Nature of this service

EmailLeaked.com is a free, publicly accessible informational service. It provides breach-awareness results, security guides, and protective recommendations for general educational purposes. EmailLeaked is not a professional cybersecurity firm, security operations center, law firm, financial institution, credit bureau, identity theft protection service, insurance provider, or government agency. Nothing on this site — including breach results, risk labels, protective steps, or any other content — constitutes professional cybersecurity advice, legal advice, financial advice, credit advice, or medical advice.

Reading or acting on information from this site does not create any professional relationship of any kind between you and EmailLeaked. Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions that could have legal, financial, or personal safety implications.

Breach data accuracy and completeness

Breach information displayed by the Service is sourced from industry-standard third-party breach data providers. EmailLeaked does not generate, investigate, verify, or certify the accuracy of the underlying breach records. Breach data can be and often is: incomplete at the time of initial disclosure; delayed — data may be publicly released weeks, months, or years after an incident occurred; disputed — organizations and researchers may disagree about the scope, authenticity, or attribution of a breach; corrected over time — as investigations progress and regulatory notices are filed, available information evolves; or removed — providers may remove records they determine to be inauthentic or out of scope.

A result showing your email address as "not found" or "clean" does not guarantee that your data has never been compromised in any breach. It means your address was not found in the specific datasets checked at the time of your query. Coverage is finite and changes continuously as new data is verified and ingested by upstream providers. Private breaches — meaning incidents not yet publicly disclosed or not included in any third-party dataset — fall entirely outside the scope of what any breach checker can detect.

If you receive a formal breach notification from a company, financial institution, employer, school district, government agency, or other organization, follow that official notice and the specific instructions it contains. Do not rely on EmailLeaked results as a substitute for or contradiction of an official notification from the organization that experienced the breach.

Breach summaries and explainer content

Breach pages and explainer articles on this site summarize the best publicly available information at the time they are written or last reviewed. They are not forensic reports, regulatory filings, or authoritative legal records. They should not be used as evidence in any legal proceeding. Information in breach summaries may become outdated as investigations conclude, litigation settles, and regulatory findings are published. EmailLeaked endeavors to correct material errors promptly but cannot guarantee that all information is current at the time you read it.

No guarantee of results

EmailLeaked makes no representation that using the Service, reading its content, or following any recommendation it contains will prevent identity theft, financial fraud, account compromise, malware infection, phishing attacks, credential stuffing, or any other form of cybercrime or harm. Cybersecurity is a field with no absolute guarantees. Recommendations such as changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, or freezing credit are general best practices that reduce risk — they do not eliminate it. Individual outcomes depend on factors entirely outside our control, including the security practices of third-party services you use, the actions of threat actors, and circumstances specific to your situation.

No professional advice

Not legal advice. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. If you believe you have suffered harm as a result of a data breach and are considering legal action, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. Legal rights, statutes of limitation, class action eligibility, and available remedies vary significantly by location and circumstance.

Not financial or credit advice. Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice or credit counseling. If your financial information, payment card details, Social Security number, or banking credentials may have been exposed, contact your financial institution directly and consider consulting a licensed financial advisor or credit counseling service.

Not professional cybersecurity advice. The security recommendations on this site are general consumer guidance, not professional security assessments, penetration test findings, incident response plans, or enterprise security recommendations. Organizations dealing with a confirmed breach or security incident should engage a qualified cybersecurity professional or incident response firm.

Not identity theft resolution services. EmailLeaked does not provide identity theft recovery, fraud resolution, or case management services of any kind. If you believe you are the victim of identity theft, contact the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov (United States), Action Fraud (United Kingdom), or the equivalent consumer protection agency in your country.

Security recommendations are general guidance

When EmailLeaked suggests actions — such as changing a password, enabling multi-factor authentication, freezing credit, monitoring accounts, or contacting a service provider — these are general protective steps applicable to many consumers in typical circumstances. They are not personalized incident response plans. The appropriate steps for any individual depend on the type of data exposed, the specific accounts affected, your location, any instructions received from the affected organization, and other factors we cannot assess on your behalf.

Urgent safety situations — such as an actively compromised email account, unauthorized financial transactions, or evidence of ongoing identity fraud — require immediate contact with the affected organization, your financial institution, or relevant authorities. EmailLeaked is not an emergency support channel and cannot provide real-time assistance.

Advertising and affiliate links

The Service displays advertising through Google AdSense on certain pages. Advertising content is served by Google and is subject to Google's own terms and policies. Advertisers do not influence breach results, risk labels, or any editorial content.

Certain content pages may contain affiliate links to security-focused products and services. Where affiliate links are present, a disclosure is included near the relevant link. EmailLeaked currently has no active affiliate partnerships. When affiliate partnerships exist, they do not influence breach results, breach coverage, or how risk is assessed. A product cannot pay to appear in results or receive a more favorable rating. See our Disclosure Policy for complete details.

External links

The Service may contain links to official help centers, regulatory agencies, security research publications, news sources, and other third-party websites for reference and context. EmailLeaked does not control the content, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, or security of any external site. Links are provided for convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement of the linked site, its operators, or any products or services it may offer. You access external sites at your own risk.

Third-party data sources

The breach checker queries industry-standard breach data sources. EmailLeaked is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by those data providers. All trademarks referenced in breach summaries belong to their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only. Their mention does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by those trademark owners.

Service availability

EmailLeaked makes no warranty that the Service will be available at any particular time or continuously. The Service may be unavailable due to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, infrastructure outages, upstream API provider outages, or other factors beyond our control. We are not liable for any damages arising from temporary or permanent unavailability of the Service.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, EmailLeaked, its operators, officers, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special, or punitive damages of any kind arising out of or related to: (a) your use of or inability to use the Service; (b) any reliance on breach results, risk assessments, or recommendations provided by the Service; (c) any failure to prevent identity theft, fraud, account compromise, or other harm despite following the Service's guidance; (d) the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of breach data provided by third-party upstream sources; or (e) the availability or performance of the Service at any time.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory advanced — whether contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise — and even if EmailLeaked has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not permit exclusion of certain damages, in which case the above limitation applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer.
