In order to pursue our legitimate interest of preventing the creation of accounts by spam bots or human spammers, Wayback Download uses a variety of human verification methods.

IP addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers provided are saved temporarily in order to send you a verification code and to determine if you are a spammer. If this data is saved permanently, it is always saved as a cryptographic hash, which ensures that the raw values cannot be deciphered by us.

Communicating with Wayback Download:Your communications with us, such as support requests, bug reports or feature requests may be saved. But you are welcome to do so anonymously.
We do not have any advertising on our site. Any data that that we do have (which is very little), will only be shared under extraordinary circumstances (such as through a court order).
All servers used in connection with the provisioning of our services are located in the United States through Amazon Web Services.
To provide every user with a secure user experience, we make use of some minimal third party tools, namely: Stripe (for payment processing) and AWS Cognito (for credential handling). We encourage every user to read these companies privacy policy carefully as the data they handle is out of our control.

When an Wayback Download account is closed, data is immediately delete from production servers. Active accounts will have data retained as long as the user requests to have it. Deleted data may be retained for some time in our backups for regulatory purposes.
We will only disclose the limited user data we possess if we are instructed to do so by a fully binding request coming from the competent Canadian or United States authorities (legal obligation). While we may comply with electronically delivered notices (see exceptions below), the disclosed data can only be used in court after we have received an original copy of the court order by registered post or in person, and provide a formal response.
If a request is made for encrypted message content that Wayback Download does not possess the ability to decrypt, the fully encrypted message content may be turned over. If permitted by law, Wayback Download will always contact a user first before any data disclosure.
Wayback Download may from time to time, contest requests if there is a public interest in doing so. In such situations, Wayback Download will not comply with the request until all legal or other remedies have been exhausted.
