Who we are
EscudoUSDT is an educational website about security and fraud prevention involving USDT (Tether) transfers. It is operated as an independent informational project and is not a crypto exchange, broker, wallet provider or financial institution.
For the purposes of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law No. 13,709/2018), we act as the controller of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach the data protection contact at contact@escudousdt.com.
Scope of this policy
This policy applies to the pages served on this site, including the main page, this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. It does not apply to third-party sites, apps, exchanges or wallets you may reach through links, even when a link was shared by us.
Using the site does not create an advisory relationship of any kind. The tools only analyze text you provide, locally, and are meant to support your own verification.
Data you type into the tools
The address checker, the link analyzer and the pre-send checklist run entirely in your browser, using JavaScript loaded from this site. The text you paste is not transmitted, stored or logged by us.
- USDT addresses: checked only against format patterns (TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20) and the network you select. No blockchain query is made.
- Links: parsed locally for common phishing signals such as shorteners, IP hosts, punycode and bait words. The link is not opened.
- Checklist: the checked state lives in the page's memory and disappears when you reload or close the tab.
Because this data never reaches our servers, we cannot read it, recover it or share it. Reloading the page clears everything you typed.
Data collected automatically
Like most websites, the infrastructure that hosts this site (and any measurement service we use) may automatically record technical information when a page is requested, such as:
- IP address, used to deliver the page and protect the service;
- date and time of access, requested page and referring URL;
- browser, operating system, device type and language;
- error and performance diagnostics.
This information is used to keep the site available, prevent abuse and understand aggregate traffic. It is not used to build advertising profiles of individual visitors, and it is not combined with the addresses or links you paste into the tools.
Third-party services
To keep the site fast and measurable, a small number of third-party services may be loaded when you open a page:
- Google Fonts: typography files are requested from Google servers, which receive your IP address and browser information as part of the request.
- Hosting provider: serves the static files and keeps technical access logs for security and availability.
- Traffic measurement frame: a small embedded frame (1×1 pixel, positioned off-screen) is used to count page views and channel attribution. It may set identifiers and record referral parameters.
We do not sell personal data, do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising by us, and do not disclose the content of the tools' inputs — because we never receive it.
Legal bases under the LGPD
Where the LGPD applies, processing relies on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interest (art. 7, IX): keeping the site secure, preventing abuse and measuring aggregate traffic.
- Consent (art. 7, I): whenever a third-party component requires it, such as non-essential cookies that you choose to accept.
- Compliance with legal obligations (art. 7, II): retaining records when required by law or by a competent authority.
- Exercise of rights (art. 7, VI): responding to requests you send us.
Your rights
Under the LGPD you may, at any time, request:
- confirmation that your personal data is processed, and access to it;
- correction of incomplete, inaccurate or outdated data;
- anonymization, blocking or deletion of unnecessary or excessive data;
- information about sharing and about the possibility of not providing consent, including its consequences;
- deletion of data processed with consent, subject to legal retention duties;
- portability, where applicable and regulated by the ANPD;
- information about the entities with which we shared data;
- revocation of consent.
Send requests to contact@escudousdt.com. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity before responding, and we will reply within the periods set by the LGPD. You also have the right to petition the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).
Data retention
Text entered into the tools is never stored by us, so there is nothing to retain. Technical access logs held by the hosting provider are kept only for as long as needed for security, diagnostics and legal compliance, and are then deleted or anonymized.
Correspondence sent by email is kept for as long as necessary to handle your request and to comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
International transfers
Some third-party providers — such as font delivery and hosting infrastructure — may process technical data outside Brazil. When that happens, the transfer relies on the mechanisms allowed by the LGPD, including standard contractual clauses and providers' own compliance programs.
Children and adolescents
The site is aimed at adults dealing with crypto transfers and is not directed at children or adolescents. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has sent us personal data, contact us so we can delete it.
Security
We adopt reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site, including HTTPS delivery, restricted access to infrastructure and minimization of the data we handle. A fundamental design choice is that sensitive inputs — addresses, links, checklist answers — never leave your device.
No system is completely secure. If you suspect a vulnerability, please report it to contact@escudousdt.com before disclosing it publicly.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the site, in third-party services or in the law. The date at the top of the page always indicates the current version. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page. Continuing to use the site after an update means you have read the revised policy.
