Terms of Service

Last updated: June 4, 2026

This is a courtesy translation. The Portuguese version is the legally binding document.

Welcome to espectrosint ("espectrosint", "we"). By accessing or using the platform at espectrosint.com, you ("user") agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy, which together form the agreement between you and espectrosint. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Service Description

espectrosint is an open-source intelligence (OSINT) platform that searches and cross-references publicly available data on the internet, querying over 200 open sources for legitimate investigations, due diligence, and digital protection. Some features allow users to upload files (for example, image metadata analysis).

The service relies on third-party APIs and data sources. We do not guarantee the availability, accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of information returned by these external sources.

2. Acceptance and Capacity

By creating an account, subscribing to a plan, or performing any search, you declare that:

• You are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to accept these terms;
• The information provided at registration is true and current;
• You will use the platform exclusively for legal and legitimate purposes, in compliance with these terms and applicable law.

3. Account Registration and Security

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity carried out under your account. The account is personal and non-transferable; sharing access is prohibited. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or suspected compromise of your account.

4. Plans, Credits, and Payment

espectrosint offers a free tier with limited access and paid subscription plans. The available plans, prices, monthly credits, and the features included in each (such as the AI-narrated analysis) are described on the Plans page and may be updated. Credits are consumed per search and do not carry over between periods. Payments are processed by our payment provider (Stripe); we do not store your full card details.

5. Renewal, Cancellation, and Right of Withdrawal

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period. You may cancel at any time via your account dashboard or the payment portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid. Except for the right of withdrawal below, there is no refund for unused credits.

Right of withdrawal (Art. 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Code): for purchases made online, you may withdraw within 7 (seven) calendar days of contracting, with a refund proportional to the unused credits. Credits already consumed are non-refundable, as the corresponding service was effectively rendered. Request via our contact e-mail.

6. Permitted Use

The platform must be used exclusively for:

• Legitimate and authorized investigations;
• Corporate due diligence and compliance;
• Personal digital protection and verification of your own exposure;
• Academic and journalistic research with a legal basis.

7. Prohibited Use

It is expressly prohibited to use espectrosint for:

• Harassment, stalking, or intimidation of any person;
• Investigating or monitoring children and adolescents;
• Privacy violations without a legal basis under the LGPD;
• Discrimination based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other criterion;
• Fraud, social engineering, or illicit data acquisition;
• Resale, redistribution, or scraping of obtained data;
• Automated, bulk, or limit-circumventing access to the platform;
• Making, on their own, decisions that adversely affect third parties (credit, employment, tenancy) based solely on the results;
• Any activity that violates applicable laws.

Violation of this clause will result in immediate suspension or termination of the account, without a refund and without prejudice to applicable legal measures.

8. Data Protection and LGPD — Roles and Responsibilities

espectrosint provides a tool that aggregates data from public sources. When you search for third parties, you act as the data controller and are solely responsible for having a valid legal basis under Art. 7 of Law No. 13.709/2018 (LGPD), as well as for the purpose and use you make of the results. espectrosint acts as a data processor, handling data according to the purpose declared by the user. The processing of your own registration data is described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Nature of the Data and No Advice

Results come from third-party public sources and may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. espectrosint is not a credit bureau or a background-check company, and the results do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice. You must independently verify any information before acting on it.

10. Third-Party APIs and Services

espectrosint integrates with various public APIs and data sources. We are not responsible for unavailability, changes, or inaccuracies arising from these external sources. Results may vary depending on the availability of each source at the time of the search.

11. Intellectual Property

The platform, software, the "espectrosint" trademark, the logo, texts, and other elements are owned by espectrosint or its licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to use the platform under these terms. You may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, resell, or commercially exploit any part of the service without prior written authorization.

12. User-Submitted Content

When you upload files (for example, images for analysis), you declare that you hold the necessary rights and legal basis over that content. You grant us a limited license to process the file solely to provide the requested service. We do not claim ownership of your content nor use it for other purposes.

13. Limitation of Liability

espectrosint is provided "as is." We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or uninterrupted availability of the service, and we are not liable for decisions made based on information obtained. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, espectrosint's total liability to you is limited to the amount you actually paid in the 12 (twelve) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liabilities that cannot be limited by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold espectrosint, its partners, and staff harmless from any claims, losses, damages, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the platform in violation of these terms or applicable law, including third-party claims related to the searches you performed.

15. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access, in whole or in part, in the event of a breach of these terms, misuse, or legal requirement. You may close your account at any time. Termination does not entitle you to a refund for a period already contracted, except as provided in clause 5.

16. Data Subject Requests

If you are a person whose data may appear in search results and you wish to exercise your rights under the LGPD, contact us at the e-mail below. Because we aggregate data from third-party public sources, wherever possible we will also guide you on removal at the original source.

17. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Significant changes will be communicated via e-mail or platform notification. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

18. Electronic Communications

You agree to receive communications relating to your account and the service by electronic means (e-mail and in-platform notifications), which have the same validity as written communications.

19. General Provisions

espectrosint may modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the service, with notice of significant changes. If any clause of these terms is held invalid, the remaining clauses remain in effect. Tolerance of any breach does not constitute a waiver. espectrosint may assign these terms in the event of a corporate reorganization; you may not assign them without our consent. We are not liable for failures arising from events beyond our reasonable control (force majeure).

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, including the Brazilian Internet Act (Marco Civil), the LGPD, and, where applicable, the Consumer Code. Before any legal action, the parties will seek to resolve disputes amicably via the contact e-mail. The courts of São Paulo/SP are elected to resolve disputes, without prejudice to a consumer's right to file suit in the courts of their own domicile.
