verifymail.io (“verifymail.io” or “we”) takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to users of our online “Services” and individuals we interact with for marketing or other commercial purposes. It describes how we may collect, use, and share your Personal Information. It also explains related rights and choices you may have.
Our Services include: our public website (verifymail.io); our account-restricted API service that our customers use to find or verify information relating to an IP address; and any other site, app or online service we offer that links or refers to this Privacy Policy.
This Policy does not cover our processing of Personal Information as a service provider (data processor) to customers that subscribe to our API platform. If you believe our customer has used the platform to process your Personal Information, please send any inquiries or requests to that customer.
You may see other privacy notices when we collect your Personal Information for certain purposes. Those notices supplement this Policy.
When we say “Personal Information,” we mean information that can reasonably be linked to a particular individual or their household. Generally speaking, your Personal Information includes your unique identifiers (full name, phone number, email address, user name, etc.), and information about your characteristics, conditions or behavior that is associated with one of your identifiers or could otherwise reasonably be linked to you.
“Non-Personal Information,” on the other hand, has been anonymized, aggregated or de-identified such that it cannot reasonably be linked to a particular individual or their household.
The Personal Information we collect depends on the nature of your interaction with us or our Services, and may include:
From You When You Provide It. We may collect Identifiers, Professional or Employment Information or other Personal Information from you directly when you fill out a form on our site; register an account to use the API service; join our mailing list; place an order or make a purchase; visit our office; interact with us at an event; or otherwise communicate with us.
Automatically From Your Device. Like most online services, our Services automatically collect some information from users’ devices in order to make features function correctly, customize or improve the user experience, understand how the Service is being used, or measure the effectiveness of marketing efforts. Some of this data may be collected through the use of browser cookies, pixel tags or similar online tracking technologies, which are explained below. In some cases, we limit this type of collection to Non-Personal Information. However, this data may include Personal Information such as online Identifiers, Internet Activity and Commercial Information.
From Third Party Sources. We may obtain information about you from other sources. For example, we may collect Identifiers, Professional or Employment Information, or Internet Activity that you have chosen to share on social media platforms. (To the extent you disclose such information through widely distributed media or on a public platform, we may not be required to treat it as Personal Information under applicable law.)
We may combine information collected from other sources with information collected from you or your device. To the extent the information, alone or in combination, constitutes Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information as described in this Policy.
We use Personal Information for the following purposes:
We may use Non-Personal Information for any purpose.
We may share Personal Information with contractors, service providers, and other vendors who assist or support us in providing the Services. Examples of these third party services may include hosting our website or platform, storing data, performing analytics, processing payments, or sending marketing communications. Our agreements with vendors prohibit them from retaining, using or disclosing the Personal Information we share with them for any purpose other than providing services to us.
We may share your Personal Information with analytics providers or marketing partners to measure performance of our Service or marketing efforts. This sharing may involve the use of browser cookies and similar technologies placed through our Service by our partners, as explained in "Cookies And Online Tracking". For example, when you visit our website, our partner’s Cookie may cause your browser to automatically send a request to our partner’s server and provide our partner with your IP address, other Identifiers, Device Information and Internet Activity.
We may have a legal obligation to disclose Personal Information to government authorities or other third parties pursuant to a valid regulatory request, subpoena or court order. We may also need to disclose and otherwise process your Personal Information in accordance with applicable law to prevent physical harm or financial loss, protect the vital interests of a person, enforce our various policies or terms of use, protect our property, services and legal rights, prevent fraud, support auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions, or comply with applicable law.
We may transfer your information in the event of the sale of substantially all of the assets of our business to a third-party or in the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization. However, in such event, any acquirer will be subject to the provisions of our commitments to you or we will not disclose your information.
We will share your Personal Information with other third parties as you may direct or otherwise consent.
Our Services are not directed to children (individuals under the age of 18). We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process children’s Personal Information unless the child’s parent or guardian consents and provides the information. If we determine that we have received a child’s Personal Information from a source other than the child’s consenting parent/guardian, we will immediately delete the information.
A browser cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores in your device’s browser. It holds information that the site uses to function properly, remember your preferences, or personalize your experience. A typical cookie contains a cookie ID, which is a unique string of characters used to identify your browser during the browsing session, or in some cases, during subsequent browsing sessions. Cookies, cookie ID’s and similar pieces of data may be considered Personal Information (identifiers or internet activity) under applicable law.
Other online technologies, similar to cookies, may allow users to be identified and tracked across multiple browsing sessions, and in some cases tracked across different websites and apps for marketing or advertising purposes. These technologies include, but are not necessarily limited to, pixels, web beacons and scripts (collectively with browser cookies, “Cookies”).
Our Service uses “first party” Cookies, which are set by our web domain (verifymail.io). Our Service also uses some “third party” Cookies, which are set by other web domains associated with our vendors or partners. This means that, when you visit our site, your browser may automatically connect to our vendor’s web server, as well as ours, and provide them with access to your online identifiers and information about how you use our site.
Both First Party and Third Party Cookies may be used on our Services for the following purposes:
Some of the Cookies used on our Services are related to Google tools we use, including Google Analytics. For more information, click here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-US
You can block, disable or delete cookies at any time by changing the settings in your browser. However, blocking, disabling, or deleting cookies may limit your ability to view all the pages of our site or other sites. You can find more information about cookies and other options you may have for restricting them at www.cookiesandyou.com, and www.aboutads.info/choices.
Our website honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If you have configured your browser to send the GPC signal, we will interpret that signal as your request to opt-out of non-Essential Cookies.
You may opt-out of our marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link provided in the email.
See "Cookies And Online Tracking" for options to restrict Cookies.
If you reside in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland, you may have additional rights and choices.
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, products or services. If you use these links, you will leave our site. Such links do not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation by us of the third party, the third-party website or the information contained therein, and we shall not be responsible or liable for your use thereof. Such use shall be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those sites.
We don’t share Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
As of January 1, 2023, we do not meet the definition of a covered “business” under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended. If and when we become a covered business, we will update this Policy accordingly as part of ongoing compliance efforts.
Your Personal Information is controlled by verifymail.io, a Wyoming limited liability company, which is headquartered in the State of California. You may contact us via our contact page.
We may process your Personal Information for the purposes described above if at least one of the following grounds for processing applies:
If you use a Service or contact us, your Personal Information will be processed in the United States—which has not received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Commission as referenced in Article 25 of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)—and will be handled in accordance with this Policy and applicable U.S. law, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing with you or a third party you are affiliated with.
To the extent we make transfers of Personal Information to third parties in other countries that have not received an adequacy finding, we rely on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. In particular, we make such transfers: with your consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of ours in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. We also endeavor to enter into data processing agreements and European Commission-approved model clauses with service providers whenever necessary and appropriate.
We do not make any decisions involving the use of algorithms or profiling that significantly affects you.
The GDPR provides you with the following rights, which you can exercise by contacting us:
You also have the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority of your member state.
We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time and you should check this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Service after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy on this page will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you either through the email address you have provided us, or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Policy, please contact us via our contact page.
