Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 7, 2026

At NumID, we believe your privacy is fundamental. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

1. Data We Collect

NumID collects only the minimum data necessary to provide our service:

  • Phone Number: Verified via SMS OTP during signup. Used to create your unique NumID address and for account recovery.
  • Destination Email: Where you want emails forwarded. Verified through a code sent by Cloudflare.
  • Avatar Image (Optional): Your profile picture, stored on Cloudflare R2 (AWS-backed object storage) in the us-west region.
  • Social Profiles (Optional): Links to your public profiles (Twitter, GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.) shown on your public directory.
  • Vault Items (Encrypted): Credentials, notes, and sensitive data encrypted end-to-end. We never see the plaintext.
  • Usage Logs: Audit trail of account actions (logins, email changes, vault edits) for security.

2. Data Storage & Security

Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL hosted on AWS) in the us-east-1 region. Data is encrypted at rest.

Vault Encryption: Your vault items are encrypted client-side using AES-256 before leaving your browser. Only you can decrypt them—NumID servers never have access to the plaintext keys.

Email Forwarding: Cloudflare Email Routing handles your incoming emails. Email headers are processed by Cloudflare's servers; we do not store the email content.

Avatars: Stored on Cloudflare R2 (AWS S3-compatible) with public read access so your profile picture displays on your public directory page.

In Transit: All communication between your browser and NumID servers uses TLS 1.3 encryption. We use HTTPS everywhere.

3. What We Do NOT Do

  • No Ads: We do not show advertisements or sell ad space.
  • No Data Sales: We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
  • No Third-Party Sharing: We do not share your data with external services except those required to operate (Supabase, Cloudflare, AWS, Twilio for SMS verification).
  • No Tracking: We do not use analytics pixels, cookies, or third-party trackers to follow your behavior.
  • No Reading Your Emails: Cloudflare Email Routing forwards emails directly to your destination inbox. NumID never reads the content.
  • No Vault Access: Your encrypted vault items cannot be decrypted by NumID employees or servers.

4. Your Rights

Data Export: You can download all your data (profile, audit logs, vault metadata) in JSON format from your dashboard.

Account Deletion: You can permanently delete your account and all associated data. After deletion, there is a 30-day grace period before permanent removal from backups.

Right to Be Forgotten: Under GDPR and similar regulations, you have the right to request erasure of your personal data. See our GDPR/Data Rights page for details.

Correction: You can update your email, name, avatar, and social profiles at any time from your account settings.

5. Third-Party Services

NumID relies on the following third-party services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please review their policies:

6. Cookies & Tracking

We only use essential cookies for:

  • Maintaining your session (authentication)
  • Storing your theme preference (light/dark mode)

We do not use analytics services, pixels, or third-party cookies.

7. Data Retention

  • Active Accounts: Data is retained as long as your account is active.
  • Deleted Accounts: After deletion, data is removed from live databases within 24 hours. Backups are retained for 30 days, then permanently deleted.
  • Audit Logs: Security logs are retained for 90 days for fraud investigation.

8. Compliance

NumID is committed to compliance with:

  • GDPR (EU): You have rights to access, export, and delete your data.
  • CCPA (California, USA): You have the right to know, delete, and opt-out of data sales (which we don't do anyway).
  • PIPEDA (Canada): Your personal information is protected under Canadian privacy law.
