How SafeCircle Shield Works

All document and voice analysis happens directly on your device—nothing is sent to the cloud by default. Your PDFs, screenshots, and audio files never leave your phone. SafeCircle Shield uses advanced on-device AI to detect fraud patterns locally, ensuring complete privacy. You can optionally enable cloud double-checking for voice analysis if you want additional verification.

SafeCircle Shield can detect spoofed letters from government agencies (CRA, IRCC, Service Canada), fake bank correspondence, AI voice cloning in phone calls and voicemails, phishing emails, and template-based scams. The app checks for layout anomalies, font inconsistencies, EXIF metadata issues, and suspicious audio patterns. More fraud detection features like romance/investment scams and e-Transfer warnings are coming soon.

Yes! SafeCircle Shield works completely offline. All fraud detection happens on your device, so you can scan documents and check voicemails even without an internet connection. The app downloads verified template packs and fraud detection models to your phone, which update weekly when you're connected to Wi-Fi. Emergency contact numbers and action plans are also cached offline.

After scanning, you'll receive an instant verdict (Safe, Review, or Risk) with a plain-language explanation in English or French. For risky messages, SafeCircle provides a simple 1-2 step action plan with verified phone numbers you can tap to call the real bank, government agency, or police. You can also quickly redact personal information before sharing scan results with family members or caregivers.

Absolutely! SafeCircle Shield is designed with seniors in mind and includes accessibility features like large text and VoiceOver/TalkBack support. Our Family Seat plan allows a senior and their caregiver to share one subscription. Scan results can be safely shared with family members after redacting sensitive details. We've designed the interface to be simple and easy to understand for all ages.

Yes! SafeCircle Shield is available for both iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Android devices. All features work seamlessly across platforms. Billing is handled through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store, making subscription management simple and secure. You can also use optional web checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or Interac.

SafeCircle Shield's Voice Investigation feature analyzes audio patterns, speech artifacts, and other indicators to flag likely AI-generated voices. While no detection is 100% perfect, our on-device model is trained on the latest voice cloning techniques used by fraudsters. The app provides a confidence rating (Likely human, Unclear, or Suspect clone) and always recommends calling back on a verified number. You can optionally enable cloud double-checking for additional analysis.
