FlagMyListing ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website (flagmylisting.com).

Information We Collect

  • Listing text you paste: When you use our Scam Checker tool, the listing text you paste is analyzed entirely in your browser. We do not transmit, store, or log the text you paste. All analysis happens client-side using JavaScript.
  • Listing URLs you submit: When you paste a listing URL, we fetch the page content server-side to extract listing details. We do not store the URL or the fetched content after the request completes.
  • Email address: If you voluntarily subscribe to our email alerts, we collect your email address. We use this solely to send rental scam alerts and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Analytics data: We use standard web analytics (page views, referral source, device type) to understand how our site is used. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
  • Cookies: We use cookies for Google AdSense (advertising) and basic site analytics. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings.

How We Use Information

  • To provide rental scam detection analysis (processed client-side only)

How We Handle Listing Data

When you paste listing text directly into our Scam Checker, all analysis is performed client-side in your browser using JavaScript. The text is never sent to our servers or any third party.

When you submit a listing URL, our server fetches the page content to extract listing details for analysis. This data is processed in memory only and is not stored, logged, or retained after the request completes. We do not build any database of checked listings or URLs.

Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all website traffic. We do not maintain databases of user-submitted listing text or URLs. Our hosting provider (Vercel) may retain standard server access logs (IP address, timestamp, URL requested) as part of normal operations.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Opt out of personalized advertising
  • Unsubscribe from email communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@flagmylisting.com.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
