You can independently audit our zero-upload claim in three ways: (1) Open Chrome/Firefox DevTools (F12), go to the Network tab, and run a scan — you will see zero outbound payloads containing code. (2) Run Wireshark or tcpdump during a CLI scan to confirm zero external packet egress. (3) Enable Airplane Mode and verify both the browser sandbox and CLI scanner operate flawlessly offline. See our Security & Trust page for detailed audit steps.
Yes. Our production site enforces strict connect-src CSP headers that restrict outbound connections to auth and billing endpoints only (https://simplebeacon.ai, Stripe, Cloudflare Insights). The browser itself hard-blocks any accidental or rogue code upload attempt that violates this policy. You can inspect our headers with curl -I https://simplebeacon.ai/dashboard/.
