1. Introduction

Emailyze ("we," "us," or "our") provides disposable email detection services via API and related products. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you use our services, visit our website, or interact with us. By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to provide and improve our services, enforce our terms, and comply with legal obligations.

Account information: When you register, we collect your email address, password (stored in hashed form), and any optional profile information you provide. We use this to create and manage your account, authenticate you, and communicate with you.

API usage data: When you use our API, we record usage metrics including, but not limited to: API key identifier (not the key value itself), timestamps, endpoints called, number of emails or domains checked, and error or status codes. We do not retain the full content of email addresses or domains you submit for verification beyond what is necessary for processing and transient logging. We may retain aggregated or anonymized usage statistics.

Feedback: When you submit feedback (e.g., false positive/negative reports), we collect the domain or email address you report, the type of feedback, and any comments you provide. We use this to improve our detection accuracy.

Technical data: We may collect IP address, browser type, device information, and similar technical data when you access our website or API. We use this for security, fraud prevention, and analytics.

Cookies: We use cookies and similar technologies for session management, authentication, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

4. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.

Feedback data may be retained indefinitely to improve our detection. You may request deletion of your personal data subject to the rights described below.
