Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 19/02/2026

At ImeiCheck.com, we prioritize security. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data, specifically regarding our Anti-Fraud Velocity Engine and Digital Vault.

1. Data We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of data necessary to detect fraud and operate our services:

  • Device Identifiers: IMEI, Serial Number (SN), and MEID submitted for checking.
  • Technical Security Data (Fingerprint): Browser type, screen resolution, battery status, installed fonts, and IP address. This creates a unique "Device Fingerprint" used strictly for security.
  • Usage Patterns (Velocity): The frequency, timing, and geographic location of your checks.
  • Account Data: Email address (only if you register for the Digital Vault or API).

2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

We process your data under the following legal grounds:

Purpose Legal Basis
Fraud Prevention (Velocity & Fingerprinting) Legitimate Interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
(Processing is necessary to prevent the trafficking of stolen goods and protect the integrity of the secondary mobile market).
Service Provision (Checking IMEI) Contractual Necessity (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
Digital Vault (Ownership Registration) Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You voluntarily provide this data to claim ownership.

3. Device Fingerprinting & Security

🛡️ Security Notice: We use advanced Device Fingerprinting technology. This allows us to identify and block malicious actors, bots, and traffickers even if they change their IP address. This data is processed strictly for security and is NOT used for marketing profiling.

4. The "Digital Vault" Data

If you register a device in our Digital Vault:

  • We store the link between your Email and the IMEI.
  • This data remains private unless you explicitly initiate a "Transfer of Ownership" or enable a public "Lost/Stolen" alert.
  • We do not sell this ownership data to third parties.

5. Data Retention

  • Security Logs (Velocity): Retained on a rolling basis (e.g., 12-24 months) to maintain historical fraud detection accuracy.
  • Ownership Data: Retained until you delete your account or unclaim the device.
  • Anonymized Data: Aggregated statistics (e.g., "15% of iPhone 14s are reported stolen") are retained indefinitely for market analysis.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to Access, Rectify, or Erase your personal data. You can exercise these rights by contacting us.

Exception to Erasure: Please note that we may refuse to delete specific security logs (e.g., IP addresses associated with confirmed fraud) based on our Legitimate Interest to prevent future attacks (GDPR Art. 17(3)(e)).
