How does Fakespot work?
Fakespot works by using artificial intelligence to analyze reviews, product info, seller info, and other aggregate data to identify and report on fake and unreliable eCommerce activity.
The results of our analysis are provided to you as Fakespot Review Grades and Adjusted Ratings, Guard Seller Ratings, and Review Highlights.

What do you do with the data Fakespot generates?
We use data only to improve our products and the accuracy of our results. We are privacy oriented because our founder is a security and privacy fanatic and everyone at Fakespot strongly believes that only you should control your data and not anyone else.
Simple Sign Up
We only ask for your email and a user-generated password when you sign up.
Limited Data, Big Impact
Unlike other sites, we do not need to know your full name, address, zip code, sex, or other pieces of personal information. That’s none of our business and it shouldn’t be anyone else's.
Why we need your email?
We use your email for synchronization of our apps across different platforms, user settings/ convenience, email marketing (you can always opt-out), platform maintenance, and account management (confirm/lost/reset passwords).
How do you make money?
At this time, Fakespot is 100% free and we do not generate any revenue. Our future plans do not include selling your data and never will.

Privacy Without Compromise
