Last updated: February 22, 2026

This is the privacy policy for Dollar Vigil.

We run a fraud prevention and scam detection website. We're not selling your data to marketers. We're not building profiles to manipulate you. We're just trying to help people avoid financial fraud without making things weird.

Here's what we do, what we don't do, and why.

What This Policy Covers

This policy applies to dollarvigil.com and any tools or resources we provide.

If you're reading our content or using any fraud detection tools we offer, this is how we handle your information.

What Information We Collect

We only collect what's necessary to run the site and keep you informed.

Information You Give Us

  • Messages you send: If you reach out through our email.
  • Name and email (optional): If you choose to share them when contacting us.

We don't ask for payment details, phone numbers, or anything beyond what's needed for basic communication.

Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we collect basic technical data when you visit:

  • Device and browser type: So the site works properly.
  • IP address: For security and fraud detection purposes (ironic, we know).
  • Pages you visit: To understand what content is helpful.
  • Referral source: How you found us (search engine, social media, etc.).

We use standard analytics tools to track site performance. We don't use this data to identify you personally or sell it to third parties.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information for exactly what you'd expect:

  • To respond to your questions: If you contact us.
  • To improve the site: By understanding what content helps people avoid scams.
  • To detect suspicious activity: Like bot traffic or attempted hacks.

That's it. We're not building profiles. We may use third-party advertising services such as Google AdSense to support the site. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant advertisements.

You can learn more about how Google uses data by visiting Google’s advertising policies.

We're not selling your data to anyone.

Who We Share Your Information With

Here's who we share your information with:

  • Analytics platforms: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand site traffic. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
  • Legal requirements: If we're legally required to disclose information (like in response to a court order), we will. But we'll fight it if it's unreasonable.

We don't sell, rent, or trade your information. Ever.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies. But not the creepy kind.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember you. We use them for:

  • Analytics: To understand how people use the site.
  • Functionality: So the site works smoothly (like remembering your preferences).

We don't use cookies for cross-site tracking ourselves.

However, if we run ads (for example, via Google AdSense), those third-party providers may set cookies or similar technologies to help deliver and measure advertisements.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features might not work properly.

How We Protect Your Information

We take security seriously. We have to. We're literally a fraud prevention site.

Here's what we do:

  • Encryption: Your data is transmitted securely using HTTPS.
  • Limited access: Only essential team members can access user data.
  • Regular updates: We keep our systems patched and secure.
  • No unnecessary data storage: We don't keep information we don't need.

That said, no system is 100% secure. If there's ever a breach, we'll notify affected users immediately.

Your Rights

You have control over your information. Here's what you can do:

  • Access your data: Ask us what information we have about you.
  • Correct your data: If something's wrong, we'll fix it.
  • Delete your data: Request deletion at any time (with some legal exceptions).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]

Our site includes links to external resources, news articles, and fraud reporting tools.

We're not responsible for how those sites handle your data. Check their privacy policies before sharing information.

Some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial integrity.

Voluntary Support

We may accept voluntary reader support through platforms such as Buy Me a Coffee. Payments are processed by third-party providers, and we do not store payment information directly.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not intended for children under 13.

We don't knowingly collect information from kids. If we discover we've accidentally collected data from a child, we'll delete it immediately.

International Users

Our audience is global. If you're outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

By using our site, you consent to this transfer. We follow international data protection standards wherever possible.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally.

If we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

We're here to help you avoid scams, not to exploit your data. If you ever feel like we're not living up to that, call us out.
