🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN
Nudge protects you without spying on you. Website scoring happens on your device using a local domain database. For unknown sites, only the domain name and page type are sent for AI analysis — never your browsing history, emails, passwords, or personal information. We don't sell your data, we don't track you, we don't show ads.
💡 WHY NUDGE IS FREE
Nudge participates in affiliate programs with verified safe websites. When you shop at trusted sites Nudge has verified, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. This keeps Nudge free for everyone. Affiliate relationships never influence safety scores — sites are rated based on objective signals only.
