of the scanning process.

7. Data Retention

Scan results are generated in real-time and streamed directly to your browser. We do not persist scan results in any database. Once your session ends, the data is gone.

8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is minimal data to exercise rights over. However, you have the right to:

• Request information about any data we may hold
• Request deletion of any data
• Opt out of any future data collection

For any requests, contact us at privacy@shieldie.ai.

9. Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all connections. Our scanning infrastructure is isolated and does not store user session data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
