PRIVACY

Your content stays local for standard scanning.

CheckBefore is operated by an independent developer. Privacy questions or requests can be sent to support@checkbeforeai.com.

Standard file, text and code scanning and supported file cleaning happen in your browser. CheckBefore does not need to upload your original file or pasted content to perform that local workflow.

What we do not collect from your scan

We do not record file contents, file names, pasted text or code, finding values, document text, sheet names, author names, customer names, company names, image pixels, or URLs contained in your files or pasted content.

Product data we use

We collect limited operational data such as an anonymous browser identifier, file type, risk count, page, scan duration, success or failure, and feedback choices or optional feedback text. We use this data to provide allowances, prevent abuse, improve reliability, and understand which product flows need attention. We do not store original file data, pasted scan content, finding values, or raw IP addresses; network and email signals used for abuse prevention are hashed.

Accounts, payments, and service providers

Supabase processes authentication emails and sessions. Paddle processes Lifetime Pro payments and refund requests. Vercel hosts and deploys the application. Sentry receives application error reports. PostHog receives allowlisted structural analytics only when configured. Supabase may use Resend as the configured email delivery provider. These providers may process data in countries outside your own.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use an HttpOnly device cookie and local browser storage for anonymous allowance continuity and abuse prevention. Essential cookies support the service; optional analytics runs only when configured. You can clear browser storage, but server-side allowance controls may still apply.

Retention and your choices

Account, purchase, entitlement, security, event, error, and feedback records are retained only while needed to provide the service, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, improve reliability, or meet legal obligations. You may request access, correction, deletion, or information about processing by emailing support@checkbeforeai.com.

Limits

Local processing applies to the standard scanner workflow described here. CheckBefore does not claim to detect every sensitive value, inspect every part of every file, or guarantee that content is safe to share.

Updates

This policy is effective September 10, 2026. We may update it when the service, providers, or legal obligations change. The current version will remain available on this page.
