OziShield is a public awareness and safety initiative that helps individuals and small businesses identify potential scam links, phishing pages, or fraudulent messages.
It is intended for educational and preventive purposes only — not as a substitute for official cybersecurity or law enforcement advice.

3. Nature of the Service

  • OziShield analyses links, messages, or screenshots to detect scam patterns and known phishing threats.

  • Results are generated automatically using algorithmic checks, public data, and verified security APIs.

  • The outcome of any scan should be viewed as indicative, not conclusive.

  • The tool does not guarantee that a link or message is completely safe.

4. Fair & Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse OziShield or its systems. Specifically, you will not:

  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, overload, or interfere with the scanner.

  • Submit illegal or malicious URLs (e.g. child exploitation, hate content).

  • Use automated scripts or bots to perform large-scale scans.

  • Impersonate others or falsely claim verification by OziShield.

Violation of these terms may result in access restrictions or legal action under applicable laws.

5. Accuracy and Disclaimer

While OziShield integrates data from trusted global sources (e.g., Google Safe Browsing, WhoisXML, and internal detection logic),

By using this service, you agree that all scans are performed at your own discretion and risk.
