Who We Are
TrustCoyote is a domain and URL safety scanner created by Dmytro Grydin. The service helps users request a reputation check for a domain and view a short security verdict based on third-party reputation data and AI-generated analysis.
Information We Process
When you use TrustCoyote, we may process the following information:
- Submitted domain or URL. The value you enter is normalized to a domain name before analysis.
- Scan result data. This may include the trust score, report URL, generated analysis, selected response language, and timestamp.
- Technical data. We may process IP address, request metadata, server logs, rate-limit signals, and security diagnostics needed to operate and protect the service.
- Local browser data. Your browser may store the selected language and recent local checks in localStorage. This helps keep the interface fast and remembers your language choice.
TrustCoyote does not require an account, payment details, or a contact form to use the scanner.
How We Use Information
We use information to provide domain checks, generate security summaries, cache recent results, prevent abuse, debug the service, maintain uptime, and improve reliability. We may also show recently checked public domains in the moving domain rail on the homepage. That rail is limited to domain and trust score.
If a domain is confidential, internal, unreleased, or sensitive to your organization, do not submit it unless you are comfortable with it being processed by the service and potentially appearing as a recently checked domain.
Third-Party Processing
TrustCoyote uses third-party services to provide the scanner:
- Gridinsoft. The submitted domain is sent to Gridinsoft to request reputation context and a report URL.
- DeepSeek. Selected security context, such as the domain, trust score, verdict, and security signals, may be sent to DeepSeek to generate a concise analysis.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers. These providers process request and server data needed to deliver the website securely.
- Google Fonts. Some pages may load fonts from Google, which can cause basic request metadata such as IP address and user agent to be processed by Google.
We do not intentionally send your IP address to Gridinsoft or DeepSeek as part of the analysis payload, but network and infrastructure providers may process technical request data in the ordinary course of service delivery.
Cookies, Local Storage, and Tracking
TrustCoyote does not currently use advertising cookies or cross-site behavioral advertising. The site uses localStorage to remember interface choices and recent local checks. Server-side logs and rate-limit data may still be created when you request pages or scanner results.
Because there is no single accepted browser standard for Do Not Track signals, TrustCoyote does not currently respond to Do Not Track headers. We also do not sell personal information.
Retention
Local browser check data is intended to be short-lived and expires from the interface after approximately one hour. Server-side history and logs are retained only for as long as reasonably needed to operate the service, provide caching, prevent abuse, diagnose problems, and comply with legal obligations. We may delete, aggregate, or anonymize information when it is no longer needed for those purposes.
Your Choices and Rights
You can clear localStorage through your browser settings. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, object to, or restrict processing of personal information. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.
To make a privacy request, contact Dmytro Grydin through the author links in the site footer. Please include enough information to identify the request without sending passwords, private keys, payment details, or other sensitive secrets.
Children
TrustCoyote is not intended for children. Do not use the service if you are not old enough to use online services under the laws that apply to you.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy as the service changes. The “Last updated” date shows when the current version took effect.
