1. Private-beta access
IDpurge is currently an invitation-only test service. It is not open to the general public and no paid public subscription is currently offered under these terms. Access may be limited, paused or withdrawn while bugs, security controls and operational processes are tested.
These terms are supplemented by the beta invitation or communication that identifies the individual operating the private beta and provides a direct contact method.
2. What IDpurge does
IDpurge is intended to help users understand where personal information may appear, organise and track privacy-removal work, communicate with supported brokers or organisations and show progress through a customer dashboard.
The service may include discovery, evidence recording, request preparation, removal or opt-out communications, follow-up tracking and ongoing monitoring features as they are developed.
3. Your authority and the information you provide
You must only use IDpurge in relation to personal information that:
- relates to you; or
- you are lawfully authorised to manage on behalf of another person.
You must provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and must not use the service to impersonate another person, access information unlawfully, harass an organisation or submit false privacy requests.
4. What IDpurge does not guarantee
No privacy-removal service can guarantee that every item of personal information will be discovered, that every broker will agree to remove information, that information will never reappear, or that a third party will respond within a particular time.
Some information may be lawfully retained, may come from public records, may be outside the scope of a removal right, or may require additional verification. Dashboard statuses describe the information recorded in IDpurge's workflow; they are not a guarantee about all information that may exist elsewhere.
5. Accounts and security
You are responsible for keeping access to your email account and authentication links secure. You must tell IDpurge promptly if you believe your account or email access has been compromised. IDpurge may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect you, another user or the service.
6. Privacy and broker communications
Use of the service involves processing personal information and may require limited disclosure of identifying information to a broker or organisation so that it can locate and act on the correct record. The Privacy Notice explains this in more detail.
7. Acceptable use
You must not:
- attempt to bypass authentication, access another user's data or interfere with security controls;
- use the service for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive or deceptive purposes;
- submit information you are not entitled to provide;
- probe, scrape or overload the service except with the operator's express permission for an agreed beta test; or
- misrepresent IDpurge's communications as legal advice, a court order or a regulatory demand.
8. Third-party services and brokers
IDpurge depends on third-party infrastructure and interacts with independent brokers and organisations. Those third parties control their own systems, response times and decisions. IDpurge is not responsible for a broker's website availability, independent privacy practices or refusal to act where that refusal is lawful.
9. Beta changes, faults and availability
The purpose of the beta is to find and correct problems before a public launch. Features may change, data may need to be reprocessed, and temporary interruptions may occur. IDpurge will take reasonable care but does not promise uninterrupted or error-free beta availability.
Testers should report unexpected behaviour, incorrect broker statuses, privacy concerns and suspected security issues promptly using the direct beta contact method supplied to them.
10. Charges and subscriptions
The current controlled beta does not create a paid subscription. A separate paid offering may be introduced later. Before taking payment from public customers, IDpurge must publish the incorporated trader's details and final consumer terms and must make price, billing frequency, renewal, cancellation and statutory cooling-off information clear before the customer orders.
The checkout must also be reviewed against the subscription-contract rules actually in force at the date of public launch, including any commenced provisions of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
11. Consumer cancellation rights for the future paid service
These beta terms do not take payment, but the future paid service must preserve all mandatory consumer cancellation rights. For an online service contract, this is expected to include the applicable statutory cooling-off period and clear information about cancellation before the order is placed.
If a future customer expressly asks IDpurge to begin providing a paid service during a statutory cancellation period, the checkout and confirmation process must capture any request or acknowledgement required by law before work starts. Nothing in these terms removes a consumer's statutory rights.
12. Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under consumer law.
Subject to those protections, IDpurge is not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when you joined the beta, losses caused by information you supplied incorrectly, or actions and decisions of independent brokers that are outside IDpurge's reasonable control.
13. Ending beta access
You may stop taking part in the beta at any time by contacting the operator. IDpurge may also end or suspend beta access where necessary for security, misuse, technical reasons or to close the test programme. Requests concerning deletion of your personal information are handled in accordance with the Privacy Notice and applicable law.
14. Governing law and disputes
These beta terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you retain any mandatory protections and rights to bring proceedings available to you under the law that applies to consumers in your part of the UK.
15. Mandatory update before public launch
These terms are deliberately marked as private-beta terms. Before IDpurge accepts payment from or actively markets to the public, the terms must be reviewed and replaced or updated to include the limited company's legal identity and trading disclosures, final subscription mechanics, price, billing and renewal rules, cancellation process, complaint route and any other consumer information required at that time.
