Method

How the check works

SafeCodeScan decodes the payload locally, separates readable parts such as protocol, host, path and parameters, then explains common warning signs in plain language.

Limits

No result is a guarantee

A code can change behavior after you open a destination. Always verify the source, the displayed domain and the context before entering data or making payments.

Does this send data to a server?

No product lookup is performed in the MVP, so no barcode is sent away.

Is the result guaranteed?

No. SafeCodeScan gives cautious hints and local checks, not a guarantee.

Can I use it on mobile?

Yes. The interface is mobile-first and supports camera or local generator workflows.
