# About GTG Beacon

## Purpose

Beacon lets you look up any phone number and see its scam risk score in seconds. Enter a number, and we return carrier details, reputation data, and GTG proprietary risk score, so you can decide whether to pick up, ignore, block, or respond to the call or text message.

## Why Do We Ask You to Sign In with Google

Signing in with your Google account lets us

1. Recognize you by email so your saved lookups and settings appear on every device
2. Store your personal preferences securely in the cloud

We do **not** read Gmail, contacts, or other personal Google data.
