Q: GDPR?
Could you please explain how you are "GDPR-compliant" (not talking about your website, but your service)?

Jun 2, 2025A: When we say Mailcheck is GDPR-compliant, we're referring specifically to how our service handles data, not just the website. Here's what that looks like:
- We only process the email address that's submitted for validation — nothing more. No names, IPs, or other personal info are collected.
- Email addresses are not stored after validation. Everything is processed in real time, and we don’t keep logs of the data unless there's a specific request or agreement in place.
- The emails are used strictly for the purpose of validation, nothing else. We don’t reuse, share, or send anything to them.
- From a compliance standpoint, we operate under legitimate interest — helping people reduce bounces, protect sender reputation, and keep their email lists clean.
- Our infrastructure partners are GDPR-compliant as well. If any data ever leaves the EU, it’s covered by Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure it's handled properly.
- And of course, if someone does want to access or delete their data, we respect all GDPR rights — even though we don’t retain anything by default.
Let me know if you'd like more info — happy to provide anything else!
Thanks, I could not find your DPA anywhere (or even a mention about GDPR in your website), except for a logo and a few words telling your visitors that you are, without explaining how. Thanks in advance for a link.
Thank you for the clarification. You can find details of our data processing practices outlined in the Privacy section of our website: https://mailcheck.co/privacy.
If you're a business operating within the EU, I’d be happy to provide a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) as part of your due diligence process. Feel free to reach out to us at legal@mailcheck.co.
Please note: Mailcheck.co uses industry-standard security practices and infrastructure partners (e.g., Google Cloud Platform) who are
themselves GDPR-compliant. All data transmission is encrypted.
