PRIVACY-FIRST
BY DESIGN.
EntryCheck is a navigational signpost, not a data harvester. You can browse the entire registry anonymously. The only personal data we ever hold is an email address you choose to give us.
Last updated: 12 July 2026
1. Data Controller
EntryCheck.org operates as the Data Controller. For any privacy inquiries or to exercise your data rights, contact us at privacy@entrycheck.org.
2. Processing Basis
We rely on Legitimate Interest to process technical data (IP addresses) for site security and preventing abuse. Where you give us your email to receive our newsletter or a report, we rely on your Consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
3. Local Storage
We use browser-side Local Storage to remember your interface preferences (e.g. Protocol Acknowledgment). This data resides solely on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
4. Your Data Rights
Under GDPR/UK regulations you have the right to access, correct or erase your personal data. If you simply browse EntryCheck, we hold nothing identifying you. If you have subscribed to our newsletter or downloaded a report, the only personal data we hold is your email address, which you can remove yourself at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email, or by emailing privacy@entrycheck.org. (Developer API customers are managed via RapidAPI, see section 6.)
5. AI-Assisted Search
When you use the optional "Ask EntryCheck" AI feature, the text you type is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate a response. We do not attach your identity to these queries or build profiles from them. Please avoid entering personal details into the AI box; Google processes this input under its own terms.
6. Developer API & RapidAPI
Our Developer API is distributed through RapidAPI, which manages developer accounts, API keys, and billing on our behalf as a data processor. If you subscribe, your account and payment data are held by RapidAPI under their privacy policy. Our API receives request data (such as the URL being checked) and IP addresses, used only for security and rate-limiting.
7. Newsletter & Email
When you subscribe to EntryWire Weekly or download a report, we collect your email address, and nothing else, on the basis of your consent. We use it only to send the newsletter, a welcome message, and any report you requested. We never sell or share it. The list is stored and delivered by Resend, our email provider, which may process this data in the United States. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe, and you can opt out at any time.
Retention Policy
We adhere to the principle of Data Minimization. We do not archive your search history. Technical logs (IP addresses) are retained solely for security auditing and protecting the integrity of the registry, kept only for the duration required by standard security protocols. Email addresses are kept only for as long as you remain subscribed; unsubscribing removes you from the list.
Third Party Boundary
Once you click a verified registry link, you enter a third-party government domain. We have zero visibility into their data practices and recommend reviewing their local privacy notices.
