  4. Run related tools when the request includes payment, identity, or urgency pressure.

FAQ

Is privacy policy presence enough to trust a site?
No. It is a baseline signal. Combine it with company, contact, and payment risk checks.
Why do fraud pages still show policies?
Some copy generic policy text to appear credible. Check consistency and other legitimacy indicators.
What if policy is missing?
Treat as elevated risk for personal data sharing until business legitimacy is verified.
