Trust and privacy
Privacy Policy
Clear information about the data behind your account, analyses, and extension use.
Data Protection Commitment
This policy explains which data Veritas Shield processes, why it is needed, how long analysis history remains available, and the controls you have when using the web app and extension.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:
- Usage Data: We analyze the URLs you submit to provide credibility scores. This analysis data is processed in real-time.
- Analysis History: New signed-in webapp and extension reports—including the submitted URL, cleaned article text, score, and grading evidence—are saved privately to your account and remain visible for 30 days. You can delete saved reports sooner from the History page.
- Account Information: If you create an account, we store your email address and authentication credentials securely.
- Extension Data: Our Chrome extension processes an article only when you explicitly request an analysis. It may reuse a matching article tab or open a temporary background tab for the requested URL. It does not continuously track your browsing history.
How We Use Information
Your information is used solely for:
- Providing and improving our credibility analysis services
- Managing your account and subscription
- Communicating important updates about the service
- Ensuring the security and integrity of our platform
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. All transmission is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
