    Terms of Service

    Last updated: March 2026

    1. Acceptance of Terms

    By accessing or using Data Breach Watch ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and continued use constitutes acceptance of changes.

    2. Description of Service

    Data Breach Watch provides:

    • Breach Alerts: Notifications about reported data breaches based on your preferences
    • Breach Database: A searchable directory of data breach reports
    • BreachBrief: AI-powered analysis of breach notification letters and documents
    • Exposure Tools: Tools to check whether your information may have been compromised
    • Legal Connections: The ability to connect with law firms investigating data breaches

    The Service is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

    3. User Accounts & Data

    You may provide personal information such as your email address, state, and sector preferences to receive breach alerts. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide.

    When using BreachBrief, you may upload or paste breach notification documents. These documents are processed by AI to extract structured information. You should not upload documents containing information belonging to others without their consent.

    4. Intake Forms & Legal Referrals

    By submitting an intake form, you consent to having your information shared with one or more partner law firms investigating the relevant data breach. Submitting an intake form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

    Data Breach Watch does not guarantee that any law firm will contact you or accept your case. Any legal engagement is solely between you and the law firm.

    5. Partner Law Firm Terms

    Partner law firms accessing leads through our platform agree to:

    • Handle all lead data in compliance with applicable privacy laws
    • Not resell or redistribute lead information to third parties
    • Maintain appropriate data security measures
    • Comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct

    Lead pricing, allocation, and delivery are subject to the terms of your partner agreement.

    6. Disclaimers

    The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of breach information. Breach reports are based on publicly available information and may not reflect the full scope of any incident.

    BreachBrief analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. Always verify important details with official sources and consult a qualified attorney for legal decisions.

    7. Limitation of Liability

    To the maximum extent permitted by law, Data Breach Watch shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to reliance on breach information, AI-generated analysis, or legal referrals.

    8. Intellectual Property

    All content, design, and technology of the Service are owned by Data Breach Watch. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without express permission. Breach data derived from public sources remains in the public domain.

    9. Termination

    We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these terms or for any other reason. You may unsubscribe from alerts at any time through your Email Preferences page.
