Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Information We Collect

DeAuthor Me collects personal information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, physical address, date of birth, and other identifiers necessary to perform privacy scans on your behalf. We also collect usage data (such as pages visited and features used) to improve our service. We collect only the minimum data necessary to deliver your protection services.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your personal information is used exclusively to scan data broker sites, dark web databases, social media platforms, and other sources for exposures of your data, and to provide you with removal guidance. We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Data Security

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected using SSL/TLS encryption. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. To exercise these rights, you may submit a request through your account settings or by contacting us at [email protected]. We will respond to all data deletion requests within 30 days. DeAuthor Me is committed to honoring these rights as part of our privacy-first approach, and we are actively working toward formal compliance with applicable privacy regulations.

5. Cookies

DeAuthor Me uses essential cookies to maintain your login session and provide core functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to use the service.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, all personal data is permanently removed from our systems within 30 days. Anonymized, aggregated usage statistics may be retained indefinitely as they cannot be linked back to any individual.

7. Third-Party Services

DeAuthor Me may use third-party infrastructure providers (such as cloud hosting and database services) to operate the platform. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may not use it for any purpose other than providing services to DeAuthor Me.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by displaying a prominent notice within the application. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Contact Us

For privacy-related inquiries or to exercise your data rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to all privacy inquiries within 5 business days.
