Privacy Policy

Introduction

Fraudiant ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our email validation and fraud detection service.

Our core principle is simple: we don't store your data. This policy explains what that means and how we operate.

Information We Process

Email Validation Requests

When you use our API to validate an email address, we process the email address in real-time to determine if it's valid, disposable, or risky. This processing happens in memory and the email address is immediately discarded after we return the validation result.

We do not store email addresses or validation results.

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address (for account access and communication)
• Name and company information (optional)
• Billing information (processed securely through Stripe)
• API usage metrics (request counts, not email addresses)

Technical Information

We collect minimal technical information for security and service operation:

• IP addresses (anonymized after 24 hours)
• API request timestamps and response codes
• Browser type and device information (for dashboard access)

How We Use Information

• Provide email validation and fraud detection services
• Maintain and improve our service quality
• Process billing and payments
• Send service-related communications
• Detect and prevent fraud and abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except:

• Service Providers: Stripe for payment processing, AWS for infrastructure
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition

Data Retention

Email addresses submitted for validation: Zero retention. Processed in memory and immediately discarded.

Account information: Retained while your account is active and for 90 days after account closure for legal and accounting purposes.

Usage metrics: Aggregated, anonymized metrics retained for service improvement.

Cookies
