Who We Are
GuardDex is operated by Richey Business (David A. Richey). This policy covers data collected through GuardDex services reachable at guarddex.richeyda.com and richeyda.com .
What We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide the service you requested:
- SMS opt-in: phone number, confirmation email address, selected notification categories, timestamp, source URL, IP address, and user agent.
- URL scanning: URLs you submit for analysis. We do not log the identity of the submitter.
- General site visits: standard server logs (IP, browser, pages visited). Not linked to personal identity.
How We Use It
- To deliver the SMS notifications you signed up for.
- To confirm your identity during the double opt-in process.
- To maintain consent records for regulatory compliance.
- To detect fraud and abuse.
Third Parties
We use third-party providers only to deliver the services you requested — for example, SMS delivery via Twilio. These providers receive only what is necessary to perform their function and are not permitted to use your data for any other purpose.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share data with advertisers.
