Privacy
CipherScope is a lightweight public-domain scan service. The service is designed to work without user accounts or advertising tech, while using basic traffic measurement to understand service usage.
What the service handles
The service handles submitted domains, scan records, generated report IDs and URLs, timestamps, and status details needed to run the scan lifecycle and display temporary hosted reports.
CipherScope and the companies that help run it may also receive standard service information such as IP address, request time, browser details, and error or security events to keep the service running and protect it from abuse.
To manage the free-use allowance, CipherScope also stores a signed browser visitor identifier, limited local storage state in the browser, and server-side usage records linked to a hashed IP address and timestamps.
CipherScope uses Google Analytics to measure page visits and general site usage. Google may receive standard page-view and device information, and may use cookies or similar identifiers to provide analytics reporting under its own terms and policies.
When subscriber access is used, CipherScope stores an HttpOnly access cookie and sends entitlement-check requests to PostQuantumSecurity.org to validate and refresh that access.
What the service does not do
CipherScope has no user accounts, no saved profiles, no marketing emails, and no payment collection.
CipherScope does not use the Google tag for advertising features or personalized ads.
Retention and deletion
Scan records and hosted reports are retained temporarily and currently default to 30 days in the public service configuration.
Free-use metering records and subscriber-access validation records may be retained for a longer period when needed for abuse prevention, entitlement checks, reliability, or legal compliance.
Standard service logs and security records may be retained longer when needed for abuse prevention, reliability, or legal compliance.
Hosting and contact
CipherScope is provided by HybridCipher, which may use service providers that help host, secure, and deliver the service.
