LIBERTY DATA PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: October 29, 2026
Liberty Data, Inc. (“Liberty Data,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting privacy and maintaining transparency about our information practices. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained through our websites, products, services, and business activities. It also explains the privacy rights individuals may have under applicable law and how those rights may be exercised.
Our services include EIN lookup, TIN validation, business verification, and OFAC sanctions screening. We provide business information through our EIN lookup services. Results may include sole proprietorships that use an EIN for business tax purposes. These records may contain information associated with the business owner. Our services focus on businesses and business-related information. We do not provide identity verification of individual consumers.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USAGE
Information you provide. We collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, business name, business address, and telephone number, to create and administer your account and send notifications. We may also collect transaction details and information you provide in inquiries or support communications. Marketing opt-out instructions appear below.
Business information. We obtain business-related information from public records, government agencies, regulatory authorities, private data providers, and information provided directly by customers or website visitors. Such records may include business names, EINs, addresses, and information associated with sole proprietors or business representatives. Sole proprietors listed in our system may use an EIN. We do not collect Social Security numbers or driver’s license numbers.
Customer-submitted validation and search information. We process information submitted for validations, searches, and batch services to provide the requested service. We retain information entered by clients for validations or searches for 90 days. Information submitted for batch processing is not retained after processing is complete.
Account access. We use email addresses as account usernames to identify users and administer account access. We do not have access to the passwords users create.
Technical information. We collect IP addresses and approximate location derived from IP addresses. We may also automatically collect browser and device types, operating systems, and information about interactions with our websites through cookies and similar technologies.
We use information to provide and administer our products and services; create and maintain accounts; process transactions; respond to inquiries and support requests; and communicate about accounts, services, and service availability.
We also use information to improve our websites and services, analyze website usage and performance, market our products and services, measure communications and advertising effectiveness, protect systems, prevent fraud and misuse, meet legal and contractual obligations, and resolve disputes. These uses are subject to applicable law and any required consent or opt-out rights.
Data retention. We keep account records, invoices and transaction records, support communications, technical logs, and marketing contact information on file, including after an account closes. We do not currently apply a fixed, scheduled deletion period to these records. You may request that we purge these records by emailing support@libertydata.io. We will review and carry out deletion requests, subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions. Some information may need to be retained for legal recordkeeping, security, dispute resolution, or to honor a marketing opt-out.
Information entered by clients for validations or searches is retained for 90 days. Information submitted for batch processing is not retained after processing is complete. Recordings are retained only for the relevant engagement. HubSpot chat transcripts remain in our HubSpot account until deleted.
Children. Our websites and services are intended for organizations and individuals acting in a business capacity and are not directed to children under 16. If you believe we have collected personal information about a child through our websites or services, contact support@libertydata.io so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
Service providers. We use third-party providers to support website hosting, communications, customer service, analytics, payment processing, security, and other business operations, as applicable. These providers may process information to perform contracted services, subject to applicable contractual obligations and legal requirements. We use Stripe for payment processing; Stripe collects payment details in connection with those transactions.
Customer information. Liberty Data and the vendors processing information on our behalf do not sell information about our customers. This statement concerns information collected in connection with the customer relationship, such as account, billing, and support information. Business records made available through our EIN lookup and related information services are described separately below.
Legal and security purposes. We may disclose information where required by law or when reasonably necessary to respond to lawful requests, protect legal rights, investigate fraud or security incidents, or protect our customers and systems.
LIVE CHAT AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT
We use HubSpot, Inc. to provide live chat and customer support functionality. When visitors interact with live chat, HubSpot may collect and process names, email addresses, IP addresses, browser information, and the content of chat communications.
This information is used to respond to inquiries, provide support, facilitate communications, and maintain and improve our services. HubSpot processes information in connection with these services, subject to applicable contractual obligations and data protection requirements. For information about HubSpot’s privacy practices, visit https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy. Chat transcripts remain in our account on the HubSpot platform until we delete them.
USES SPECIFIC TO BUSINESS PURPOSES
Our customers use our services to support vendor onboarding, business verification, tax reporting, risk management, fraud prevention, and other lawful business and regulatory compliance activities. Liberty Data does not provide personal information to customers for the purpose of marketing to individual consumers. Our business information services are intended for legitimate business verification, compliance, and related authorized purposes.
Business customers. We provide business-related information and verification results to organizations using our services for authorized business purposes. Certain business records may contain personal information associated with individuals acting in a business capacity.
