Short version: Listing Detective does not require an account and does not intentionally store your listing screenshots or analysis reports.
What is sent for analysis
When you run a check, the screenshots you selected plus any optional Manual check note you entered are sent to the site’s AI analysis endpoint. That endpoint sends the material to the configured AI provider so it can extract listing evidence. The app requests non-persistent API processing where supported.
What Listing Detective stores
The current MVP does not use a user database, save uploaded screenshots, create user profiles, or keep a history of your checks. Your browser may cache normal site files so the web app loads faster.
What you should avoid uploading
Crop out private messages or personal information that is not needed for the listing check. Do not upload passwords, payment-card details, government IDs, or other sensitive information.
Future analytics and ads
If analytics, advertising, or affiliate links are added later, this policy should be updated before those features go live. Sponsored or affiliate content should remain separate from the risk score.
Important limitation
Listing Detective provides a risk estimate, not authentication, insurance, or a guarantee that a transaction is safe.
Local consistency cache
Your browser may store a cryptographic fingerprint and structured analysis result so an identical repeat check can reuse the same evidence. The screenshot image itself is not stored in this local consistency cache. Clearing site data removes it.
