Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Simple, straightforward policies for using our security scanning service.

Terms of Service

Last updated: August 20, 2025

By using Internet Secure (internetsecure.org), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use our service.

What Our Service Does

Internet Secure scans websites for security vulnerabilities and compliance issues. We check things like SSL certificates, security headers, DNS configuration, and email authentication. We provide reports on what we find, but we don't fix anything - that's up to you.

Acceptable Use

You can scan websites that you own or have permission to scan. Don't use our service to:

  • Scan websites you don't own without permission
  • Attempt to hack or break our service
  • Use our service for illegal activities
  • Overload our servers with excessive requests
  • Share your account credentials with others

Limitations

Our scanning tool does its best, but it's not perfect. We provide information "as is" without warranties. We're not responsible if:

  • Our scans miss security issues
  • Our reports contain inaccuracies
  • You make changes based on our reports that cause problems
  • Our service is temporarily unavailable

Account Termination

We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You can cancel your account anytime. If you're on a paid plan, cancellation takes effect at the end of your billing period.

Payment and Refunds

Paid plans are billed in advance. We don't provide refunds for partial months. If you're unhappy with our service, contact us at [email protected] and we'll try to make it right.

Changes to These Terms

We might update these terms occasionally. We'll notify users of significant changes via email or on our website.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2025

This privacy policy explains how Internet Secure collects, uses, and protects your information.

Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and password.

Scan Data: We store the domains you scan and the results of those scans. This helps us provide historical data and track changes over time.

Usage Information: We track basic usage like when you log in and which features you use. This helps us improve the service.

Technical Information: Standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser types, and pages visited.

How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and improve our security scanning service
  • Send you scan results and security alerts
  • Communicate about your account and our service
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve our tools
  • Comply with legal requirements

Information Sharing

We don't sell your data. Period. We may share information only in these situations:

  • With your explicit consent
  • When required by law (subpoenas, court orders, etc.)
  • To protect our rights or the safety of others
  • With service providers who help us operate (payment processors, hosting providers) - they're bound by strict confidentiality agreements

Data Security

We protect your data using industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure servers, and regular security audits. However, no internet service is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We keep your account information and scan results based on your plan:

  • Free Plan: 12 months of scan history
  • Pro Plan: 2 years of scan history
  • Enterprise Plan: Unlimited retention

When you cancel your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except where required to keep it by law.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your account and data
  • Export your scan data
  • Opt out of non-essential communications

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies for essential functions like keeping you logged in and basic analytics. We don't use tracking cookies for advertising or sell your browsing data to third parties.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted service providers for payments (Stripe) and hosting (AWS). These services have their own privacy policies and security measures.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International Users

Our servers are located in the United States. If you're accessing our service from other countries, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We'll notify you of significant changes via email or on our website.

We believe in transparency. If anything isn't clear, just ask.
