Dark Web Informer ("we," "our," "us") is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose your information when you access our website, API, or related services.

By accessing or using Dark Web Informer, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access our services.

Subscriber Data: Information you provide to us to create an account, log in, and pay for services. This includes your name, email address, and payment information. This Privacy Policy fully applies to Subscriber Data.

Intelligence Data: Information regarding ransomware victims, threat actors, data breaches, and leak sites displayed on our platform. This data is aggregated from publicly available sources on the Dark Web, Deep Web, and Surface Web. This Privacy Policy does not apply to Intelligence Data, which is provided for cybersecurity research purposes "as is."

Dark Web Informer does not create, alter, or originate breach data and does not possess or control the systems from which such data originated.

We may collect limited personal information, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Email address for logging into DarkWebInformer.com
• Email address for logging in through cryptocurrency-based payment systems

Financial information such as credit card numbers, card brands, and expiration dates is collected when you purchase a subscription. We do not store your full payment card details. All financial information is stored and processed by our third-party payment processor in accordance with their own privacy policy.

We may collect technical and transactional metadata automatically generated during account access and payment activity. This includes IP addresses, timestamps, device or browser details, and similar diagnostic information.

Dark Web Informer collects, analyzes, and republishes publicly available breach-related data from the Dark Web, Deep Web, and Surface Web. This information may include:

Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, usernames, passwords, financial details, government-issued IDs (including Social Security Numbers, passport numbers, and driver's license numbers), medical records, IP addresses, and corporate-sensitive data.

This data is sourced from threat actor leak sites, forums, code repositories, and other publicly accessible platforms. It is collected exclusively for cybersecurity research, threat intelligence, and public awareness.

When you access our API services, we may automatically collect and store information such as:

• IP address and approximate geographic region (for security and abuse prevention)
• Endpoint requests, parameters, headers, and timestamps
• API authentication data (API keys or tokens)
• Error logs and diagnostic data
• Rate-limit or security event details

API usage data is used only for service operation, authentication, rate limit enforcement, abuse detection, debugging, security analysis, and internal analytics.

We use the collected information to:

• Process transactions and provide payment confirmations through our payment processor
• Communicate with users, including purchase notifications and service-related updates
• Operate, maintain, and secure the website, platform, and API
• Prevent abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access
• Improve functionality, performance, and reliability of our services
• Comply with applicable laws, court orders, and law enforcement requests

Where required by applicable laws (including GDPR and CCPA), we process personal information based on:

• Contractual necessity - for login, subscriptions, and API access
• Legitimate interests - cybersecurity research, threat intelligence, fraud prevention
• User consent - where explicitly required
• Legal compliance - to meet regulatory obligations

Publicly available breach data is processed under legitimate interests for cybersecurity awareness, research, and threat monitoring.

We may disclose or process data through:

• Security and infrastructure providers - for security, caching, and DDoS protection. These providers may process IP addresses and technical logs solely for service operation.
• Payment processors - which collect and use payment details in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Public breach-related content may be archived by third-party services. These services operate independently, and their handling of data is not governed by this Privacy Policy.

Breach-related information is sourced from publicly available leaks and may be indexed by search engines, independent researchers, or cybersecurity organizations.

If Dark Web Informer reorganizes or sells all or a portion of its assets, undergoes a merger, or is acquired by another entity, we may transfer your information to the successor entity. In such an event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users and ensure that the successor entity honors the commitments made in this Privacy Policy.

Our servers and data processing operations may be located in multiple jurisdictions. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to jurisdictions where our infrastructure operates.

For EU/EEA users, where data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.

We take significant measures to protect user information from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or misuse.

• API keys must be kept confidential by users and should be revoked immediately if compromised
• We use encryption, rate limiting, anomaly detection, access controls, and monitoring to protect our systems
• API usage logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary, typically up to 12 months, unless extended for security investigations, abuse prevention, or legal requirements

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access - You have the right to request copies of your personal data
• Right to Rectification - You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") - You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions
• Right to Restrict Processing - You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data
• Right to Object - You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data
• Right to Data Portability - You have the right to request transfer of your data to another organization, where applicable

Users may also access and update their account login email, request the deletion of their user account (active subscriptions must complete their billing term before deletion), and opt out of emails where applicable.

These rights apply to Subscriber Data only. They do not extend to Intelligence Data sourced from publicly available breaches.

Dark Web Informer does not guarantee the removal of breach-related information that has already entered the public domain. Individuals or organizations may request redaction by submitting a formal takedown request as described in our Transparency Report.

Requests must include legal documentation demonstrating ownership or direct association with the affected data.

Requests to delete personal information do not apply to breach-related content sourced from public leaks, as we do not control the original source or its continued public availability.

We reserve the right to deny takedown requests unless legally obligated to comply.

To operate Dark Web Informer efficiently, we work with carefully selected third-party providers that assist with:

• Content management and platform authentication
• Secure payments and subscription management
• Cryptocurrency transactions
• Security, caching, and threat protection

These providers process data only as necessary to deliver their services and operate under their own privacy policies.

Dark Web Informer does not use tracking scripts, marketing cookies, or behavioral advertising technologies.

Dark Web Informer may use minimal cookies required for:

• Authentication
• Session management
• Security
• Basic functionality

We do not use cookies for ad tracking, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking. We do not use analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing technologies.

Dark Web Informer is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 18.

If you become aware of any data we have collected from individuals under age 18, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action to remove such information immediately.
