Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Last updated: January 18, 2025

This policy describes how the website https://privacysafe.app ("PrivacySafe.App") that is owned and operated by PrivacySafe Services LLC (“PrivacySafe”, "we", "our", "us"), collects, protects, and processes the information you may provide through the PrivacySafe.App website or its API ("website", "site", "software"). This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that PrivacySafe does not own or control, or to individuals that PrivacySafe does not employ or manage.

Let us state outright: we do not collect or sell your personal information. We collect what data is minimally necessary to conduct normal operations in the course of our business and for proper operation, diagnostics, and maintenance of our website. If you would like to submit a request for data erasure or deletion, please contact us at privacy@privacysafe.net

Our Commitment To Privacy

PrivacySafe is committed to complying with all data protection laws including but not limited to the GDPR and CCPA. We have conducted a LIA (Legitimate Interests Assessment) pursuant to the GDPR and determined that a DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) is unnecessary as the data we process is not likely to result in a high risk to individuals. We understand our responsibility to protect the individual’s interests. We have verified that the processing is necessary and there is no less intrusive way to achieve the same result. We have performed a balancing test and are confident that the individual parties’ interests do not override our legitimate interest. All data is used in ways that the individuals would reasonably expect and would not find intrusive. We review our LIA periodically and update it whenever circumstances change.

How do we secure data?

All information transmitted to PrivacySafe.App is encrypted using cryptographic protocols and tools. User information is subject to a network of internal controls. Staff are required to undergo training on the handling and processing of data. We perform audits on a consistent basis and review our security measures in response to changes in the industry and new legal requirements.

Cookies

We do not utilize cookies on this website.

Website Metrics

High-level traffic statistics are collected through our website via a self-hosted instance of the privacy-oriented Plausible.io at the domain privacysafe.click. Plausible counts users without cookies. Plausible is GDPR-compliant and goes to great lengths for anonymity of HTTP requests:

"Every single HTTP request sends the IP address and the User-Agent to the server so that’s what we use. We generate a daily changing identifier using the visitor’s IP address and User-Agent. To anonymize these datapoints and make them impossible to relate back to the user, we run them through a hash function with a rotating salt.

hash(daily_salt + website_domain + ip_address + user_agent)

This generates a random string of letters and numbers that is used to calculate unique visitor numbers for the day. The raw data IP address and User-Agent are never stored in our logs, databases or anywhere on disk at all.

Old salts are deleted every 24 hours to avoid the possibility of linking visitor information from one day to the next. Forgetting used salts also removes the possibility of the original IP addresses being revealed in a brute-force attack. The raw IP address and User-Agent are rendered completely inaccessible to anyone, including ourselves."

Information Sharing

We do not share information resulting from the use of our products and services unless we have a legally valid reason to do so. We reserve the right to disclose information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to: (1) protect ourselves against liability, fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity, (2) investigate and defend ourselves against substantive legal claims or allegations, (3) protect the integrity of our facilities or equipment used to produce or provide our products or services, or (4) protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements), or the rights, property, or safety of others.

PrivacySafe does not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from minors under the age of eighteen. If you have reason to believe a minor has disclosed personal information to PrivacySafe, please notify privacy@privacysafe.net immediately.
