Welcome

fraudster.info is a volunteer network of leaders with deep experience in investigation, identity, privacy, and security. This Privacy Policy describes how we process and handle data provided to fraudster.info in connection with your use of our website.

Information security and privacy are at the heart of what fraudster.info values and promotes as a volunteers network. As such, we think it’s important to be transparent about how we handle your information. That level of transparency also makes for a lengthy document, but we’ve tried to make it more readable by organizing it into a logical structure and using plain language.

fraudster.info offers a knowledge base and exchange platform for victims and interested parties in/of cybercrime, scam schemes and fraud, and this policy describes our comprehensive approach to ensuring privacy considerations across all our public website.  We have some unique approaches to managing data for certain of our online services.

This policy uses the term “personal data” to refer to information that is related to an identified or identifiable natural person.

In this policy, “fraudster.info”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers only to our volunteer network.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

How fraudster.info handles your information depends on our relationship with you.

If you are an individual user, fraudster.info is the controller of your information and handles your information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. We want to make sure such users are aware of how we use your information in accordance with fair and lawful practices. 

What Information Do We Collect About You?

Most tech companies, whether it’s Google or Apple, define privacy as “nobody can exploit your data except for us.” We disagree. We believe nobody should be able to exploit your data, period. Our technology is built around this fundamentally stronger definition of privacy.

During and after you have registered all data will be encrypted. Our pledge to protect your privacy is more than just a promise — it’s backed by strong encryption. Our zero-access encryption and end-to-end encryption differ from other forms of encryption because we can’t decrypt your data. This is a far more robust privacy promise based on the inviolable laws of mathematics. But that also means, once you lost you password, we can’t help you recovering it.

We do not contact you for marketing purposes, but we may track user activities. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal whereby you may indicate your preference regarding tracking and cross-site tracking. fraudster.info does not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals.

Security

Securing personal data is an important aspect of protecting privacy. fraudster.info employs a range of administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or modification. We endeavor to use the reasonably available state-of-the-art network and information security standards, protocols and technologies, including encryption, intrusion detection and data loss prevention, and we monitor our systems to ensure that they comply with our security policies.

We implement physical, technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data in our custody, both at rest and in transit, and should these measures fail to prevent a data breach, we will promptly take the necessary remedial measures, and we will provide notices as required by applicable law.

If you have any questions about the security of your personal data or the security of our products or wish to report a potential security issue, please contact he***@fr*******.info. When reporting a potential security issue, please describe the matter in as much detail as possible and include any information that might be helpful.

International Data Transfers

fraudster.info avoids as best as possible NOT transferring your data to countries other than the one in which you reside. Laws in other countries may be different from those that apply where you reside. For example, personal data collected within Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or the European Economic Area (EEA) may be transferred and processed outside Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or the EEA for purposes described in this policy. We put in place appropriate safeguards that help to ensure that such data receives an adequate level of protection. These safeguards include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of personal information between us and our business affiliates and associates to which we choose to transfer the information that requires these companies to safeguard the personal information they process from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland.  You may contact us if you would like more information about such safeguards. We implement similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and further details can be provided upon request.

If you change your country of residence, your data may change accordingly, and your data may be transferred to that other company.

Data Retention

fraudster.info generally does not retain your personal data. But we me may retain encrypted data if required by law, or for our legitimate interests, such as abuse detection and prevention, and defending ourselves from legal claims. Residual copies of personal data may be stored in backup systems for a limited period as a security measure to protect against data loss.
