Privacy Policy – DigitalSeal

Summary: DigitalSeal is designed with a single purpose: to help you check whether a website looks safe to use. For most users, we do not collect personal data or track your browsing history, and only process the domain name of the site you choose to analyze. If you choose to contact us or purchase any paid services, we may collect limited information as described in this policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to the DigitalSeal website (digitalseal.org), the DigitalSeal Chrome Extension, and any related services (the “Services”). By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 From the Chrome Extension

When you click the DigitalSeal extension icon, we process limited, non-personal technical information about the website you are currently visiting:

The domain name of the active website (for example: example.com).
Public technical information about that domain and website, such as SSL certificate details, DNS records, and security headers.

We do not collect or access:

Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers from the site you are visiting.
Your passwords, form data, or payment information on third-party websites.
The full page contents you are viewing.
Your complete browsing history or activity across sites.

The extension works only when you actively use it (for example, by clicking its icon), and does not run persistent tracking in the background.

1.2 From the DigitalSeal Website

When you visit digitalseal.org, we may automatically receive limited technical information that your browser sends:

IP address and approximate region (network-level information).
Browser type, version, and basic device information.
Pages visited and basic usage analytics (e.g., page views).

This information is used to operate, secure, and improve the website and is not used to personally identify you.

1.3 Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us directly (for example via email or contact forms), or if you choose to purchase any paid service from us, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as:

Your name and contact information (such as email address and phone number).
Billing or transaction-related information, as required for payment processing.
Support requests, feedback, or other message content.

We use this information only to provide and improve the Service, respond to your requests, and manage our relationship with you.

2. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we process for the following purposes:

To generate and display a website trust/safety score and related security information.
To operate and improve our Services and their accuracy.
To protect the security and integrity of our systems.
To process transactions and maintain internal records where you make a purchase.
To respond to your messages and provide support.
Where permitted, to send you information about new features, offers, or updates that may be relevant to you.

We do not use the data we process to build detailed marketing profiles of your browsing behavior across the web.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell or rent any data to third parties. The domain name of the site you are checking may be sent to:

Our own API endpoints under digitalseal.org, to perform security checks and generate a trust score.
External infrastructure or security providers (e.g., DNS, SSL, WHOIS services) that return technical information about the domain. These services receive only the domain name, not information about you personally.

If you choose to make a payment on our website, your payment will be processed by our payment service provider (such as Razorpay) in accordance with their own privacy and security practices. They may receive information necessary to complete the transaction, such as your name, contact details, and payment method information.

We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of DigitalSeal, our users, or others.

4. Data Retention

Our goal is to minimize storage of data as much as possible. Domain lookups and security results may be cached temporarily to improve performance and reduce repeated checks, but we do not use this caching to build user profiles.

If we store any logs for debugging or abuse prevention, they are retained only for as long as necessary for those purposes and are not combined with information that can directly identify individual users. Transactional records may be retained for as long as required by applicable law, accounting, or compliance obligations.

5. Cookies and Tracking

The DigitalSeal Chrome Extension does not use cookies or third-party trackers. Our website may use essential cookies or similar technologies for:

Security and fraud prevention.
Basic, non-personal analytics.
Remembering simple preferences.

We may also use traffic log cookies to understand which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes, and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

To request access to information we hold about you.
To request correction or deletion of your information.
To object to certain types of processing.
To withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent.

Because we intentionally avoid collecting personal data whenever possible, in many cases we may not have any identifiable information to provide. However, we will review and respond to all legitimate privacy requests.

Whenever you are asked to fill in a form on the website, you may have the option to indicate that you do not want the information to be used for direct marketing purposes. If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by contacting us.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we process, including:

Encryption in transit via HTTPS/TLS.
Access controls and least-privilege practices on our servers.
Monitoring and mitigation of abuse or malicious activity.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, but we strive to follow good industry practices to protect your data.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. International Use

Our Services may be accessed from countries around the world. By using the Services, you understand that your information may be processed on servers located in different jurisdictions, and you consent to such processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after any changes means that you accept the updated policy.
