Your Trust Is Our Top Priority
We built Digital Karma to help you take control of your online presence. That starts with making sure your information is safe with us. Here's how we protect you — in plain English.
How We Keep You Safe
We've invested heavily in protecting your data at every level. Here's what that means for you.
Your Data Stays Private
PrivacyWe never sell, share, or trade your personal information. Your scan results belong to you — period. We only use your data to deliver the service you signed up for.
We Show What's Already Public
TransparencyOur scans only reveal information that's already exposed online. We don't collect anything new about you — we help you see what others can already find, so you can take action.
Bank-Level Encryption
EncryptionEvery connection to Digital Karma is fully encrypted, just like your online banking. Your scan results are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by government agencies and financial institutions — so even in the unlikely event of a data breach, your results remain unreadable.
AI That Respects Your Privacy
AI SafetyOur AI analysis runs securely on our protected servers — your personal information is never exposed to outside systems. We collect only what's necessary for your scan: we don't ask our AI to infer sensitive characteristics like ethnicity, religion, or political beliefs.
Payments Handled by Stripe
PaymentsWe never see or store your credit card number. All payment processing is handled by Stripe, the same trusted payment platform used by Amazon, Google, and millions of businesses worldwide.
Your Account, Your Control
ControlAccess to your scan results requires authentication — no one else can view your data. You can update, export, or delete your information at any time from your account settings.
Cross-Examined for Industry-Leading Best Practices
VerifiedOur platform has been rigorously cross-examined against leading security frameworks used by the world's top technology companies. We continuously assess our defenses and address findings promptly to keep your data safe.
Built with Security First
PhilosophySecurity isn't an afterthought at Digital Karma — it's the foundation. Every feature we build goes through security review before it reaches you, because your trust is our most important asset.
Our Commitments to You
These aren't just words — they're promises baked into how we build and run Digital Karma.
What Happens with Your Information
Your Scan Results
Encrypted and visible only to you. We never share your scan findings with anyone — they exist solely to help you understand and improve your online safety.
Your Personal Details
Your email, name, and account information are stored securely and used only to deliver your Digital Karma experience. Nothing more.
Your Right to Delete
Want your data removed? You can request deletion at any time. When you ask us to delete your data, we delete it — no fine print, no hidden copies.
Recent Security Enhancements
Based on a thorough cross-examination against 13 cybersecurity publications and industry frameworks, we recently implemented these additional protections.
Field-Level Encryption at Rest
Your scan results are now individually encrypted using AES-256-GCM before they're stored. Even if someone gained access to our database, each scan result would be unreadable without a separate encryption key that's stored independently. This follows the "defense in depth" principle recommended across multiple security frameworks.
Sensitive Demographics Removed
We no longer ask our AI to infer sensitive personal characteristics like ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, or dietary preferences. These provided minimal security value while creating unnecessary data risk. Your scan still identifies your age range and hobbies — things that are actually useful for understanding your exposure — without crossing into protected categories.
Automatic Data Expiration
Scan results now automatically expire after 12 months. This follows the data minimization principle — we don't hold onto your information longer than it's useful. Expired data is permanently deleted along with any associated analytics. You can always run a fresh scan.
PII Redacted from Server Logs
Our server logs no longer contain your email address or other personally identifiable information. We use anonymous internal identifiers for auditing and debugging. This means even our own developers can't accidentally see your personal details when investigating technical issues.
Transparent Search Disclosure
Before every scan, we now clearly disclose how the process works: we search public web sources using your provided information to discover your exposure, which means search engines process queries containing your name and location. No surprises — you know exactly what happens before you click "Scan."
Complete Data Cleanup on Deletion
When you delete your account, we now ensure every piece of associated data is removed — including scan analytics that were previously linked indirectly. No orphaned records, no leftover traces. When you say delete, we mean everything.
