Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 September 2026
Verigrity respects your privacy. This policy explains how information is handled when you use verigrity.com (the "Site") and our verification tools.
Information you provide
The Site does not require an account to use the basic checker. If you subscribe to our scam alerts mailing list, we collect the email address you provide. If you contact us through our contact form, we receive the information you choose to include in your message.
Website checker and tool queries
When you submit a website URL to the Verigrity Trust Checker or any Verigrity tool, the URL is sent to our server endpoint (/api/trust) so that the tool can fetch the site's public signals — HTTPS status, TLS certificate details, HTTP response headers, DNS records, and page content. Our server processes the URL in memory to produce the report. We do not store, log, or build a history of the URLs you submit. If the server cannot be reached, the checker falls back to a limited client-side assessment in your browser.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies. Necessary for the Site to function — for example, remembering your cookie consent choice.
- Analytics cookies. Provided by Google Analytics 4 (via
gtag.js) to help us understand how visitors use the Site. - Advertising cookies. If advertising is enabled, third-party vendors — including Google — use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites.
Non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) are loaded only after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you click "Reject non-essential," those cookies are not loaded.

- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and/or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
