1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to huntscammers.com and any related pages or tools we operate (collectively, the “Website”). It covers how information is collected when you visit the Website, create an account, search scammers or submit reports.
We may occasionally update this Policy. We encourage you to review it from time to time so you understand how your data is handled while you are hunting scammers and helping others stay safe.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Visiting HuntScammers
You can browse many parts of HuntScammers without telling us who you are. Certain features – such as creating an account, placing a report or contacting support – require you to provide some Personal Information.
2.2 Personal Information
“Personal Information” means data that can identify you as an individual, such as:
- Your name, email address and other contact details you choose to give us;

- Data about you that is lawfully supplied by trusted partners or public sources, for example from social networks or search engines.
We do not intentionally collect highly sensitive categories of data (for example, health or religious information) through the Website.
2.3 Navigational & log information
When you use HuntScammers, our systems automatically record certain technical data, such as IP address, browser type, device, country/region, pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages and the time of each request. We use this information to keep the site secure, to prevent abuse, and to understand how people are using our tools.
2.4 Information from third parties
From time to time we may receive limited additional information about you from partners, analytics providers or public sources. We combine this with the data we collect directly and use it in line with this Privacy Policy.
2.5 Children
HuntScammers is intended for adults. Our services are not aimed at anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy and with applicable law. We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties.

Where data protection law applies, we process Personal Information on one or more of the following bases: your consent; the need to perform a contract with you; our legitimate interests (for example, keeping the platform secure and preventing fraud); or compliance with a legal obligation.
3.3 Security
We use a mixture of technical, administrative and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. No online service is 100% secure, so please choose a strong password, keep it secret, and be cautious on shared devices.
5. International Transfers
HuntScammers may process information in countries other than your own. Whenever we transfer Personal Information internationally, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection, for example by using standard contractual clauses or working only with processors that meet recognised security and privacy standards.
