Questions and answers.
What a Check covers, what we never do, and where our work stops and your lawyer's begins.
Questions and answers.
Every other question we're asked is on the FAQ.
What does a Report actually look like?
Like our sample report: a complete example for Fern & Finch, a fictional florist, with every section a real Report has. Yours names the real companies your pages contact.
What if nothing is found?
Then your Check says so plainly, along with what it covered: one visit to one page. The Check is free either way. Other pages and later visits can differ, so if you'd like other pages looked at, a Report covers up to five.
Does this website track me?
Our site code uses no analytics, advertising pixels or session replay, and sets no analytics or advertising cookies. Its files come from our own domain. Cloudflare, our host, handles normal request information to deliver the pages.
Can I ask for a check of someone else's website?
No. A Pigeon Check goes only to the site's owner, or to someone the owner has asked to look after the site. We don't look into people or businesses for anyone.
Is this legal advice?
No. We record what your website does: which companies it contacts, when, and whether your policies name them. That record is useful to a lawyer, but we are not lawyers, and we don't write privacy policies.
Is this security testing?
No. We look at what your website loads and shows in public, the way a visitor's browser sees it. We don't test passwords, look for weaknesses or try to get in.
Can you promise my site will be fully protected?
No, and nobody can honestly promise that. We can show what your website does, make the changes you choose, and check again to show what changed.
Can you remove my information from data broker sites?
No. We work on your website and the public information you control, such as old pages, files and email settings. Removing personal information from data broker sites is a different kind of service.
