Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

What we collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and organization name via Clerk, our authentication provider. When you use the API, we process the email addresses and contact names you submit for validation or finding. We also collect usage data (API calls, credit usage) for billing and service operation.

How we use your data

Email addresses submitted for validation are hashed (SHA-256) and cached for up to 7 days to improve response times. We do not sell, share, or distribute the email addresses you validate or the contacts you look up. Your data is used solely to provide the service you requested.

Data retention

Validation results are cached for 7 days, then automatically deleted. Domain information (MX records, provider, catch-all status) is cached for 24 hours. Account data is retained for the duration of your account. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services:

  • - Clerk for authentication
  • - Stripe for payment processing
  • - Neon for database hosting
  • - Vercel for website hosting
  • - Fly.io for API hosting
  • - Google Analytics for website analytics

Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We do not share your validated email data with any of these providers.

SMTP connections

To validate email addresses, our servers connect to mail servers via SMTP. This is a standard protocol check that does not send any actual email. We check whether a mailbox exists and disconnect. No messages are delivered during this process.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication (via Clerk). We use Google Analytics for aggregate website traffic analysis. We do not use advertising cookies or trackers.

Your rights

You can export your data, delete your account, or revoke API keys at any time from the dashboard. For data deletion requests or questions, contact us at jeff@opflow.io.
