What you get back
Same verdict on every channel. Arthur doesn’t store the content of what you send — analysis runs in memory, then the raw text is discarded. We keep an anonymous summary so we can warn other Australians about the same scam.
Anonymous reporting
We never ask for your name. Forwarding from a personal email address means we can email the verdict back, but the address stays out of public datasets. See privacy and trust for the detail.
