Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 7, 2026

BankCheck is a free bank number validation tool built with privacy as a core principle. This policy explains what data we collect (very little), how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

We do not collect personal data through the validation tool. All bank number validation runs entirely client-side in your browser using JavaScript. No bank numbers, account details, or validation inputs are sent to any server.

Our web server may automatically receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and referring page. This data is used solely for operating and securing the service and is not linked to any personal identity.

Cookies & Analytics

We plan to use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to understand how visitors use BankCheck, such as which pages are visited and which formats are most popular. When active, Google Analytics may set performance and analytics cookies on your device.

Current status: As of the last updated date above, analytics tracking is not yet active. BankCheck currently sets no cookies and loads no third-party tracking scripts.

When analytics is enabled, you will be able to opt out by using your browser's cookie settings, enabling the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or using a content blocker.

Data Processing

Bank numbers you enter are processed exclusively in your browser. They are never transmitted, logged, or stored by BankCheck. Validation algorithms run locally using JavaScript, and results are displayed without any server round-trip.

Third-Party Services

BankCheck uses or plans to use the following third-party services:

  • Hosting provider — serves the website and may process standard server logs (IP address, request time, page visited)
  • Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager (planned) — anonymous usage analytics. See the Cookies & Analytics section above for current status.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Under the GDPR (EU/EEA):

  • Right of access to your personal data
  • Right to rectification or deletion
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to object to or restrict processing
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time

Under the CCPA (California):

  • Right to know what personal data is collected
  • Right to request deletion of personal data
  • Right to opt out of the sale of personal data

Since BankCheck does not collect personal data through its validation tool, these rights primarily apply to any data that may be collected through analytics (when active) or server logs.

Data Retention

BankCheck does not retain any user-submitted data. Bank numbers entered into the tool exist only in your browser's memory during your session and are never persisted.

Children's Privacy

BankCheck is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
