• Account & auth: username, email (if provided), hashed credentials, session tokens, and usage limits.
• Technical logs: IP, user agent, timestamps for security, rate limiting, and abuse prevention.
• Lookup inputs: the queries you submit (e.g., usernames, IDs, emails) solely to execute your request.
• Not collected: sensitive categories unless you explicitly include them in a query.

Data is processed to authenticate users, perform lookups, enforce rate limits, prevent fraud, and maintain service reliability. We retain data only as long as necessary for these purposes or to meet legal obligations.

• Security and access logs: retained for up to 30 days unless needed longer for fraud/abuse investigations.
• Lookup/query metadata: retained for up to 24 hours for stability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
• Account data after deletion: deleted or anonymized within 30 days unless legal obligations require otherwise.

Contractual necessity: account creation, authentication, and executing your requested lookups.

Legitimate interests: security, anti-abuse, uptime, and service reliability.

Consent: any non-essential analytics or optional processing requires your opt-in. You may withdraw consent at any time via account settings (if available) or by contacting legal@swatted.wtf.

We align with GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and consumer protection standards.

Users must have a lawful basis to submit any third-party personal data. swatted.wtf acts as a processor for user-submitted queries where applicable.

Lookup results may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate and must not be treated as verified facts. Users remain responsible for lawful use of any outputs.

• Access: obtain a copy of your personal data.
• Rectify: correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Delete: request erasure where legally allowed.
• Restrict/Object: limit or object to processing in certain cases.
• Portability: receive data you provided in a structured, machine-readable format.

We may call third-party APIs or data sources to fulfill your lookup. Only the minimal required parameters are shared. Providers may process data under their own terms; we aim to select reputable services and safeguard transfers where required.

We use essential cookies/session tokens for authentication, security, and rate limiting. No advertising or tracking pixels are used. Blocking essential cookies may impair functionality.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures (hashing, scoped tokens, access controls, logging). No system is perfectly secure; please report issues so we can respond quickly.

This service is not intended for users under the age of 16. Users under this age may not create accounts or use the platform.

Data is kept only as long as needed for the purposes described or to meet legal/accounting obligations. See “Data Retention” above for approximate timeframes; logs may then be aggregated or deleted.

Where data moves across regions, we strive to apply appropriate safeguards consistent with GDPR and local requirements. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards, or providers located in jurisdictions deemed adequate by the European Commission.

Results are provided “as is.” You are responsible for lawful use of the service and outputs. Do not use data for harassment, discrimination, or unlawful activities.
