Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how bincheckerapi.com handles information for website visitors and API users.
Effective date: February 22, 2026
Last updated: February 22, 2026
Who this policy applies to
This policy applies to visitors of bincheckerapi.com, users of the public BIN lookup tools, and customers evaluating or using the BIN lookup API.
It explains what information may be processed when you use the website and related services.
Who operates this site
bincheckerapi.com is operated by Bit By Bit (Wrocław, Poland). Registered address: UL. LETNIA 1, PL-53-018, WROCŁAW.
The business operates from Wrocław, Poland.
Payment Card Data & PCI Compliance
We do not process, store, or log full Primary Account Numbers (PANs) or sensitive authentication data (SAD). Our services are designed to work only with the BIN (first 6-11 digits) of a payment card.
By using our tools or API, you agree not to submit full credit card numbers. If a full card number is inadvertently sent, it is not stored and is purged from our systems immediately. Our architecture is designed to minimize PCI-DSS audit scope for our users.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly, such as messages sent through support or API onboarding inquiries.
Technical and usage information needed to operate and secure the service, which may include IP address, request metadata, device/browser details, and server logs.
Payment and subscription-related information may be processed by third-party providers or marketplaces used to sell API access; we do not claim to store full payment card details on this site.
How we use information
To provide and maintain the BIN lookup website and API services.
To troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, and improve reliability and security.
To respond to support requests, service inquiries, and compliance obligations.
Legal bases for processing (GDPR)
Contract: when processing is necessary to provide requested services or evaluate API access.
Legitimate interests: for security monitoring, fraud prevention support, debugging, and service improvement.
Legal obligations: when records or disclosures are required by law.
Consent: where a specific feature requires consent, which may be withdrawn where applicable.
Data retention
We retain information only for as long as needed for service operation, security, support, legal compliance, and dispute resolution.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and operational requirements.
Sharing and third parties
Information may be shared with infrastructure and hosting providers that help operate the service.
API subscription and marketplace-related processing may involve third-party platforms such as RapidAPI or payment service providers acting under their own privacy terms.
We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the service, users, or the public.
International data transfers
Because service providers and users may be located in different countries, information may be processed outside your country of residence.
Where required, reasonable safeguards are used for international transfers.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or request portability of your personal data.
Users in the EEA/UK may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise rights, contact us at privacy@bincheckerapi.com.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site may use essential technical mechanisms necessary to deliver pages, secure the service, and support basic functionality.
This policy does not claim use of any specific analytics vendor unless and until such tooling is implemented and disclosed.
Data security
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure.
Users should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through general contact channels.
Children’s privacy
The service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children in connection with the site or API services.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
