Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 25, 2025

IMPORTANT: Limited Data Storage Policy

OSINTDOG does NOT store any search queries or breach data on our servers. All breach data is accessed through external providers. We only store API keys and API usage data for our subscribers to provide and maintain our service.

1. Introduction

Welcome to OSINTDOG ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website or services. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect and store the following limited information:

  • API Keys: For subscribers, we store your API keys to provide access to our service.
  • API Usage Data: For subscribers, we collect and store basic data related to your API usage, including query types, timestamps, and frequency. This helps us monitor service usage and prevent abuse.

We also collect but do NOT store:

  • Contact Form Information: When you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message. This information is transmitted directly through a Discord webhook and is NOT stored on our servers.
  • Basic Analytics Data: We collect standard web analytics information such as IP address and pages visited. This information is processed by third-party analytics providers.

Important: We do NOT store any search queries or breach data on our servers. All searches are processed through external providers, and we do not maintain any records of the actual search content or results.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain our service, including API access for subscribers
  • To monitor API usage and prevent abuse of our service
  • To respond to your inquiries and support requests
  • To process payments and manage subscriptions through our payment processors

All breach data is accessed through external providers. OSINTDOG itself does not store search queries or breach data on our servers.

4. Your Rights

Under GDPR and similar privacy regulations, you have the following rights:

  • Right to Access: You can request access to the API usage data we store about you.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
  • Right to Erasure: You can request that we erase your API keys and usage data from our systems. All data removal requests are processed completely free of charge.
  • Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • Right to Object to Processing: You can object to our processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our contact form or via email. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

5. Data Removal

You can request removal of your API keys and usage data from our database at any time, completely free of charge. We do not charge any fees for data removal requests as this is your fundamental right under data protection laws.

To submit a removal request, use our contact form and select "Data Removal Request" as the subject. Please provide specific details about the information you want removed.

We will process your request as quickly as possible and notify you once completed.

6. External Providers

Our service accesses breach data through external providers. These include:

  • External API providers for data breach information
  • Payment processors for handling subscriptions
  • Discord for contact form submissions
  • Analytics providers for basic website usage statistics

Each of these providers has their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We select providers that comply with applicable data protection laws, but we do not control how they process your data.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect the limited data we store (API keys and usage data) against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures include:

  • Encryption of sensitive data
  • Regular security assessments
  • Access controls and authentication procedures
  • Secure data transmission protocols

However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

IMPORTANT

Note for Transparency: OSINTDOG is an independent project run by a under-age developer committed to respecting user privacy. Although I proxy third-party API data through my own service, I do not store, modify, or analyze the breach data in any way. All third-party providers I use (such as for data breaches, payments, and analytics) are GDPR-compliant and operate under valid Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) as required by law.
