About Email Privacy

? What is the Email Privacy Tool?

The Email Privacy tool on pcjow.com is a free utility that checks whether an email address is exposed or visible in the source code of a given website. If email addresses are publicly accessible in HTML, they can be harvested by spambots, leading to spam, phishing, and privacy breaches.

This tool helps website owners protect their email addresses from being misused.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

When you enter a website URL, the tool:

  • Scans the page’s HTML source code

  • Looks for plain text or mailto email addresses

  • Detects whether any emails are exposed to crawlers

  • Displays any found email addresses and their context on the page

This helps you understand if your contact info is vulnerable and take action to obfuscate or protect it.

? Who Should Use It?

This tool is essential for:

  • Website owners checking for exposed email addresses

  • Developers ensuring contact info is protected from bots

  • Digital marketers reducing risk of email spam

  • Privacy-conscious users managing personal or business contact visibility

  • Security teams auditing site privacy settings
