WFH.team does not store submitted message or description text, email local parts, identity documents, banking details, or raw IP addresses. Counts are published only after at least 10 checks; individual community reports are not published.",
    "limitations": "A risk score is evidence-based triage, not a determination that a person, domain, employer, or job is fraudulent. Submission patterns reflect WFH.team users and may include duplicates or incomplete context. Community-flagged domains are labeled separately from independently verified indicators.",
