Executive Commitment: IndexVero operates under a strict Zero-Monetization, Zero-Footprint-Sharing, and Ephemeral-Processing data architecture. We recognize that your backlink lists, guest post targets, PBN topologies, and client URL deliverables represent proprietary intellectual property. Under no circumstances does IndexVero sell, rent, monetize, publicly expose, or share your submitted URL lists with third parties or search engines.
01. Scope & Definitions
This Policy specifically governs Submitted Customer Data across all IndexVero services:
- Raw URLs and domains entered into the Bulk Index Checker, Backlink Indexing Service, or any free tool.
- Batch datasets uploaded via CSV, TXT, or JSON formats.
- API payloads submitted via the IndexVero REST API endpoints.
- Associated campaign metadata, including target anchor text, project tags, and timestamped audit logs.
02. Non-Negotiable Confidentiality Guarantees
To protect agency client relationships and proprietary PBN networks, we provide the following legally binding commitments:
- No Competitor Intelligence Databases: IndexVero will never aggregate or analyze customer URLs to build public or private backlink spy databases (e.g., we do not sell backlink discovery data to third-party tools).
- No Search Engine Telemetry: Verification queries are dispatched through stateless proxy networks that strip all customer session tokens, user IDs, and account metadata. Google or Bing receives zero visibility into who initiated the query.
- No Vendor Footprint Sharing: Target URLs submitted to the indexing engine are sharded across independent discovery subnets without account-level correlation tags.
03. URL Data Lifecycle & Retention Matrix
Data retention is strictly limited to operational necessity:
| Processing Stage | Storage Medium | Encryption Standard | Default Retention Duration | User Deletion Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Live Scan Ingestion | Ephemeral RAM | TLS 1.3 in transit | Duration of scan (Seconds) | Instant upon browser close |
| Campaign Audit History | Isolated DB Record | AES-256 at rest | 30 Calendar Days | 1-Click Permanent Purge |
| Export Files (CSV/PDF) | Temporary Secure Bucket | AES-256 at rest | 7 Calendar Days | Automatic scheduled expiry |
| System Debug Logs | Sanitized Memory Log | Hashed & Anonymized | 24 to 48 Hours | Auto-rotated daily |
04. Security Architecture & Encryption Standards
- End-to-End Encryption: All data transmitted to IndexVero is protected via modern TLS 1.3 protocols.
- At-Rest Cryptography: Historical records and generated reports are stored using military-grade AES-256 encryption.
- Multi-Tenant Isolation: Logical segregation ensures no customer environment can access, query, or view another customer's data rows.
- Zero Staff Peeking: Internal operational staff are strictly prohibited from inspecting customer URL batches. All administrative database interactions require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and leave immutable audit logs.
05. User Control & GDPR / CCPA Erasure Rights
In full compliance with GDPR Article 17 (Right to Erasure) and CCPA, users maintain complete sovereignty over their data:
- Manual Instant Purge: You can permanently wipe any batch from your account dashboard with a single click. Once deleted, records cannot be recovered by anyone, including IndexVero support.
- Account Deletion: You may request complete account closure and cryptographic database wiping by contacting
[email protected].
06. Enterprise Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
For enterprise SEO agencies, white-label link resellers, and corporate clients with strict upstream client confidentiality obligations, IndexVero provides customized Mutual NDAs and Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) upon request. Zero-retention dedicated API endpoints are available for qualifying volume tiers.

07. Frequently Asked Questions
Does IndexVero share my backlink list with Ahrefs, Semrush, or SEO bots?
No. We do not sell data, partner with, or allow third-party SEO analytics crawlers to access our internal campaign databases.
Can Google penalize my site because I checked links on IndexVero?
No. IndexVero queries live search databases through third-party proxy networks without sending account tokens or domain signatures. Google cannot identify who ran the check.
If I upload a private PBN list, will my footprint be discovered?
No. Your PBN list remains strictly isolated within your encrypted account container and is never aggregated with other users' datasets.
