Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 September 2026
Who we are
Chekka is a product of Buy Buddy Holdings Pty Ltd (ACN 681 994 347), trading as Chekka Intelligence, based in Perth, Western Australia. You can contact us at privacy@chekka.ai.
What this covers
This policy covers chekka.ai, including our market research survey and scam story submissions. The Chekka application at app.chekka.ai is covered by its own terms.
The survey
If you take our survey, we collect the answers you give. Depending on which questions you answer, that may include your age range, gender, country and state, occupation, how you currently deal with suspicious messages, and your views on the product.
We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number, and you do not need an account to take part.
We also record technical information: the type of device you used, your browser's user agent, the website that referred you, and any campaign parameters in the link you followed. We generate a random identifier and store it in your browser so you can resume a part-finished survey.
Scam stories
If you submit a scam story, we collect what you write and any screenshot you upload. Please do not include your own name, phone number or address, and please remove other people's personal details from screenshots before uploading.
We may publish stories to help others recognise similar scams. If we do, we remove identifying details first.
Free check rewards
If you complete the survey we may give you a single-use code for a free check.
The code is not linked to your survey response in our records. We deliberately do not store which code was given to which respondent, and we do not record when a code was claimed, so that a survey answer cannot be traced back to a person.
If you redeem the code on a Chekka account, that account's records show a reward was redeemed. Your survey answers are not attached to it.
Page visits
We count visits to pages on chekka.ai. We do not use cookies for this. We create a daily-rotating identifier by combining the date, your IP address and your browser's user agent, then converting it into a value that cannot be reversed. We do not store your IP address itself. The identifier changes every day, so we cannot follow a visitor over time.
Early access signups
If you join our early access list we collect your name, email address, and anything you write in the message field. We use it to contact you about Chekka. We do not sell it or pass it to anyone for their own marketing.
Where your information is stored
Survey responses, stories, page counts and early access signups are stored in Supabase. Survey responses are also copied to a Google Sheet that only we can access. Uploaded screenshots are stored in Supabase.
How long we keep it
We keep survey responses and stories while they remain useful for building and improving Chekka. We keep early access signups until you ask us to remove you.
Getting your information deleted
Email privacy@chekka.ai and we will delete what we hold.
For early access signups, tell us the email address you signed up with.
For a survey response, we need the identifier stored in your browser, because we hold nothing else that connects a response to you. If you still have the browser you used, we can tell you how to find it. If you no longer have it, we will not be able to identify your response — which is a consequence of not collecting anything that identifies you in the first place.
If you have redeemed a reward code, we cannot reverse that, because nothing in our records connects the code to your survey response.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, contact us at privacy@chekka.ai. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top.
