Vérité is a platform for capturing, sharing, and licensing real-world moments. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We collect only what the service needs, and we don't sell your personal information.
Information you provide
Account details — the name or handle you choose, and an email address if you add one to confirm your account or receive payouts.
Content — the photos and videos you shoot, the people you tag, captions, and the venues you tag.
Payment details — handled by our payment processor. We store only what's needed to route payouts (never full card numbers).
Information collected automatically
Device & usage — app version, device type, and basic activity needed to operate and secure the service.
Approximate location — attached to content only when you tag a place, so shots can be discovered by venue.
How we use it
To run the core experience: publishing shots, licensing, payouts, and discovery.
To keep the community safe — detecting fraud, abuse, and content-policy violations.
To communicate with you about your account, sales, and support requests.
You control who sees your posts. Turning on IRL Only in Settings makes your content private — it stays out of the public feed and is shared only with the people you choose.
When content appears publicly
Unless you enable IRL Only, content you publish may appear in public and venue feeds, and venue-tagged content may be featured in Vérité editions. If you're captured in someone else's shot and don't want it shared, you can request its removal — see “Your choices.”
Sharing
We share personal information only with service providers who help us operate (hosting, payments, analytics) under confidentiality obligations, or when required by law. To limit harassment and fraud, confidentiality-bound staff may screen communications with artists for a short period.
Retention
We keep information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. You can delete your account at any time from Settings.
Your choices
Privacy — toggle IRL Only to keep posts private.
Removal — request removal of content in which you appear by emailing info@verite.media.
Access & deletion — request a copy or deletion of your data, or delete your account directly in the app.
Children
Vérité is not intended for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from minors.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the effective date above.
