The Real Story Behind Plagiarism Checkers 

• You may read a brief analysis of plagiarism detection tools written by PaperDueNow researchers here. We made the decision to respond to a few significant inquiries about plagiarism checkers: 
• Is software that detects plagiarism secure? Your data is it protected? What happens to the content that is submitted? 
• Are these services truly free, or are there any additional costs? 
• Are plagiarism detectors trustworthy and useful? 

How Did We Choose Services? 

We used terms like "plagiarism software," "online plagiarism detection," "plagiarism scanner," "plagiarism analysis," "plagiarism test," and "online plagiarism checker" to conduct our search on the web. After that, we looked around on websites we discovered and compiled a list of resources. We recognized free tools and ineffective tools (the latter were removed from the list). We eventually received a list of 32 websites. 

What We Tested and How 

We looked at the Terms of Service, Frequently Asked Questions, Privacy Policy, Disclaimers, and other parts on every website. Finding any information on licensing, data protection, liability restrictions, the service's location, and the use of submitted content was our aim. Additionally, we contrasted the location indicated on each service's website with the WHOIS database. We occasionally have to search social media for further information. 

Conclusion 

Everyday users of plagiarism detection software include students, copywriters, website owners, online marketers, professors, and a large number of others. Our research's findings indicate that many of these tools pose a threat to the security of personal information. The supplied content is stored and used by numerous plagiarism checkers. The majority of free plagiarism detectors don't offer precise information about their location or the content's use. Some owners of plagiarism detection software are able to publish your writing under your name and utilise it for their own gain. 

Our study's findings help to understand why online plagiarism checkers are drawn to a steady stream of new content. The majority of tools just use a few sources to look for plagiarism. Every day, they create thousands of new web pages to increase the effectiveness of their services. Given that these businesses store your content, copyright infringement are very likely. Additionally, these businesses reserve the right to at any time amend their privacy policies and terms of service. 

These businesses might utilize your content in a variety of ways. Your content might be used, for instance, in so-called "content-spinning" programs, which summarize articles to create new content on the same subjects. Therefore, by providing fresh content to spinning services, writers themselves reduce the originality of their own work.
