Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Data Controller
BINLookupAPI is a trading style of Jade Technologies Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number: 15043871). Our registered office is at 7 Bell Yard, London, England, WC2A 2JR. Jade Technologies Limited is the data controller responsible for your personal information.
About This Policy
BINLookupAPI is a business-to-business (B2B) service. Our customers are typically merchants, payment processors, fintech companies, and developers who integrate our API into their applications.
Data Processing Roles:
- YOU (the customer) are the data controller for any personal data in your own systems and applications
- WE are the data controller for YOUR account information (email, credentials, usage logs, payment details)
- We are NOT a processor of your end-users' personal data - we do not receive full payment card numbers, cardholder names, or other personal data about your customers
When you query BINs through our API, you typically extract the BIN (first 6-8 digits) from a payment card number in your own system. We only receive the BIN, not the full card number or any cardholder personal data. You remain the data controller for your end-user data and are responsible for your own privacy compliance.
Data Processing Agreement: While we do not typically process personal data on your behalf (since BINs are not personal data), if your specific use case requires a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), please contact support@binlookupapi.com and we will assess your requirements.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, use our API, or communicate with us.
Account Information:
- Email address and account credentials
- Company name and billing information (for paid plans)
- Communications with our support team
Payment Information:
Payment information is processed securely by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers. Stripe provides us with a tokenized reference to your payment method and transaction history. See Stripe's Privacy Policy for details on their data handling.
Technical and Usage Information:
- IP addresses (for security, abuse prevention, and rate limiting)
- Device and browser information (user agent, operating system)
- API authentication tokens and keys
- Timestamps of account activity and API requests
- Error logs and diagnostic information
- Product usage analytics (pages visited, features used, interaction patterns) collected via PostHog
- Anti-bot verification data (device characteristics, behavioral patterns) via hCaptcha
1A. BIN Query Data
When you use our API, you submit Bank Identification Numbers (BINs) for lookup. BINs themselves are not personal data - they identify card issuing programs and banks, not individuals. However, we log metadata about your queries to operate our service.
What We Log:
- The BIN numbers you query
- Your API key identifier (linked to your account)
- Timestamp of each query
- Your IP address
- HTTP request headers (user agent, etc.)
- Response status code and data returned
- Error messages (if applicable)
How We Use Query Data:
- Enforce rate limits and monitor quota usage for your plan
- Generate billing records and usage reports for your account
- Detect abuse, fraud, and Terms of Service violations (e.g., systematic BIN range scanning)
- Improve our BIN database accuracy and coverage
- Identify trending BIN queries to prioritize database updates
- Diagnose technical issues and API performance problems
- Generate anonymized, aggregated analytics (e.g., 'most queried card brands' or 'average response times')
Data Sharing: We do not sell or share your individual query data with third parties. Aggregated, anonymized analytics (with no customer-identifiable information) may be used for industry research or marketing purposes.
Retention: We retain complete API request logs (including BIN numbers, timestamps, and IP addresses) for the lifetime of your account as a core product feature. These logs are accessible via the "Usage" tab in your account dashboard and serve multiple purposes:
- Provide you with comprehensive usage analytics and historical reporting
- Enable you to audit your API usage and track patterns over time
- Support billing verification and quota management
- Facilitate fraud investigations and abuse detection across extended timeframes
- Allow you to maintain records for your own compliance and auditing purposes
We have assessed that maintaining complete historical request logs is necessary and proportionate, as the benefits (valuable analytics for customers, long-term abuse prevention, forensic capabilities) outweigh the privacy impact of logging IP addresses. Safeguards include encryption at rest, restricted access controls, and use only for stated purposes.
Upon account deletion, all request logs are permanently deleted after 30 days (or 7 years if retention is required for legal compliance such as tax obligations).
Your Control:
Dashboard Access: You can view your complete API request history in real-time via the "Usage" tab in your account dashboard. This shows each API request you've made, including BIN queried, timestamp, IP address, response status, and response time. You can export this usage data at any time for your own records.
Deletion Rights: You can request deletion of your query logs at any time by contacting support@binlookupapi.com. Note that deletion will remove the usage analytics feature from your account and may affect our ability to investigate technical issues or abuse patterns. See Section 8 for your full data subject rights.
Objection Rights: You can object to indefinite retention of IP addresses in your query logs based on your particular situation. We will assess your objection and may accommodate your request by deleting IP addresses from historical logs while retaining other usage data necessary for service provision. Contact support@binlookupapi.com to exercise this right.
2. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
Contract (Article 6(1)(b)):
Processing necessary to provide the services you have subscribed to, including account creation, API access, billing, and customer support. This includes processing your email, payment information, and API usage data.
Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)):
Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, where such processing does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. We have conducted a balancing assessment for each legitimate interest purpose:
- Fraud and Abuse Prevention: Logging IP addresses, API usage patterns, and request metadata to detect malicious activity, prevent service abuse (e.g., scraping, DDoS attacks), and protect our infrastructure. Our interest: protecting our service and customers. Your interest: minimal intrusion (IP addresses are logged by most web services). Safeguards: access controls, encryption.
- Service Improvement: Analyzing usage patterns (in aggregated, anonymized form) to improve our BIN database coverage and API performance. Our interest: providing better service to all customers. Your interest: indirect benefit through improved service. Safeguards: data is anonymized before analysis, individual customer patterns are not examined.
- Security Monitoring: Detecting and responding to security threats, including unauthorized access attempts, brute force attacks, and vulnerability exploitation. Our interest: protecting customer data and service integrity. Your interest: security protection. Safeguards: automated alerts, retention limits, access controls.
- Business Operations: Sending operational updates, security alerts, and service-related messages (not marketing). Our interest: keeping customers informed of service status and security issues. Your interest: awareness of service issues. Safeguards: emails limited to genuinely operational matters.
Right to Object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time by contacting support@binlookupapi.com. We will assess your objection and cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)):
Processing necessary to comply with legal obligations, including UK tax law (7-year retention of payment records), UK GDPR (data breach reporting), and lawful requests from law enforcement or regulators.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)):
For marketing communications, we obtain your explicit consent through an opt-in mechanism during account registration or via your account settings. See Section 3A for details on marketing communications.
Data Minimization: We collect only the minimum personal data necessary to provide our services. We do not collect sensitive personal data (racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, health data, or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation).

3B. Automated Decision-Making
We use automated systems to protect our service and ensure fair usage. Under UK GDPR Article 22, you have the right to information about automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects.
Automated Systems We Use:
- Rate Limiting and Throttling: Automated enforcement of plan quotas. If you exceed rate limits, our system automatically throttles or temporarily blocks API requests. Logic: request count vs. plan limits. Consequence: temporary service restriction. Review: contact support@binlookupapi.com for immediate human review.
- Abuse Detection: Automated detection of suspicious patterns such as systematic BIN range scanning, rapid enumeration attacks, or credential stuffing. Logic: pattern recognition, anomaly detection, velocity checks. Consequence: temporary API key suspension or account review. Review: contact support@binlookupapi.com within 48 hours (business days) for human review and explanation.
- Payment Fraud Prevention: Automated risk scoring for payment transactions (handled by Stripe). Logic: Stripe's proprietary fraud detection models. Consequence: payment may be declined or require additional verification. Review: contact support@binlookupapi.com and we will work with Stripe to review the decision.
- Bot Detection (hCaptcha): Automated verification that you are human, not a bot. Logic: hCaptcha's proprietary bot detection algorithms. Consequence: May be required to solve CAPTCHA challenge. Review: Contact support if you believe you've been incorrectly flagged as a bot.
Your Rights:
- Right to human review of any automated decision affecting your access
- Right to explanation of the logic and reasoning behind the decision
- Right to contest the decision and present your case
- Right to have the decision reviewed and potentially overturned
Not Used For: We do not use automated decision-making for credit scoring, employment decisions, insurance underwriting, or other high-impact decisions affecting your fundamental rights.
4. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. When data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Specific Retention Periods:
- Account Information: Retained until you request account deletion, then for 7 years to comply with UK tax law and legal obligations. After 7 years, permanently deleted.
- Payment Records: Retained for 7 years as required by UK tax law (HMRC record-keeping requirements), then permanently deleted. This includes invoices, payment confirmations, and transaction history.

- API Request Logs: We retain complete API request logs (including IP addresses) for the lifetime of your account as a core product feature. These logs are accessible via your account dashboard's "Usage" tab.
Account Deletion Process:
Account deletion occurs when: (1) you request deletion via your dashboard or by emailing support@binlookupapi.com; (2) 30 days after termination for non-payment; or (3) 12 months of complete inactivity (no logins or API usage).
Upon deletion request, we immediately deactivate your account and API access. We retain account data for 30 days (to allow you to change your mind), then permanently delete it, except where retention is required by law (payment records for tax compliance).
Data Accuracy: We take reasonable steps to ensure personal data is accurate and up to date. You can update your account information at any time via your account dashboard. If you identify any inaccurate data, please contact support@binlookupapi.com and we will correct it promptly.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our service and provide you with a secure experience. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your web browser.
Essential Cookies:
These cookies are necessary for our website and API dashboard to function properly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without preventing core features from working.

Analytics and Performance Cookies:
We use Fathom Analytics (Canada) for privacy-focused website analytics. Fathom does not use cookies, does not track users across sites, and collects only anonymized, aggregated data about website usage (pages visited, referral sources, country-level location). See usefathom.com/privacy.
For logged-in customers, we use PostHog (United States) for dashboard usage analytics to improve our product. PostHog may set a session cookie (posthog_session, 24 hours) to track dashboard usage patterns. This data is used solely for product improvement and is not shared with third parties for marketing.
Advertising and Tracking Cookies:
We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or any cross-site tracking technologies. We do not participate in advertising networks or sell user data to advertisers.
Third-Party Cookies:
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies:
- Stripe: Our payment processor may set cookies during the payment process for fraud prevention. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
API Request Logging (Not Cookie-Based):
When you use our API, we log request metadata (IP address, timestamp, endpoint accessed, response code) for operational, security, and abuse prevention purposes. This is server-side logging, not cookie-based tracking. See Section 1A for details on what we log and how we use it.
Your Cookie Choices:
Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable or refuse cookies, some features of our dashboard may not function properly. Essential cookies are required for account login and API key management.
API Access: Our API does not require cookies for authentication. You authenticate via API keys passed in HTTP headers, so API functionality is not affected by cookie settings.
Do Not Track: Some browsers have a 'Do Not Track' (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to be tracked. Since we do not use tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking, the DNT setting does not materially affect our data collection practices.
