Privacy Policy

The short version

Everything you type into DataPurge stays in your browser. The site has no accounts, no analytics scripts, no tracking pixels, and no third-party embeds. The only personal data we ever hold is what you explicitly give the optional email reminder service — and you can delete that at any time.

Using the app

Your profile (name, email, address, date of birth, and any other fields you fill in) is stored in your browser's localStorage on your device. It is never transmitted to us. Opt-out emails are assembled locally in your browser and sent from your own email client — DataPurge never sees them. Clearing your browser data or using the in-app profile controls removes it.

One practical note: because your data lives in localStorage unencrypted, treat shared or public computers with care — use a private window or delete your profile when you're done.

The optional email reminder service ("drip")

If you sign up for daily opt-out reminder emails, we store the minimum needed to build them:

• your signup email address;
• one copy of your filled opt-out text (which contains the personal details you chose to include, such as your name and location);
• the list of brokers in your queue and a log of which reminder emails we've sent you;
• whether you ticked the optional updates box.

Signups use double opt-in: until you click the confirmation link, the only thing we ever send is that single confirmation email, and unconfirmed signups are deleted automatically after 7 days.

If you ticked the optional updates box, we may occasionally email you about online privacy news, DataPurge features, and related privacy services we offer. That is the only marketing use of your address, it only happens with that box ticked, and unsubscribing ends it.

These reminder emails go to you and only you. We never email brokers on your behalf — every opt-out request is sent by you, from your own email account.

When you unsubscribe (one click in any email), we immediately delete your opt-out text, broker queue, and send history. We keep only your email address, marked inactive, so we never email you again. If you want even that removed, open a GitHub issue or contact us and we'll erase it.

Infrastructure

The site is served by Cloudflare Pages, and the reminder service runs on Cloudflare Workers with data stored in Cloudflare D1. Reminder emails are delivered through Resend. Like any host, these providers process standard connection logs (such as IP addresses) to serve and protect the site; we add no logging of our own and have no analytics.

Not legal advice

DataPurge generates request letters that cite privacy laws, and helps you track responses. This is information and tooling, not legal advice, and using DataPurge does not create an attorney–client relationship. Laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time; for advice about your specific situation, consult a lawyer.

Changes & contact

This policy is versioned in the open-source repository alongside the code that implements it — you can verify every claim on GitHub. Questions or deletion requests: open an issue on the repository.
