Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how identitybreached.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you visit our website and use the breach-check tool (collectively, the "Site"). Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site.

1. Who We Are

identitybreached.com is an independent advertising and referral website. We help visitors check whether their personal information may have been exposed in a data breach and connect them with third-party identity-protection services such as OmniWatch. We are not a credit bureau, financial institution, law firm, or government agency.

2. Information We Collect

a. Information you provide

• Email address — when you submit the breach-scan form.
• Contact details — such as your name and message if you contact us for support.

b. Information collected automatically

• IP address, browser type, device and operating system information.
• Pages viewed, referring URLs, and approximate location (derived from IP).
• Cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
• Marketing identifiers, such as the campaign or link that referred you.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To perform the breach lookup you request and display or deliver your results.
• To connect you with, and refer you to, third-party services such as OmniWatch.
• To respond to your inquiries and provide support.
• To operate, secure, measure, and improve the Site.
• To send service or marketing communications where you have opted in or as otherwise permitted by law (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents, and to comply with legal obligations.

4. How the Breach Scan Works

When you submit your email, it may be transmitted to our third-party breach-data and identity-protection partner(s) to check it against databases of known, publicly reported breaches and dark-web sources. We do not ask for, and you should never enter, passwords, Social Security numbers, or full financial account numbers on this Site. Any additional information required to provide identity-protection services will be collected by the relevant provider under their own privacy policy.

5. How We Share Information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers — vendors that host the Site, run analytics, send email, and provide breach-data lookups, acting on our behalf.
• Marketing & referral partners — including OmniWatch, when you choose to proceed to their service. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
• Legal & safety — to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, safety, and property.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Certain data-sharing for advertising may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under some state laws — see Section 9 for your choices.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We and our partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and our cookie controls. See our Cookie Policy for details.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

8. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards — including encryption in transit — designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you.
• Opt out of marketing communications.
• Opt out of targeted advertising and the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
• Request a portable copy of your data.
• Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@identitybreached.com. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

California & U.S. State Residents (CCPA/CPRA and similar)

California, and a growing number of other U.S. states, give residents specific rights over their personal information, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale/sharing. To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, email privacy@identitybreached.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Info," or use any "Do Not Sell or Share" link provided on the Site. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required.

European Economic Area / UK Residents (GDPR/UK GDPR)

If you are in the EEA or UK, our legal bases for processing are: your consent; performance of a contract; our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site; and compliance with legal obligations. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites and services, including OmniWatch. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
