Privacy & Data Sovereignty Policy
Effective Date: February 4, 2026 Agency Protocol: Zero-Knowledge / Forensic Integrity
1. Our Commitment to Sovereignty
At the Data Recovery Agency (D.R.A.), we do not merely "manage" data; we protect the sovereignty of your digital life. Leveraging a background in law enforcement forensics and Level III field engineering, our privacy standards exceed industry norms. We treat every byte of information as sensitive evidence, ensuring a strictly controlled chain of custody.
2. Information We Collect
To provide elite recovery and defense services, we collect:
Client Identification: Name, corporate affiliation, and contact details for the purpose of the Assigned Agent partnership.
Technical Metadata: File types, file system architecture, and encryption parameters required for recovery.
Target Data (The "Ghost" Protocol): Specific identifiers you authorize us to neutralize or remove from the public web.
3. Forensic Custody & Storage
Unlike "volume labs" that use shared cloud servers, D.R.A. utilizes high-security protocols:
Air-Gapped Processing: Sensitive recoveries are performed on isolated workstations with no connection to the public internet to prevent "leach" attacks or external intercepts.
Encrypted Archival: Recovered data is stored in AES-256 bit encrypted volumes and is never moved to unverified third-party cloud storage.
Automatic Purge: Unless otherwise requested for legal/insurance "Hold" periods, all recovered data is cryptographically wiped from our systems 14 days after successful delivery to the client.
4. Zero-Sale Guarantee
D.R.A. is a boutique agency, not a data broker. We never sell, lease, or trade your personal or professional data. Your engagement with us is confidential. We do not use "customer success stories" or testimonials without written legal consent and the sanitization of all identifying technical details.
5. Legal & Law Enforcement Requests
Given our background, we respect the rule of law. However, we do not provide "backdoor" access to any client data. We only comply with legal requests (subpoenas or warrants) that are verified, specific, and legally binding under the jurisdiction of Wichita Falls, Texas, or federal law.
6. The "Digital Ghost" Clause
Clients utilizing our deletion services understand that we act as your Authorized Agent. We use technical and investigative means to compel third-party brokers to remove your data. While we guarantee our efforts and results, we do not control the independent actions of third-party platforms.
7. Contact Your Agent
For questions regarding the security of your hardware or the status of your data erasure, contact your assigned Agent directly through your secure communication channel.
In Addition:
Right to Delete & the DROP Platform: Explicitly mention that California residents can use the DROP (Delete Request and Opt-out Platform) to request data deletion.
Texas Consumer Rights: List the rights to Access, Correct, Delete, and Portability of data.
Sensitive Data Disclosure: You must have a clear "Notice of Collection" for biometric or geolocation data if your "sniffers" collect that from site visitors.
Response Timelines: State that you will respond to data requests within 45 days (as required by both TX and CA law).
We may Sell/Broker your sensitive personal data. Only If You Authorize!
(Note: Texas law requires this specific wording if you share sensitive data for any "consideration".)
