Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Sniffmail ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our email validation API service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Email address used to create your account
• Payment Information: Processed securely by Stripe for subscriptions and credit purchases; we do not store card details
• Usage Data: API request counts, credit balances, timestamps, and rate limit information
• Email Addresses Validated: Temporarily processed but not permanently stored

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Monitor and enforce usage limits and credit deductions
• Improve our Service and develop new features
• Prevent fraud and abuse

4. Email Validation Data

Email addresses submitted for validation are processed in real-time and are not permanently stored. We may cache validation results temporarily (up to 30 days) to improve performance and reduce redundant checks.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, secure API key generation, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Usage data is retained for billing purposes and analytics. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
