GACS Security Policy

One place to read how Global Anti-Crime & Safety handles fraud, email, your privacy and the rules for using the service.

Updated 26 October 2026

1. Anti-fraud stance

GACS (Global Anti-Crime & Safety) is an independent, public-benefit fraud-education and scam-checking service. We check websites, links, phone numbers, emails, public wallet addresses and social accounts for reported fraud and warning signs.
GACS is not a trading app, broker, exchange, investment platform or crypto wallet. We do not execute trades, hold funds or offer trading signals or profit promises.
GACS does not recover stolen money and never charges victims recovery fees. Anyone promising recovery in our name should be treated as a scam.
We never ask for bank passwords, seed phrases, private keys or payment-card details to run a check. Optional paid services use a payment provider's secure checkout.
We do not accept payment to add, remove or hide anyone in the scam registry. Listed parties can file an appeal, which is reviewed on the evidence.
Scan results are evidence signals, not proof of guilt or a guarantee that something is safe. We direct victims to official reporting agencies.

Genuine GACS email comes only from addresses ending in @gacs.app, including automatic account and alert emails sent from notify.gacs.app.
The gacs.app domain publishes SPF and DKIM records so receiving mail services can verify that a message really came from an approved GACS sender.
The domain also publishes a DMARC policy that tells receiving services how to treat messages that fail those checks. The last recorded DNS check, on 26 October 2026, showed a monitoring-only policy (p=none). We will update this page with the date once a stricter policy is confirmed live.
DMARC protects against direct spoofing of @gacs.app addresses. It does not stop lookalike domains or fake display names, so always check the full sender address.
GACS never sends bulk promotional email you did not sign up for, and never asks you to reply with passwords or payment details.

We collect only what is needed to run checks, accounts, alerts and reports. Scam-report evidence and reporter details are kept separate from the public registry.
The public registry lists the identifiers used by reported scams (such as a website, phone number or wallet address) so people can look them up. It does not publish victims' personal details.
We collect basic usage analytics (page views, device type, approximate region) to run the service and detect automated abuse. We do not sell personal data or run ad tracking.
You can access, correct, export or delete your personal data by emailing privacy@gacs.app; we respond within 30 days.

Scam checks, education and alerts are provided for information. They are not legal, financial or investment advice.
Takedown notices and evidence packs are drafting aids. You should review them before submitting, and GACS does not control platform decisions.
You must not use GACS to harass people, submit false reports or attempt to break, overload or scrape the service.
Paid plans and their renewal terms are shown at checkout before you pay.

If you find a vulnerability on gacs.app, please report it privately through our responsible-disclosure page and give us reasonable time to fix it before sharing details.
If a browser or antivirus warns about GACS, do not switch off your protection. Record the address, detection name and time, and contact us through a channel you can verify.

GACS is an independent service, not a government agency and not currently a registered nonprofit. Questions about this policy? Contact us.
