SCAM ALERT GLOBAL Website Privacy Notice


Effective date: June 10, 2026 | Contact: contact@scamalertglobal.com | Website: scamalertglobal.

Plain-language summary
  • SAG collects only what people choose to send through the website, contact form, or reporting portal.
  • SAG uses scam details to identify patterns, prepare awareness material, and support lawful anti-fraud reporting.
  • SAG focuses on scam data, not victim personal information.
  • SAG does not sell personal information, use it for advertising, or offer paid recovery services.
  • Personal information is used only when needed to respond, manage a report, protect safety or security, support lawful reporting, or comply with law.

1. Who we are

Scam Alert Global (SAG) is a free public awareness initiative. SAG provides information, education, pattern recognition, and practical next-step guidance for people affected by scams.

SAG is not a law firm, law enforcement agency, bank, exchange, or fund recovery service. SAG does not charge victims, sell recovery services, or promise that funds can be recovered.

2. What this notice covers

This notice explains how SAG handles information submitted through scamalertglobal.com, including the reporting portal, contact form, evidence uploads, email communications, and normal website use.

Submitting a report is voluntary. Please do not include private information that is not needed to explain the scam.

3. Information people may submit

When someone uses the reporting portal, they may choose to provide:

  • contact information, such as name or email address, if they want SAG to respond;
  • general location information, such as country, province, state, or region;
  • scam type, platform where contact began, payment method, amount lost or requested, and dates;
  • a written explanation of what happened;
  • screenshots, messages, receipts, transaction records, profile links, or other evidence;
  • scammer indicators, such as phone numbers, email addresses, usernames, websites, social media profiles, crypto wallet addresses, payment handles, bank details, company names, scripts, or repeated language.

4. What SAG does with reporting-portal data

SAG uses the data of the scam to look for patterns. This includes repeated phone numbers, email addresses, fake profiles, websites, wallet addresses, payment routes, scripts, platform movement, and other scam indicators.

What we may receive How SAG uses it
Victim contact details Used only when needed to respond, clarify a report,
manage follow-up, or meet legal requirements.
Scam indicators Used to identify repeat patterns, connected reports,
scam infrastructure, and public safety trends.
Screenshots and evidence Reviewed to understand the scam method, confirm
indicators, and preserve relevant context.
Loss/payment details Used to understand the scam type, payment pathway,
and scale of harm.
Location or country/region Used to understand jurisdictional trends and where
victims may need to report.

5. Personal information is not the focus

SAG does not need unnecessary personal details to identify scam patterns. When SAG prepares public awareness posts, advisories, summaries, or pattern reports, SAG aims to remove or avoid victim names, personal contact details, private addresses, personal account numbers, and unrelated identifying information.

SAG may keep limited personal information when it is needed to communicate with the person who submitted the report, organize the submission, preserve evidence, protect safety or security, support lawful reporting, or comply with a legal obligation.

6. When SAG may share information

SAG may share scam indicators, pattern summaries, or report information with law enforcement, regulators, consumer protection agencies, reporting portals, platforms, financial institutions, anti-fraud partners, or other appropriate contacts where this supports lawful fraud prevention or public awareness.

SAG does not sell personal information. SAG does not share victim personal information for advertising, marketing, paid services, or recovery offers.

SAG may share personal information only where the person has agreed, where it is necessary for lawful reporting or safety, where it is required by law, or where SAG is legally compelled to respond to a valid request such as a court order, subpoena, regulator request, or law enforcement demand.

7. Evidence uploads and screenshots

Screenshots and documents can contain private information. Before uploading evidence, people should consider covering or removing information that is not needed, such as full account numbers, unrelated conversations, private addresses, passwords, recovery codes, or sensitive family details.

Do not upload passwords, seed phrases, private keys, two-factor authentication codes, full bank login details, or government identification unless specifically required by an official agency. SAG does not need that information for pattern recognition.

8. AI-assisted pattern review

SAG may use AI-assisted tools to help organize scam indicators and identify repeated patterns. Examples include matching phone numbers, email addresses, websites, crypto wallets, fake company names, repeated scripts, and platform movement.

When AI-assisted tools are used, SAG aims to use scam-pattern details and remove unnecessary personal identifying information wherever possible. AI-assisted output remains subject to human review.

9. Website technical information, cookies, and analytics

Like most websites, scamalertglobal.com may receive standard technical information when someone visits the site. This may include IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location, pages visited, dates and times, referring page, and security logs.

This information may be used to keep the website working, improve pages, prevent spam or abuse, troubleshoot upload issues, and protect the website from attacks.

If SAG later adds analytics, advertising pixels, newsletters, payment tools, donation tools, CAPTCHA, or other third-party plugins that collect personal information, this notice should be updated to name those tools and explain what they collect.

10. Storage, access, and safeguards

Reports may be stored in the website system, email, secure files, databases, or other working records used by SAG to manage submissions and pattern review.

Access should be limited to authorized SAG administrators, approved volunteers, and technical service providers who need access to operate, secure, or maintain the website and reporting portal.

No online system is risk-free. SAG will take reasonable steps to limit access, reduce unnecessary personal information, and handle report data carefully.

11. How long information is kept

SAG may keep scam reports and scam indicators for as long as they are useful for pattern recognition, public awareness, lawful reporting, safety, recordkeeping, or legal reasons.

Personal information that is not needed should be minimized, removed, or separated where practical. Some information may need to be kept if it is connected to evidence, an active report, legal obligations, or an official request.

12. Requests, corrections, or questions

A person may contact SAG to ask about information they submitted, request a correction, or ask whether personal information can be removed from SAG working records.

SAG will review requests case by case. In some cases, SAG may not be able to delete information immediately if it is required for legal reasons, safety reasons, active reporting, evidence preservation, or fraud-pattern documentation.

Privacy questions can be sent to: contact@scamalertglobal.com

13. Updates to this notice

SAG may update this notice as the website, reporting portal, security tools, or reporting processes change. The effective date at the top of this page should be updated when changes are made.
