Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit ONLYSCAN.IO, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three main ways:

  • Information you provide (for example, when you submit forms on the Site such as Contact, Report, Promotion, Add Creator, or DMCA).
  • Information collected automatically (for example, IP address, device/browser information, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP for security and analytics).
  • Public creator profile information (for example, publicly available usernames, display names, bios, and profile images) used to build and refresh directory listings.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • operate and improve the Site and its search features;
  • process and respond to requests (including updates/removals and DMCA notices);
  • protect the Site from abuse, spam, and security incidents;
  • measure performance and understand how the Site is used.

3. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality, preferences, and analytics. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information:

  • with service providers that help us run the Site (hosting, storage, CDN, analytics, email delivery) under confidentiality obligations;
  • to comply with law or respond to valid legal requests;
  • to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Site, our users, and the public.

5. Public Listings & Removal Requests

Onlyscan is a directory. Listings are based on publicly available information and link to official third-party pages. If you are a creator (or authorized agent) and want a listing updated or removed, please use the Report page. For copyright-related requests, use the DMCA page.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to operate the Site, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For example, we may keep security logs for a limited period and keep request records as needed to process and document actions.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices & Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Age Restriction

The Site is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above.
