Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2025/11/26

1. Introduction

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.

2. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We may collect limited personal information, including:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Payment information (processed by third-party payment providers)

Platform Login Information

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

Usage Data

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.

Publicly Available Breach Data (Cyber Threat Intelligence)

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.

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

2A. API Usage Data

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
  • Internal analytics

API usage data is never sold, rented, or shared for advertising purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Process transactions and provide payment confirmations through Stripe
  • 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

Where required by applicable laws, 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)

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

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for advertising, marketing, or unrelated services.

We may disclose or process data through:

  • Cloudflare, for security, caching, and DDoS protection. Cloudflare may process IP addresses and technical logs solely for service operation.
  • Payment processors, such as Stripe, which collect and use payment details in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Public breach-related content may be archived by third-party services such as the Internet Archive. 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.

5. Security

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.

Users acknowledge that viewing breach-related content may expose sensitive information and agree to access such material at their own discretion and risk.

6. Your Rights

Users may:

  • Access and update their account login email
  • Request the deletion of their user account (active subscriptions must complete their billing term before deletion)
  • Opt out of emails where applicable

Breach Data Removal Requests

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.

7. Third-Party Services

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.

8. Cookies and Tracking

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.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The most current version will always be available on our website, along with the last updated date. Continued use of the Services after any update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
