Privacy Notice

How we handle cybersecurity service information

Cybersecurity work often includes sensitive facts, so privacy needs to be clear before the first consultation. This notice is written for clients, prospects, business owners, technical teams, and individuals who contact EthicalCracker about authorized security help.

Information we collect

We may collect contact details, company details, service requests, asset descriptions, authorization records, screenshots, logs, evidence files, and communications needed to scope or deliver cybersecurity services.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, verify authorization, scope engagements, deliver reports, preserve necessary records, improve service quality, and meet legal or contractual duties.

Sensitive evidence

Cybersecurity work can involve sensitive facts. We ask clients to share only what is needed, use approved channels for sensitive material, and avoid sending passwords or unnecessary private data during initial intake.

Retention

We retain inquiry records, authorization notes, reports, and evidence only as long as needed for delivery, legal review, dispute handling, security, or agreed client requirements.

Sharing

We do not sell client information. We may share limited information with service providers, legal advisors, or authorities where required by law or necessary to protect clients and systems.

Security controls

We use access controls, data minimization, least-privilege handling, and reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for client information.

Client rights

Clients may request correction, deletion, or access to records where applicable law and engagement obligations allow.

Questions about privacy or evidence handling can be sent to contact@ethicalcracker.info.

Evidence Handling

How to share sensitive material safely

Initial contact should describe the situation without exposing passwords, private keys, unnecessary personal records, or unrelated third-party data. If logs, screenshots, device details, account alerts, transaction records, or cloud evidence are needed, we agree on the safest transfer method before you send them.

Security evidence should stay tied to a purpose: scoping, authorization review, incident response, recovery guidance, legal review, remediation, or validation. We avoid collecting material that does not help answer the security question. When a report is delivered, it should explain what evidence was used, why it mattered, and what should be retained or removed after the engagement.

If a request involves another person, another company, a financial institution, a platform account, or a device you do not own, privacy and legal boundaries may prevent us from reviewing it. In those cases, we can often suggest safer documentation or escalation steps instead of accepting unsafe access.

Client Responsibilities

Privacy works best when scope is clear

Clients should share accurate ownership details, avoid sending unnecessary sensitive material, remove unrelated personal data where possible, and tell us about any legal, regulatory, employment, insurance, or contractual restrictions that affect the work. If the request changes after intake, the privacy and evidence-handling expectations may also need to change.

Share only what matters

Send enough information to scope the issue, but avoid broad archives, passwords, private keys, or unrelated third-party material.

Name decision-makers

Tell us who can approve access, who can receive reports, and who should be contacted if sensitive evidence appears.

Update us when facts change

If new alerts, legal instructions, platform responses, or business impacts appear, share those updates so the record stays accurate.

Authorization Boundary

Privacy does not override lawful scope

We do not provide credential theft, unauthorized access, hidden surveillance, social media hacking, extortion, bank manipulation, review-platform hacking, malware creation, or instructions for illegal activity. Every engagement requires proof of ownership or written authorization.

Important note

This policy is a practical website privacy notice, not legal advice. Production launch should include review by counsel based on your operating location, client locations, payment methods, analytics tools, hosting stack, and data-processing vendors.
