What We Collect
We collect device-level signals (browser type, screen resolution, GPU information, fonts, audio context, and similar hardware/software attributes) for the purpose of generating a device fingerprint. We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, email addresses, or browsing history through our fingerprinting SDK.
For account holders, we collect registration information (email, company name) and usage analytics related to API consumption.
How We Use Data
Device fingerprints are used to: (a) generate a unique device identifier for fraud prevention, (b) detect automated bots and suspicious behavior, (c) provide analytics and risk scoring to our customers, and (d) improve our matching algorithms.
Account information is used to manage your subscription, provide customer support, and communicate service updates.
Data Retention
Device fingerprint data is retained according to the customer's plan (7 to 90 days for standard plans, custom retention for enterprise). Account information is retained for the duration of the account plus 30 days after deletion. You may request data deletion at any time.
