Security & Trust

How LeadSleuth handles data — in plain language, with the specifics you'd want to check.

Public data only

LeadSleuth researches people who have publicly expressed a business need: public posts on Hacker News and Bluesky (Reddit coming soon), and public web pages such as personal sites and company pages. We never access private messages, content behind logins, or non-public profiles, and our systems are instructed to exclude special-category data (health, religion, politics, sexual orientation, etc.) even when it appears in public sources. Every claim in a dossier links back to its public source.

Nothing is ever sent on your behalf: LeadSleuth drafts, humans send.

Encryption

  • In transit: all traffic is served exclusively over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+) at Cloudflare's edge; internal service-to-service calls are encrypted as well.
  • At rest: application data lives in Cloudflare D1 and Cloudflare KV, which encrypt all stored data at rest by default on Cloudflare's infrastructure.
  • Sessions: passwordless magic-link sign-in; sessions use a single HttpOnly, Secure cookie. No passwords are ever stored. No advertising or third-party analytics trackers.

Subprocessors

We use a small, documented set of processors. Model inputs are not used to train models.

Data retention

  • Account data (email, ICP settings): kept while your account is active; deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
  • Leads and dossiers: kept while the owning account is active, at most 12 months from creation, then deleted or anonymized.
  • Operational logs: retained up to 90 days for security and debugging.
  • Deletion-request records: kept for 24 months as evidence of compliance.

Deletion & your rights

Anyone — with or without an account — can request removal of their data via the self-serve removal page. Account holders can also export all of their data (JSON) and delete their account directly in Settings → Data & privacy. Full detail, including GDPR/CCPA specifics, lives in our Privacy Policy.
