Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better experience and ensure the protocol's security. This includes:

• Account Information: Name, email address, and authentication data.
• Forensic Data: When media is uploaded, we extract technical signals including metadata (EXIF data, camera make/model, timestamps) and GPS coordinates if available.
• Verification Data: IP addresses, browser fingerprints, and device identifiers of individuals being verified (with their explicit consent during the verification flow).

2. Forensic Image Processing

Our Media Integrity Verification Engine (MIVE) processes images using Error Level Analysis (ELA) and other forensic algorithms. These processes are automated and designed to detect tampering, AI generation, and digital manipulation.

3. Data Retention and 30rd-Day Purge

We believe in "Privacy by Deletion." All uploaded media files, forensic reports, and sensitive verification data are automatically and permanently purged from our servers 30 days after the action is completed. We store only anonymized statistics and billing records beyond this period.

4. Third-Party Data Handlers

We do not sell your personal data. We share only necessary information with trusted service providers:

• Payment Processors: Stripe and Flutterwave handle all billing transactions. They have their own privacy policies.
• Email Services: We use AWS SES or similar for transactional emails.

5. Your Rights and Access

You have the right to request a copy of your data or its immediate deletion. Note that immediate deletion of verification history will also delete active forensic reports that you may wish to save for your own records.
