26I built TrustScan because I was frustrated with privacy tools that ask you to trust them while uploading your sensitive files to their servers. Every TrustScan tool runs 100% in your browser - zero uploads, zero tracking. Built by a cybersecurity professional who actually uses these tools daily.
I think it will be so good with privacy
Great idea. good luck with launch.

The client-side-only architecture is the actual product differentiator here, not just a technical detail. Most privacy tools have an obvious problem: they ask you to trust them with your sensitive data to check if your sensitive data is safe. The PDF metadata stripper use case is particularly underrated — freelancers routinely send documents with location data, author names, and edit history baked in, and most have no idea. The AI training opt-out hub is a smart timely addition given how many platforms have buried those settings in obscure account preference pages. Would be curious to see a 'quick audit' flow added someday — something that runs the privacy law check + website audit together based on just a URL + country, so someone can get a full compliance snapshot in one step.
Love this idea! A 'quick audit' flow combining the privacy law check + website audit from a single URL is exactly the kind of thing I want to build next. Right now you can try both separately — run your site through the Website Privacy Audit (trustscan.dev/tools/website-audit) and then check which laws apply with the Privacy Law Checker. Takes about 2 minutes total. But a one-click combined flow is going on the roadmap. Thanks for the suggestion!
Really appreciate the client-side architecture approach — processing sensitive files locally eliminates the trust paradox most privacy tools face. The PDF metadata stripper is particularly valuable for professionals who unknowingly share location and authorship data in their documents. Would love to see browser extension support added in the future for quick access.
Browser extension is definitely on the roadmap! Imagine right-clicking any privacy policy page and getting an instant risk breakdown. For now, the Privacy Policy Simplifier (trustscan.dev/tools/privacy-policy-simplifier) works from any browser — just paste a URL and get a full report with risk scoring and downloadable PDF in ~10 seconds. Try it on any site you use daily, the results are eye-opening.
We build small, fast, meaningful apps.
Great idea and interesting.

Smart move making everything client-side. The AI training opt-out hub is a great addition since those settings are buried deep in most platforms. Would be useful to see a compliance score or summary after running audits so users can quickly share results with their team.
Great suggestion! The Website Privacy Audit already generates a trust score out of 100 with a breakdown — try it at trustscan.dev/tools/website-audit. You can also download a branded PDF report from the Privacy Policy Simplifier to share with your team. A combined compliance dashboard is something I'm thinking about for v2.

This looks like a really useful tool. I like the "100% client-side" aspect, this will resonate big time with DPOs
Thanks Ross! DPOs have been exactly the audience I had in mind. The Privacy Policy Simplifier (trustscan.dev/tools/privacy-policy-simplifier) now generates downloadable PDF reports too — useful for quick vendor assessments. Would love to hear what a DPO's workflow needs look like if you have any feedback after trying it.
Great ideea. It's really helpful.

very useful tool for privacy concern
Congrats on the launch! 🛡️ In an era where phishing and online scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, a tool like TrustScan is essential for both consumers and businesses. I really appreciate how this simplifies the 'trust' factor, making the internet a bit safer for everyone. Being able to verify the credibility of a site at a glance is a huge productivity and security win. Wishing you a very successful launch and looking forward to seeing this gain more traction! 🚀
Thank you! The trust factor is exactly why everything runs client-side. Just shipped a new tool — the Privacy Policy Simplifier — that analyzes any privacy policy with AI and flags the red flags most people miss. Try it at trustscan.dev/tools/privacy-policy-simplifier with any company you're curious about. Discord and LinkedIn results were eye-opening.
A masterclass in how privacy tools should be built: no accounts, no tracking, and 100% browser-based. The AI Opt-Out Hub alone makes this worth bookmarking. Solid project with a very clear value prop!
Thanks! The AI Opt-Out Hub keeps growing — it covers 30+ platforms now. We just shipped a Privacy Policy Simplifier too (trustscan.dev/tools/privacy-policy-simplifier) that decodes any company's policy into plain English with risk scores. Try running a company you use daily through it — most people are surprised by what they find.

good good working product

keep it up man it's good
Great tool for those having sensitive data
This is exactly what we need now that everything is being stored on the cloud and used by LLMs and AI agents. Appreciate you for building in this space.

TrustScan.dev is one of those rare tools that actually lives up to its privacy-first promise and it does it in a refreshingly no-nonsense way. The 100% client-side architecture is quite impressive! Every single tool (Privacy Law Checker, Website Privacy Audit, PDF Metadata Stripper, AI Training Opt-Out Hub, Browser Fingerprint Analyzer, etc.) runs entirely in your browser. Zero bytes leave your machine. Most people have no idea their PDFs are leaking author names, GPS coordinates, edit history, or even recoverable “deleted” content. One-click stripping with a full before/after preview is the kind of practical win that makes the whole site worth bookmarking. The Privacy Law Checker is gold! Instead of hiring a $400/hr lawyer for a 30-minute GDPR consult, you answer seven questions and get a risk score, fine exposure estimate, compliance checklist, and heatmap. It covers 30+ regimes and is designed to be updated as laws change. Huge time/money saver. Huge props to the builder. This is excellent work!! 🎯👍
Love the client-side approach — “your data never leaves the browser” is a strong trust signal, especially for privacy tooling. Curious how you balance depth vs. privacy though: for example, can you still provide meaningful compliance insights without server-side aggregation? Feels like there’s a bigger opportunity here to become a “continuous privacy monitor” rather than just a one-time audit tool.

Especially useful if someone is planning to launch their product in Europe.
