Terms & Disclaimer

Acceptance

These Terms of Service govern your engagement with Erasd, a DBA of Secundus Nulli LLC ("Erasd," "we," "us"). By purchasing an engagement, submitting an intake, or otherwise using erasd.io, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

Read this alongside our Privacy Policy. Where the two address the same subject, the more specific provision controls.

Eligibility & authorization

You must be at least 18 years old and engaging us for a lawful purpose relating to your own identity, or an identity you are legally authorized to represent. By engaging us, you authorize Erasd to act as your agent for the limited purpose of submitting opt-out, deletion, and suppression requests to commercial data brokers and aggregators on your behalf.

You confirm that the identifiers you provide are accurate and are yours to submit. Erasd does not remove information about third parties without authorization, and does not assist in evading lawful process, creditors, or legal obligations.

Scope of services

Erasd offers two engagements. The Perimeter Lock is a one-time forensic audit and batch-purge of your commercial footprint. Ghost Protocol is a continuous monitoring retainer that detects and suppresses re-exposure over time.

Our work operates on commercial data brokers, marketing aggregates, consumer databases, people-search platforms, and open-source nodes. We map and remove the pivot vectors that tie your public brand to your legal identity across these surfaces.

The public-records limitation

Erasd operates on commercial data brokers, marketing aggregates, consumer databases, and open-source nodes. We cannot legally alter, seal, or expunge public records maintained by sovereign government infrastructure — including, without limitation, county property deeds, corporate and LLC registrations held by a Secretary of State, active court dockets, and voter registries.

These records are public by law, and the authority to amend or seal them rests with the issuing government body, not with Erasd or with the commercial brokers who scrape them. Where your real details remain unsealed at the government source, commercial scrapers may lawfully re-harvest them, and re-exposure on commercial surfaces can recur. Where sealing or amendment at the source is available, we will tell you and can advise on the process, but the filing and the outcome rest with the relevant authority.

The crawl-back & re-identification factor

Footprint removal is not a single permanent act; it is a dynamic perimeter. The commercial data ecosystem re-ingests new signals continuously, and your own activity creates new ones.

If, after a cleanup, you open new accounts, transact with unprotected payment instruments, register public business entities under personal details, or otherwise expose identifiers in the ordinary course of life, that information will reappear on commercial surfaces over time. This is expected behavior of the ecosystem, not a defect in the work performed.

The Perimeter Lock clears the surface as it exists at the time of the engagement. Ghost Protocol exists precisely to hold that result — to detect re-exposure as it occurs and suppress it on an ongoing basis. A one-time engagement without ongoing monitoring should be understood as a point-in-time clearance, not a permanent state.

Third-party processing & operational delays

Erasd dispatches opt-out and deletion protocols promptly — programmatically and manually — upon commencement of your engagement. We do not, however, control the internal processing queues of the data brokers, aggregators, and platforms that receive those requests.

Processing timelines are set by those third parties and by applicable law, and can legally vary from approximately 48 hours to 45 business days, and occasionally longer, per request and per recipient. Erasd is not liable for delays, queue positions, or interim re-exposure attributable to third-party processing times, system outages, or changes in a recipient's policies. We pursue each request through to confirmation where confirmation is offered.

Authorized agent & the California Delete Act

Where you have a California nexus, Erasd may act as your authorized agent under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Delete Act (SB 362), including the California Privacy Protection Agency's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP). Acting as an authorized agent requires your verifiable authorization, which you provide as part of intake.

Regulatory mechanisms, registration requirements, and platform specifications evolve. Erasd conforms its submissions to the current published requirements of the relevant authority. We make no representation that any particular automated platform, deadline, or broker obligation will be operative on any given date; statutory timelines and platform availability are determined by the regulator and the regulated parties, not by Erasd.

No guarantee of specific outcomes

We bring rigorous method, evidence, and follow-through to every engagement. We do not, and cannot honestly, guarantee that a specific record will be removed, that removal will be permanent, or that a determined third party cannot reconstruct information from sources outside our scope. Privacy is a logistics problem we manage continuously, not a switch we flip once.

How we handle your data

Intake identifiers are encrypted at our edge to a public key whose matching private key never resides in our production environment; only a local, offline operator machine can decrypt them. Decrypted working files, real-name lookup tables, and temporary intake logs are purged from Erasd production environments upon finalization of your Perimeter Lock. Under Ghost Protocol, only encrypted hash-state profiles persist, for the purpose of ongoing monitoring. We never sell or rent your data. See our Privacy Policy for detail.

Fees, billing & cancellation

The Perimeter Lock is a one-time fee, billed at purchase. Ghost Protocol is a recurring retainer billed monthly, quarterly, or annually at the rate you select; by subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel. You may cancel Ghost Protocol at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period; monitoring continues through the period already paid.

Because the Perimeter Lock involves immediate forensic labor and the dispatch of irreversible third-party requests, it is non-refundable once work has commenced. Payment is processed by our third-party processor; privacy-preserving payment options may be available.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Erasd to facilitate fraud, to evade lawful legal process or legitimate creditors, to conceal unlawful activity, or to remove information about anyone other than yourself or a party you are authorized to represent. We may decline or terminate any engagement that we reasonably believe falls outside these bounds, and we may be required to respond to valid legal process.

Limitation of liability & indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Erasd's total liability arising out of or relating to your engagement is limited to the amount you paid for the engagement giving rise to the claim. Erasd is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for re-exposure, third-party processing outcomes, or public-record persistence as described above.

You agree to indemnify Erasd against claims arising from identifiers you submitted that you were not authorized to submit, or from your use of our services in violation of these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Secundus Nulli LLC is a North Carolina limited liability company. Erasd is its operating brand.

Changes & contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the date below and, for active clients, communicated directly. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance. Questions go to the contact page — every message is confidential.
