The short version: we do not store, share, or sell any uploaded photos or personal data. Photos are deleted immediately after scanning, and scans only run when you start them.
The screenshot you upload is used for one purpose only: running the scan you asked for. During the reverse image search it may sit briefly in temporary storage under a random, unguessable name, and it is deleted the moment your scan finishes. We never keep a copy, so we cannot retrieve it afterwards, and neither can anyone else.
We never share, sell, publish, or reuse your photos, and we never use them to train AI models.
So you can review your past scans, we keep the results of each one in your account: the name and platform visible in the screenshot, the Fake Score, the verdict, and the findings behind it. These results are private to your account. We do not share or sell them, and the person you scanned is never notified.
If you'd like a scan result removed, contact us and we'll delete it.
A scan runs only when you upload a screenshot and press the button. We do not crawl dating apps, monitor anyone in the background, run scheduled or automated scans, or keep watchlists. Nothing happens unless you make it happen.
To run your account we store your email address and a securely hashed version of your password. We never see or store your card details: payments are handled by Stripe, our payment processor.
We use your email only for account essentials like verification, password resets, receipts, and replies to messages you send us. We don't sell it or hand it to advertisers.
Running a scan involves a small number of trusted providers: an AI service that reads the screenshot you upload, a reverse image search service that checks where a photo appears online, Stripe for payments, and an email service for account emails. Each receives only what it needs to do its job, and none is permitted to keep or reuse your photos.
We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking.
You can delete individual scans or your entire account at any time. Deleting your account removes your scan history and personal details from our systems. Email support@scanfakes.com if you'd like a hand with either.
If anything here is unclear, or you want to know more about how your data is handled, email us at support@scanfakes.com or use the contact page. We'll reply within 24 hours.
