Terms of Service

Last updated: January 2025

⚠️ Important Notice

By purchasing a report, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully. If you disagree with any part, please do not use our service.

1. What We Provide

PrivacyScan provides informational products—specifically, Privacy Exposure Reports that compile publicly available information about you from data broker sites and other online sources.

Our reports are:

  • One-time information products, not ongoing services
  • A snapshot of what we find at the time of creation
  • Educational resources to help you understand your digital footprint
  • Guides to help you take action on your own behalf

We do not perform removals on your behalf (unless separately agreed), nor do we monitor your information on an ongoing basis.

2. FCRA Disclaimer

đźš« NOT A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY

PrivacyScan is NOT a Consumer Reporting Agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.

Our reports may NOT be used for:

  • Employment decisions or background checks
  • Tenant screening or housing decisions
  • Credit eligibility determinations
  • Insurance underwriting
  • Educational enrollment decisions
  • Any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Our reports are intended solely for personal use—to help you understand what information about you is publicly available online.

By purchasing a report, you certify that you will use it only for your own personal information awareness and not for any FCRA-regulated purpose.

3. No Guarantees of Removal Success

While we provide detailed instructions for removing your information from data broker sites, we cannot guarantee:

  • That any specific site will honor your removal request
  • How long removals will take to process
  • That removed information won't reappear later
  • That we found every site with your information
  • That our removal instructions will remain accurate (sites change their processes)

Data broker practices vary, and some sites may be slow to respond, deny requests, or re-acquire your information from other sources. Our report gives you the best available information and tools, but success depends on factors outside our control.

4. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate reports, but:

  • We rely on publicly available information that may itself be inaccurate
  • Data broker sites change frequently and may block our scans
  • We may miss some sites or fail to find certain records
  • Information changes over time; our report is a point-in-time snapshot

Our reports are provided "as is" without warranties of completeness or accuracy.

5. Refund Policy

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • •PrivacyScan shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our reports.
  • •Our total liability for any claims arising from a report shall not exceed the amount you paid for that report.
  • •We are not responsible for actions taken by third-party data brokers, including their failure to process removal requests.
  • •We are not liable for any decisions you make based on information in our reports.

You may not reproduce, redistribute, or create derivative works from our materials without permission.

9. Dispute Resolution

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you agree that any legal proceedings will be:

  • Governed by the laws of Delaware, USA
  • Conducted in the state or federal courts of Delaware
  • Brought individually (not as part of a class action)

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with changes, stop using our service and contact us about any active orders.
