Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025 · PhantomCheck by FutureStack Intelligence · Ilorin, Nigeria

✓ PhantomCheck has no servers, no database, and no accounts. We cannot collect your data because we have nowhere to put it. Everything stays in your browser.

1. Overview

PhantomCheck is a fully client-side, browser-based tool. It does not operate any backend servers, does not use cookies, and does not collect or transmit any personal data to FutureStack Intelligence. This privacy policy explains exactly what data is stored, where, and why.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

FutureStack Intelligence does not collect, store, or have access to:

  • Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
  • Your scan targets (domains, emails, IPs you search)
  • Your API keys for Claude, VirusTotal, Shodan, or any other service
  • Your scan results or history
  • Your IP address or location
  • Any usage analytics or behaviour tracking

3. What Is Stored Locally

PhantomCheck stores the following data in your browser's localStorage only. This data never leaves your device.

Key What it stores Why
pc_terms Terms acceptance flag So you are not shown the terms checkbox on every visit
__pcs Daily scan count and date To enforce the 5 scans per day rate limit
pc_mode Your last selected output mode To remember Explorer, Analyst, or Operator preference
pc_chat_history In-memory only — not stored Chat history exists only while the page is open and is cleared on every new scan
pc_key_claude Your Claude API key So you do not have to re-enter it every session
pc_key_virustotal Your VirusTotal API key Same as above
pc_key_shodan Your Shodan API key Same as above
pc_key_hibp Your HaveIBeenPwned key Same as above
pc_key_securitytrails Your SecurityTrails key Same as above
pc_key_github Your GitHub token Same as above
pc_cache[type]_[target] Cached scan results To avoid re-scanning the same target repeatedly

To delete all locally stored data: open your browser settings, find "Clear browsing data" or "Storage", and clear localStorage for phantomstack.pages.dev. All keys and cached results will be permanently removed.

4. Third-Party APIs

When you run a scan, PhantomCheck sends your target (domain, email, or IP) directly from your browser to the following third-party APIs. Each request goes from your browser to their servers — not through FutureStack Intelligence.

  • Anthropic (Claude) — AI interpretation of scan results and the scan chat feature. When you use scan chat, your questions and a summary of scan findings (source, summary, severity, score — no raw data) are sent directly from your browser to Anthropic's API using your own Claude key. PhantomCheck does not see or log this traffic. Privacy policy →
  • VirusTotal — malware and reputation data. Privacy policy →
  • Shodan — exposed port and service data. Privacy policy →
  • HaveIBeenPwned — email breach data. Privacy policy →
  • SecurityTrails — DNS history data. Privacy policy →
  • GitHub — public repository scanning. Privacy policy →
  • crt.sh, urlscan.io, AbuseIPDB — free public APIs, no key required. Queries go directly from your browser to their servers.

By using PhantomCheck, you acknowledge that your scan targets will be transmitted to whichever of the above APIs you have enabled. Review each provider's privacy policy for their data handling practices.

5. Waitlist

If you joined the PhantomCheck waitlist, your email address was stored only in your browser's localStorage on the waitlist page. It was not transmitted to any server. We do not currently operate an email marketing platform or mailing list backend.

6. Cloudflare Pages

PhantomCheck is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard web server logs including your IP address and browser information as part of serving the application. This is outside FutureStack Intelligence's control. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.

7. Children

PhantomCheck is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated as the product evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the current version. For major changes, we will note them clearly.
