Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2025

1. Overview

Max Intel ("the Site") is committed to transparency regarding data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information, if any, is collected when you use the Site and how it is handled.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Max Intel does not:

• Require user registration or account creation
• Collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers
• Store search queries or investigation data on any server
• Track individual users across sessions
• Sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties

3. Local Storage

The Site uses your browser's local storage (localStorage) to save investigation notes and user preferences such as your agreement acceptance and cookie consent. This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to any server. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

4. Cookies

Max Intel itself does not set tracking cookies. However:

• Essential storage: The Site uses localStorage (not cookies) to remember your agreement acceptance, cookie consent preference, and investigation notes. These are essential for site functionality.
• Analytics (if enabled): If the Site uses analytics services (such as Google Analytics), those services may set their own cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized usage data such as page views, session duration, and general geographic region. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
• Third-party services: When you follow links to external tools, those third-party sites may set their own cookies according to their own privacy policies. Max Intel has no control over third-party cookies.

5. Server Logs

Like most websites, the server hosting Max Intel may automatically log standard technical information including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. These logs are used solely for security monitoring and technical troubleshooting and are not used to identify individual users.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site links to numerous third-party tools and services, each with their own privacy practices. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before using it. Max Intel is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

7. Data Security

Since Max Intel does not collect or store personal data on its servers, the risk of data breach from the Site itself is minimal. However, you should take appropriate precautions when using any OSINT tools, including using a VPN if desired and being mindful of the information you enter into third-party services.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding personal data, including rights under the GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or similar legislation. Since Max Intel does not collect personal data, these rights are generally not applicable to your use of this Site. For data collected by third-party services linked from the Site, please contact those services directly.

10. Changes to This Policy

Max Intel reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
