Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ScrapeKit.ai ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our service. By using ScrapeKit.ai you agree to the practices described below.

1. What we collect

• Account data: email address, hashed password, sign-up timestamp, IP address at signup.
• Usage data: scrape jobs you create (niche, location, status), email verification jobs, credit transactions.
• Payment data: card payments are processed by Stripe, crypto by NOWPayments. We never store full card numbers. We keep the payment identifier, amount, and status.
• Referral data: if you sign up through a referral link, we store the referrer's ID to credit them.
• Technical data: basic request logs (IP, endpoint, timestamp) for abuse prevention.

2. How we use your data

• Provide and operate the service (scraping, verification, billing).
• Authenticate you and protect the account.
• Send transactional email (email verification, password reset, payment receipts, account notices) from support@scrapekit.ai.
• Detect and block abuse: rate limiting, disposable-email detection, MX-record validation, referral self-farming.
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. Scraped business data

ScrapeKit queries publicly available sources (Google Maps, public business websites) on your behalf to extract contact information for businesses. You are responsible for ensuring your use of that data complies with local laws in your jurisdiction, including the EU GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, UK DPA 2018, US CAN-SPAM, and similar legislation. We do not warrant that scraped data is accurate or lawful for any specific purpose.

4. Cookies and local storage

We use browser localStorage (functionally similar to cookies) to keep you logged in and to remember a referral code for up to 30 days. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:

• Stripe — card payment processing (stripe.com/privacy).
• NOWPayments — crypto payment processing (nowpayments.io/privacy-policy).
• Google — Gmail is used to deliver transactional mail.
• Anthropic — we use Claude to generate location district lists for scraping; your email is never sent to Anthropic.
• Law enforcement, if compelled by a valid legal order.

6. Data retention

Account data is kept while the account is active. Scrape results and verification results are stored in your account until you delete them. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by emailing support@scrapekit.ai.

7. Your rights

If you are in the EU, UK, or a jurisdiction with similar rules, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict processing. To exercise these rights, email support@scrapekit.ai from the address tied to your account. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

Passwords are stored using bcrypt hashing. Secrets and API keys are not checked into source control. Traffic is served over HTTPS. No system is 100% secure; if we become aware of a breach affecting your data we will notify you without undue delay.

9. Children

ScrapeKit.ai is not directed to anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this page and, where appropriate, by email. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
