LeakNix for Business privacy notice

What LeakNix for Business stores about a company and the work addresses it watches, where, for how long, and who can see it. Last updated 2 November 2026.

Who this notice is for

This notice covers LeakNix for Business: the companies that use it, the people they invite, and the people whose work addresses they watch. The LeakNix Privacy Policy covers the free check on leaknix.com and the LeakNix app.

The company that adds an address decides that it is watched. LeakNix keeps and processes the address, and what is found about it, for that company.

If your employer uses LeakNix for Business

If your employer uses LeakNix for Business, it may see that your work address appeared in a breach and a masked form of a password that leaked with it. It cannot see the password.

It also sees which breaches your work address is in, the kinds of data each of those breaches held, and, when your address is in an infostealer log, the date the log was collected.

If your employer turns on employee notifications, LeakNix may email you about a new exposure of your work address, at your employer's request. The email says what kind of data leaked and what to do. It never shows a password.

Questions about why your address is watched go to your employer. Anything else: support@leaknix.com.

What we store

About a customer: the company name, the users' emails and roles, sessions (hashed), the audit log (actions, hashed IP addresses), domains and their verification state, the addresses on verified domains, which breaches each address appears in, the data classes of those breaches, masked passwords, infostealer collection dates, alerts, tasks and notes, the posture and certificate readings of verified domains, the software list, the supplier domains, integration destinations (webhook URLs encrypted at rest) and the billing customer and subscription ids.

Not stored: plaintext passwords, names, dates of birth, phone numbers or postal addresses from a breach row (only the data class labels), response bodies from your servers, card numbers.

Where the data comes from

Public breach records, infostealer logs, public DNS, certificate transparency logs, registry data, government vulnerability catalogs and, only for verified domains, the company's own servers. Every row in the app names the kind of source it came from.

To check an address, LeakNix sends that address to the breach data providers. It never sends a password or a name.

Where it is stored

The database is a managed Postgres in Ireland (eu-west-1). Payments are handled by the payment processor; LeakNix never sees a card number. Emails are sent through a transactional email provider. The website runs on a hosting platform in front of it. The subprocessor table at the end names each one and what it receives.

How long we keep it

How long each kind of data is kept, per plan

Exposures, posture and certificate history90 days1 year2 years3 years

After you cancel30 days, then the account returns to Free and anything over its limits is removed after a seven-day notice

Backups are the database provider's own and follow the same windows.

Who can see it

Three roles. The owner alone touches billing and can delete the company; admins change everything else; viewers see everything and change nothing. Every change in the app is written to an append-only audit log that the company's users can read.

LeakNix staff can reach the database for support with a service key. In this version the audit log does not record operator reads; it will say so until it does.

Cookies

Signing in to the app sets one cookie, which keeps you signed in for up to 30 days and is sent only to LeakNix for Business pages. It holds a random token; the token is stored hashed.

These pages use the same analytics as the rest of leaknix.com, described in the LeakNix Privacy Policy.

Your requests

You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by writing to support@leaknix.com. When the data is a work address your employer watches, we pass the request to the company that added it, because that company decides what is watched.
