Does Shopeye work everywhere?

Shopeye works on most online stores worldwide. It analyzes the store you're currently viewing, regardless of country or language. Some very new or heavily restricted sites may have limited data available.

Yes. Shopeye is free to install and use. No subscription or hidden fees.

How does the risk assessment work?

Shopeye combines verified signals into a 0–100 score when coverage is high enough. Missing data (no reviews, no e-mærket) is not treated as high risk—we show coverage and confidence instead. Critical conflicts with official registries can override the average. We explain what pulls the score down, what supports it, and what we could not verify.

Shopeye uses AI to summarize findings in plain language and answer questions about the store you're viewing. It works on the analysis data we collect—not on your personal browsing history.

Do you store browsing history?

No. Shopeye only analyzes the page you're currently viewing. We don't track your browsing across sites, build profiles, or sell your data.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Shopeye is available as a browser extension for Chrome and Safari, on desktop and mobile (iOS).

What Mit digitale selvforsvar is strongest at

Mit digitale selvforsvar is a free app from Forbrugerrådet Tænk and TrygFonden. According to Forbrugerrådet Tænk's page about the app, it keeps you updated on the newest digital scam and warns about scam via fake emails, texts, competitions, webshops, and calls.

You can get notifications when there are scam emails, fake texts, or other scam in circulation, tip about threats, and share tips with trusted friends. The app is available for iOS and Android.

This makes Mit digitale selvforsvar particularly strong as a current alert tool: knowing which tricks are running right now.

What Mit digitale selvforsvar is not designed for

Mit digitale selvforsvar is built for awareness and current warnings — not for a live background check of every webshop you visit while you shop.

The app can warn about shopping-related scam as a method. It does not necessarily give you an automatic overview of VAT, return address, or dropshipping patterns for the webshop you are in the middle of buying from. Absence of a current warning also does not mean an unknown webshop has been reviewed for you.

That is the purpose: broad, current situational awareness — not a deep shopping analysis on the site you are visiting.

What Shopeye investigates

Shopeye investigates the webshop while you are on it and collects multiple signals in one assessment. According to What we check, this includes known digital threats, domain age, company information and CVR/VAT, e-mærket when it can be verified, return policy and return address, payment methods, independent reviews, and signs of problematic trading or dropshipping patterns.

Current campaigns are not Shopeye's main purpose — the focus is the webshop you are on.

Shopeye's limitations

Shopeye provides a risk assessment, not a guarantee.
Information may be missing, outdated, or interpreted incorrectly.
A low risk result does not guarantee a good buying experience.
You should read the individual findings and make your own decision.
A check that could not be completed is not automatically negative — the assessment is just based on less information.

When should you use what?

Mit digitale selvforsvar is best for: "What should I watch out for right now?"

Shopeye is best for: "What can I see about this webshop before I buy?"

Current SMS, email, or phone campaigns: Mit digitale selvforsvar gives the fastest overview of what is in circulation.
Unknown webshop without current warning: Absence of warning is not a full check of company or returns. Here a comprehensive check is more relevant.
You want to follow along and see behind the webshop: That can be relevant for unknown webshops, larger purchases, or when information points in different directions.

Conclusion

Mit digitale selvforsvar warns about current scam campaigns. Shopeye collects more information and risk signals about the specific webshop. Neither replaces the other — and neither removes the need for your own assessment before you pay.
