Privacy Policy

At UDecode, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our email verification tools and developer utilities.

1. Information We Collect

When using UDecode, we may collect the following information:

• Email Input: Email addresses you enter for verification are processed in real-time and not permanently stored unless you opt into our “Notify Me” feature.
• Log Data: Basic server logs (IP, browser type, timestamp) are recorded for security and abuse prevention.
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand usage patterns and improve performance.
• reCAPTCHA: Google reCAPTCHA protects our forms from bots and spam.

2. How We Use Information

We process submitted emails solely for verification (syntax, MX, disposable, free provider, and role-based checks). Data is not shared, sold, or reused. Aggregated, anonymous usage statistics may be used for improving services.

3. Cookies & Tracking

We may use cookies and local storage to enhance functionality (dark mode preferences, session performance). Google Analytics and AdSense (if enabled) may also place cookies for usage and advertising analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

UDecode integrates trusted third-party services:

• Google Analytics: For traffic insights.
• Google reCAPTCHA: For security against spam/bots.
• Google AdSense: (If enabled) for monetization and ads.

These providers may collect anonymized technical information according to their own privacy policies.

5. Data Security

We take security seriously. All processing occurs over secure HTTPS connections. No permanent storage of verified emails occurs unless explicitly opted in by the user.

6. User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (Europe) or CCPA (California), including:

• Right to access, update, or delete your data.
• Right to opt-out of analytics or advertising cookies.
• Right to withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.

7. Service Limitations

UDecode provides its tools as-is with no guarantees of accuracy, uptime, or performance. Email verification results are for informational purposes and should be combined with other validation methods for critical workflows.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Service indicates acceptance of these changes.
