Is my file uploaded to your server?

No. Your file never leaves your device. We compute its SHA-256 fingerprint locally and only send that hash to check against malware databases.

Is SafeSearchScan free?

5 file scans per month, URL checks, email breach lookups, SSL checker, DNS lookup are all free with no credit card required.

How does SafeSearchScan detect malware?

We check your file's SHA-256 fingerprint against MalwareBazaar and HybridAnalysis behavioral sandbox databases, then use AI to explain what was found in plain English.

Affiliate Disclosure — SafeSearchScan

Our Commitment to Transparency

SafeSearchScan is committed to being fully transparent with our users. This page explains how we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships and how that may affect the content you see on our website.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special tracking link. When you click one and make a purchase, we receive a small commission from the company — at no additional cost to you. You pay exactly the same price you would pay going directly to the company's website.

Our Current Affiliate Partners

SafeSearchScan currently has affiliate relationships with the following companies:

NordVPN — a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service that encrypts your internet connection and protects your privacy online.
NordPass — a password manager that helps you create, store, and manage strong unique passwords for every account.

We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful for our users' security. These products are complementary to SafeSearchScan — they protect different aspects of your digital life.

How We Choose Partners

We do not accept affiliate partnerships with products we would not recommend to a friend. Our criteria:

The product must be directly relevant to online security and privacy
The company must have a strong reputation and track record
The product must offer genuine value to our users

Does This Affect Our Reviews or Tools?

No. Our security tools, scan results, threat intelligence, and editorial content are completely independent of our affiliate relationships. We will never alter a scan result, recommendation, or piece of content because of a commercial relationship.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). Affiliate links on our site are also marked with rel="sponsored" in their HTML, as required by Google's Webmaster Guidelines.
