    1. Introduction

    Welcome to The Cyberfool ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at cyber-fool.com.

    Information You Provide

    • Newsletter subscriptions: your email address
    • Spam Check tool: message content is processed by our AI service but is not saved in this site's database. Forwarded mail passes through Postmark. Admin-only operational records retain the forwarding address, subject (up to 500 characters), verdict, risk level, detected language and scan time for duplicate prevention and support. These records currently have no automatic deletion schedule; you may request deletion. Delivery and AI providers have their own retention terms.
    • Forward & Scan newsletter: forwarding an email also adds your reply address to the newsletter. It remains subscribed until you unsubscribe using the link in a reply or newsletter, or request removal.
    • Contact form: any information you voluntarily provide
