01Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how LeakTrace Inc uses cookies, tracking technologies, and similar tools when you interact with our outreach emails, visit our website, or use our services. This includes initial outreach to individuals whose anchor points — such as name, email, or phone — we have identified in monitored criminal-targeting sources, as part of our mission to proactively protect you from fraud.

By engaging with our outreach or using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as outlined in this policy.

02Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help improve your browsing experience by remembering preferences, login details, and providing analytics.

Other Tracking Technologies We Use

  • Pixel Tags / Web Beacons / Tracking Links: Small hidden images or code snippets that track user interactions — for example, email open rates or link clicks. These are used in outreach emails and SMS links to measure engagement before signup, and on our website after signup.
  • SDKs (Software Development Kits): Software provided by third parties to integrate services such as analytics or fraud prevention.
  • Local Storage & Session Storage: Technologies that store data on your device for site functionality and security.
03Types of Cookies We Use & Their Purpose
04Third-Party Cookies & Partners

LeakTrace currently uses Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our platform. This is the only active third-party cookie service at this time.

This policy will be updated as additional third-party services are activated.

05Managing Cookies & Your Choices

When you visit our website, you will be prompted to consent to the use of cookies through a cookie consent banner, except for essential cookies required for basic functionality. You can manage your preferences at any time as described below.

5.1 — Pre-Outreach Tracking

Our outreach tracking is part of a Security Verification Protocol. When you interact with an alert — for example, by clicking a link or replying "YES" — our systems log the technical interaction to provide a Compliance Audit Trail. This ensures we meet Canadian and US requirements for documenting consent-based interactions.

Before you sign up, we may use tracking pixels or links in outreach emails and SMS messages to measure engagement such as email opens or link clicks. Consent is collected via "YES" replies or link clicks, ensuring compliance with your opt-in choice.

  • Opt-out: Reply STOP to SMS, click Unsubscribe in emails, or email [email protected] to stop pre-signup tracking and outreach.
5.2 — Post-Signup Cookie Management

After signup, you can manage cookies via your browser settings:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, Search, and Services → Cookies

Alternatively, email [email protected] with "Cookie Opt-Out Request" and specify which cookies to disable.

06Pixel Tracking & Data Collection

LeakTrace uses tracking pixels in outreach emails and SMS links to measure engagement — for example, email opens and link clicks — before signup. Post-signup, these tie to consent-based identifiers you have manually consented to monitor.

Pre-signup pixels track engagement to refine outreach effectiveness and help us identify high-risk individuals whose anchor points tie to monitored criminal-targeting sources, enabling us to alert you effectively. See Terms of Service for details on how we use this data.

07Security & Data Protection

All cookie-related data is handled in compliance with PIPEDA (Canada) and CCPA (California) — secured with AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. This applies to both pre-signup tracking and post-signup website interactions.

We do not sell your cookie data to third parties. Pre-found anchor data — name, email, phone — identified in monitored criminal-targeting sources is separate from cookie data. See Terms of Service Section 5 for how we use this information.

08Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our cookie usage or regulatory requirements. Changes will be posted with a "Last Updated" date. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
