What Omxus stores about you
This is everything Omxus keeps for an account, in plain words.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address or mobile number, readable, and when you verified it | To send your codes and security notices | Until you change it or delete your account. Not yet verified: 30 days at most |
| Your usernames, shared or per site | So sites can show your name | Until you change them or delete your account |
| A scrambled form of your password, never the password | To check your password when you sign in | Until you change it or delete your account |
| The public part of each passkey, the site it's for, when you saved it and last used it, and whether it's backed up | To check passkey sign-ins | Until you remove it or delete your account |
| A site address for the name, date of birth and secret words way in, if you use it | To recognise that account | Until you delete your account |
| Your sessions: site, how you signed in, when, your browser, and a shortened network address | To keep you signed in and let you sign out anywhere | Up to 90 days per sign-in |
| Security events, with a shortened network address | So you can review activity, and to protect accounts | 90 days |
| Codes and sign-in tokens, as one-way fingerprints only | To check them once | Minutes to days, then they expire |
| Recent attempts from an address, account or network | To slow down and stop guessing | Used for 15 minutes |
| Whether support turned the account off, and why | To protect people from abuse | Until it's turned on again or the account is deleted |
For sites that moved to Omxus
If a site brought your account across, we also keep its old ID for you and any role you had there, for that site only, plus its old password record until your first sign-in replaces it.
What we don't store
- Your password or secret words.
- Your name or date of birth. Email and mobile accounts never ask for them, and the name, date of birth and secret words way in keeps them on your device.
- What you do on the sites you sign in to.
- Advertising profiles or tracking identifiers.
For the full legal detail, read the Privacy Policy.
