Opted

Privacy policy

We collect your personal information for one reason: to find it on people-search sites and get it taken down. We never sell it.

Last updated: Draft, not yet in effect

Placeholder: replace before launch

This is draft text so the page can be designed and linked. It hasn’t been reviewed by a lawyer and isn’t our final policy.

What we collect

  • What you give us: your name and other names, birth year, where you live and have lived, phone numbers and email addresses, and the authorization you sign so we can act for you.
  • What we find: the people-search sites that list you, what each one shows, and screenshots that prove a listing was removed.
  • Your account: your sign-in email and your plan. Card details are held by our payment provider; we never see the full number.
  • Technical details: a sign-in cookie, and a scrambled form of your IP address to limit sign-in attempts.

How we use it

To search for you on people-search sites, send removal requests in your name, show you your results and proof, and email you about your account. We don’t use it for advertising, and we never sell or rent it.

Who we share it with

  • The sites we remove you from. Only what a site needs to find your listing and process the request, and your signed authorization if the site asks for it.
  • Companies that run parts of Opted for us, such as hosting, our database, email and payments. They may only use it to provide their service to us. [List of providers to be added.]
  • When the law requires it.

How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account. When you ask us to delete your account we delete your details, results, removal requests and proof. We keep billing records only as long as tax law requires. [Retention periods to be confirmed.]

Your choices

In Settings, Account you can download a copy of your data and take back your authorization. To delete your account, contact us and we delete it. You can change your details in Your details at any time.

Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under state privacy laws, such as the right to know, correct or delete your information. [State-by-state wording to be added.]

Cookies

We use one cookie to keep you signed in. We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies.

When you create an account, we note which website or ad link brought you to Opted, if any. We don’t use tracking cookies and don’t follow you on other sites.
