  • IMEI/Serial Numbers: When you use our check services, we process the IMEI or serial numbers you submit. We store partial/masked versions for check history and abuse prevention.

  • Support Tickets: When you contact support, we collect the information you provide in your messages.

  • Payment processors: Payment data is shared with Stripe or Binance Pay for transaction processing.

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available for all accounts.
  • API keys are hashed and stored securely.
  • Regular security audits and updates are performed.
