Privacy as a Non-Negotiable Standard.

This Privacy Policy explains how Defend Info (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, protects, and stores information when you visit our website, contact us, or engage our services and mentoring programs.

By interacting with Defend Info, you agree to this policy. If you do not accept these terms, you should not use our site or submit information.

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Full name or alias.
• Entity type (e.g., government, business, institution, individual).
• Preferred contact method (Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, email).
• Inquiry type and any context you choose to share.
• Details related to services, investigations, or mentoring.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Device and browser information.
• IP address and approximate region (for security and fraud detection).
• Basic usage analytics (pages visited, session duration, interaction data).
• System logs related to unusual or malicious access attempts.

We do not collect more than is necessary, and we do not engage in broad behavioral tracking or ad-tech profiling.

We use information to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide requested services.
• Evaluate risks and design protection strategies.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and infrastructure.
• Verify identity when necessary to reduce fraud and abuse.
• Comply with legal obligations where applicable.

We do not use your information for consumer advertising, mass marketing, or resale to data brokers.

Defend Info operates under a strict, zero-tolerance sharing policy. We do not:

• Sell your data.
• Trade or rent your data.
• Share your information with advertisers or data brokers.

Information may be disclosed only when:

• Required by a valid legal request or court order.
• Necessary to prevent active cyber threats or fraud.
• Needed to protect a client or third party from imminent harm.
• Required to enforce our Terms of Use or defend our legal rights.

Any disclosure is handled with careful verification and limited to the minimum necessary.

We apply layered, security-first practices aligned with modern cybersecurity standards, including (but not limited to):

• Encryption of data in transit where applicable.
• Restricted internal access on a need-to-know basis.
• Hardened infrastructure and continuous monitoring.
• Use of secure, reputable infrastructure providers.
• Logging of suspicious access patterns and escalation of serious events.

No system is ever “unbreakable”, but we operate with the mindset that every data point is an asset that must be defended.

We retain information only as long as:

• It is needed to deliver services or respond to you.
• It is required for security logging and fraud prevention.
• We are legally obligated to keep certain records.

Once data is no longer needed, we aim to delete, anonymize, or archive it securely, in line with legal and operational requirements.

Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal data, where applicable.
• Restrict or object to certain types of processing.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@defendinfo.com. We will respond in accordance with applicable laws.

We may use limited cookies and similar technologies for essential functions, performance, and security (such as maintaining sessions or detecting abuse).

We do not run ad-network tracking scripts or sell data derived from cookies to third parties. Depending on your browser settings and region, you may be able to manage your cookie preferences directly in your browser.

We may work with a small number of carefully selected providers for:

• Hosting and infrastructure.
• Secure form processing.
• Analytics and performance monitoring.
• Security and threat detection.

These providers are required to handle data in line with strict confidentiality and security expectations. We do not grant them permission to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

Depending on where you are located, your information may be processed or stored in regions outside your country of residence. Where required, we rely on lawful mechanisms and industry-standard safeguards for such transfers.

Defend Info services are intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a minor has provided information, contact us and we will investigate and delete the data where appropriate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our services. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Significant changes may also be communicated through our site or directly, where appropriate.
