This site collects almost nothing, and the reasons are structural rather than a promise we are asking you to take on trust. Here is exactly what happens.
The free company search and the customer-list checker both work by downloading our case index as a static file and matching against it on your device. The company names you type are never sent to us, because there is no server here to send them to. We do not know what you searched for, we could not tell you if you asked, and there is nothing to log, leak or hand over.
That is a deliberate design choice on the list checker in particular. A customer list is the business, and nobody sensible uploads one to a site they found ten minutes ago.
Every free tool works without telling us who you are. Paid watch customers get a long private management link instead of an account and password.
Two things happen that are worth stating plainly.
We do not store a copy of the statements we generate. The document is built fresh each time you open your link, which is why the link keeps working and why there is no library of past searches here to be compromised.
The free list checker stays local. The paid watch is different because the job cannot keep running after you close the tab unless the list is stored. After payment, you choose up to 25 business entity names. We keep those names, your email, the Stripe subscription and receipt IDs, the case IDs already seen, and a record of successful checks and sends.
The names are searched against CourtListener’s public federal docket archive and our own case index. CourtListener receives the business names as search terms. Resend receives your email address and the content of an alert so it can deliver the message. Netlify hosts the site, functions and encrypted data store. Stripe handles billing. None of them receives the list for advertising from us.
We do not sell your details or customer list to anybody, for any price. There is no lead business, referral fee, data broker relationship or marketing list. No advertising trackers. No cookies for profiling. The processors named above do the billing, storage, public-record search and email delivery; they are not given the data for our advertising.
The case pages describe business entities, from public federal court records that anyone may read. We publish nothing about individual people's bankruptcy filings, because those are consumer-report data under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and that is a regime we are not in.
If a page names your company and the record does not support it, write in and it is corrected or taken down the same day. See the contact page, which explains the two categories of error we have already had to fix at scale.
Email hello@whofiledbankruptcy.com and ask. There is no form and no verification runaround. Given the above there is usually very little to send you, and we will say so honestly rather than pretending a file exists.
This site is for businesses and the people who work in them. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and there is no mechanism here that would collect it.
The site is served over HTTPS. Payments run through Stripe, which is PCI compliant, and we hold no card data. Pages declare a content security policy that blocks third-party scripts and connections. We are a small operation and will not claim enterprise security certifications we do not have.
Email hello@whofiledbankruptcy.com. That address is read by the person who runs this site, not a ticket queue, and it is the fastest way to get anything fixed. There is a contact page with more on corrections.
