Last updated: March 16, 2026
ZERO-STORAGE PRIVACY PROMISE
We do NOT store your personal data. Unlike data brokers and people-search sites that profit from selling your information, EXPOSE exists to help YOU take control. Your search information is processed in real-time and immediately discarded after your scan completes. We don't build profiles, we don't sell data, we don't share with advertisers. You're the customer, not the product.
// 01_INTRODUCTION
EXPOSE ("we," "our," or "us") operates the EXPOSE Digital Footprint Scanner service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services. Please read this policy carefully. By using EXPOSE, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
// 02_INFORMATION_WE_COLLECT
[a] Information You Provide:
- • Email address (required for scans)
- • Name, phone number, city, and state (optional, for enhanced scans)
- • Account credentials if you create an account
- • Payment information (processed securely via Stripe)
[b] Scan Results:
- • Data found about you from public sources
- • Breach information from Have I Been Pwned
- • Social media presence data
- • Public records information
// 03_HOW_WE_USE_YOUR_DATA
We use the information we collect to:
- [+] Perform digital footprint scans
- [+] Generate exposure reports and scores
- [+] Process payments and fulfill orders
- [+] Send scan results and updates
- [+] Improve our services and user experience
- [+] Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
- [+] Comply with legal obligations
// 04_DATA_RETENTION
[!] MINIMAL DATA RETENTION
We deliberately retain as little data as possible. Your search queries are processed in memory and discarded immediately. We only keep what's absolutely necessary to deliver your report.
What we retain:
- [•] Search queries: NOT stored - processed in real-time and discarded
- [•] Scan results: Temporary cache only (deleted after 24 hours for free scans)
- [•] Paid reports: Available for 30 days so you can re-download
- [•] Payment records: Only transaction IDs, as required by law
Compare this to data brokers who store your information indefinitely and sell it to anyone willing to pay.
// 05_DATA_SECURITY
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including: encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), secure database storage, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information.
// 06_YOUR_RIGHTS_AND_CONTROL
[!] YOU ARE IN COMPLETE CONTROL
Unlike data brokers who collect your data and make it nearly impossible to remove, EXPOSE puts you in the driver's seat. You decide what to search, when to search, and your data is never stored or shared.
Your rights include:
- [→] Access: View exactly what data we have (hint: almost none)
- [→] Deletion: Request deletion anytime - though there's little to delete
- [→] Portability: Download your report data
- [→] Transparency: We tell you exactly what we do with your info
To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].
// 07_CHILDREN_PRIVACY
EXPOSE is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have collected data from a child under 18, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us immediately.
// 08_CHANGES_TO_POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of EXPOSE after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
