If your subscription includes API access, continued use requires an active, paid subscription. Expired or unpaid subscriptions will lose access.

Portions of the content on Dark Web Informer, including summaries, analysis, and classifications, may be generated or assisted by Artificial Intelligence. AI can produce inaccuracies, errors, or "hallucinations."

You should independently verify all critical information before taking action based on content provided through our Services. Dark Web Informer is not responsible for decisions made based on AI-generated content.

The Service may contain links, references, or URLs to external sites hosted by threat actors, including dark web leak sites, forums, and marketplaces. Accessing such external links is done entirely at your own risk.

Dark Web Informer is not responsible for any malware, viruses, exploits, phishing attempts, or other security threats encountered on third-party sites referenced within our content.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Dark Web Informer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the website, API, or related services, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dark Web Informer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from: (i) your use of the Service; (ii) your violation of these Terms; or (iii) your violation of any third-party right or applicable law.

Dark Web Informer shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations where such failure results from any cause beyond reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation, denial of service attacks (DDoS), other cyber-attacks, natural disasters, acts of government, pandemic, or civil unrest.

These Terms are governed by applicable laws. By using the Services, you agree that any disputes will be resolved through appropriate legal channels.

We may update these Terms periodically. The most current version will always be available on our website. We will provide notice of material changes via the website or email. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Dark Web Informer maintains a Transparency Report documenting legal requests and actions taken.

Takedown requests must meet the requirements outlined in that Report. Requests lacking legal documentation may be denied.

We are not responsible for the availability of archived or externally preserved public data.

Dark Web Informer may use third-party services to preserve and display publicly available breach data. These services operate independently, and their data handling is not governed by our Terms.

We also route traffic through third-party security and infrastructure providers for caching, DDoS protection, and threat mitigation. These providers may process IP addresses and technical metadata solely for service operation.

Leaked data may remain accessible through independent sources beyond our control.

Advertisers must comply with all applicable laws and cannot include misleading, fraudulent, or illegal content.

Tracking scripts, cookies, and user data collection by advertisers are prohibited.

We reserve the right to remove or modify advertisements without notice.

Advertisers assume full responsibility for their content. Dark Web Informer is not liable for interactions with advertised services.

Dark Web Informer republishes unredacted breach-related data sourced exclusively from publicly available Dark Web, Deep Web, and Surface Web locations.

This information may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, usernames, passwords, financial information, government-issued IDs, medical records, IP addresses, and sensitive corporate data.

Dark Web Informer does not create, originate, or alter breach data. We do not control the systems or sources from which the data was leaked. This data is republished for cybersecurity research, defense awareness, and public interest.

If your jurisdiction restricts access to leaked or exposed data, you are responsible for compliance with your local laws.

You may submit a formal takedown request through our Transparency Report, but removal is not guaranteed. Requests must include valid legal documentation proving ownership or direct association with the data.

Requests to delete personal information do not apply to publicly leaked breach data, as we do not control its origin or continued availability.

If you access the API, the following additional terms apply:

API keys must be kept confidential. You are responsible for all activity conducted under your key. If a key is compromised, you must notify us immediately.

The API may be used only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms. You may use API data within your own internal tools, dashboards, workflows, or security systems. You may not:

• Resell, sublicense, republish, or redistribute Dark Web Informer's API data to any third party
• Use the API to create a competing public API or commercial service based primarily on Dark Web Informer's output
• Attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, or access controls
• Engage in abusive behavior such as scraping, flooding, or denial-of-service activity

We may impose quotas, data caps, or other controls to protect service stability. Exceeding limits may result in throttling or temporary or permanent suspension.

We reserve the right to revoke or suspend API access at any time if misuse or abuse is suspected. No refunds or credits will be provided for terminations caused by violations.

All API data, including breach-related content, is provided "as is" for cybersecurity awareness and research only. No warranties are provided regarding accuracy, completeness, or reliability.

Dark Web Informer uses only essential cookies required for login, session management, basic functionality, and security. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, behavioral analytics, or third-party marketing technologies.
