Privacy Policy

Deletemyleaks LLC is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights over it.

1.Who we are

Deletemyleaks LLC is a DMCA takedown and content monitoring service for digital content creators. For privacy-related inquiries, contact us at [email protected].

2.What data we collect

We collect only what is necessary to run the service.

Account information

When you create an account we collect your email address, name, and creator username or handle. This is used solely to create and manage your account.

Content submitted for monitoring

Images, screenshots, or video thumbnails you upload for leak detection. These are used exclusively to identify your content across the web. They are not shared with third parties for any other purpose.

Payment and billing

Payments are handled by a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. We store your subscription status and billing history. Your full card number is never stored on our servers — only a tokenized reference provided by the payment processor.

Usage data

Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and timestamps. Used for security, debugging, and service quality. Not used for advertising.

3.How we use your data

We use your data to:

  • Run the leak monitoring and DMCA takedown service you subscribed to.
  • File DMCA notices on your behalf with infringing hosts and search engines.
  • Send account and billing emails (no marketing emails without opt-in).
  • Improve detection accuracy for your specific content.
  • Maintain security and prevent fraud.

4.Legal basis for processing

We process your data under the following legal bases:

Contract performance

Processing your account info and submitted content is necessary to deliver the service you signed up for (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).

Legitimate interest

Security logging, fraud prevention, and service improvement are necessary for the safe operation of the service (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Legal obligation

We may retain billing records where required by tax or financial regulation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).

5.Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We share limited data with:

  • DMCA notice recipients: when filing a takedown, the recipient receives your name or username as copyright holder and the infringing URL. No other personal data is shared.
  • PCI-compliant payment processor: processes your subscription payment. Governed by their own privacy policy. We do not receive or store your full card details.
  • Cloud infrastructure: hosting and email delivery providers who process data strictly on our behalf under data processing agreements.

6.Cookies

We use only essential cookies necessary to operate the service (session management, security tokens). We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. For full details see our Cookie Policy.

7.Data security

We apply industry-standard safeguards:

  • All data in transit is encrypted with TLS.
  • Data at rest is encrypted.
  • Access is restricted on a need-to-know basis.
  • Security events are logged and monitored.

8.Data retention

We retain your account data while your account is active and for 30 days after deletion, after which it is permanently removed. Takedown records may be retained for longer periods where required to comply with legal obligations or to defend against claims.

9.Your rights

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

  • Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Correction: ask us to correct inaccurate data.
  • Deletion: request deletion of your account and associated data.
  • Portability: receive your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Objection: object to certain processing based on legitimate interest.
  • Restriction: request that we limit how we use your data.

10.How to exercise your rights

Send a request to [email protected] with the subject line 'Privacy Request'. We respond within 30 days. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing the request.

11.Third-party links

Our site may link to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and recommend you review their policies.

12.Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the site. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
