Help whenever something feels off
Everything on this site's guides is free. Membership is for when you'd like a person to ask, and tools you can use yourself, without paying for a one-off consultation each time.
A person to ask
Message me during my support hours (Daily, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET) with screenshots, links or questions, and I'll reply in plain English.
An AI assistant, any time
Alds Privacy answers quick, general questions at any hour. It's an AI, so it can make mistakes, and it can't check live websites.
The Protection Suite
Tools to spot warning signs in stores, links and listings, write refund requests, and run a privacy checkup. See how they work.
Member guides
Extra step-by-step guides inside your account, with your progress saved.
Not sure it's right for you? Ask me first. I'll tell you honestly.
What I can and can't do
I can't recover money
I can't promise a refund. I can help you understand your options and write a clear request to the company, your card issuer or PayPal.
I can't promise safe or unsafe
I point out warning signs and tell you what I'd do. No one can guarantee a message, site or store is safe from a screenshot alone.
I'm not a lawyer or adviser
I share general education and practical experience. I'm not a lawyer, a bank or a financial adviser.
I'm not an emergency service
If you're in danger or being threatened, contact your local emergency services first. Please never send me passwords or card numbers.
