Privacy policy

Version of 30 October 2026. This policy follows the Data Protection Act, 2019.

What we receive

• From you: your email address (to send you the report) and your answer on whether the person asked you for money.
• About the person being checked: what you chose to send us – photos, number, email address, name or username, bits of messages, a photo of the ID document and the ID number.
• Payment is made with M-Pesa or bank transfer through our payment partner Rapyd. We never see or store your M-Pesa PIN, your bank login or your account details.

What we use it for

Only to run the seven checks and send you the report. We do this to provide the service you asked for and to help prevent fraud.

Who we share it with

To run the checks we send parts of your order to services that work for us (operators): Google Cloud Vision (the photos), Brave Search (the texts and names), IPQualityScore (the number and email address), Rapyd (the payment) and Brevo (the email with the link). The data is stored with Supabase, on a server in São Paulo. We don't sell data and we don't use it for advertising.

When we delete it

• Photos, numbers, email addresses, names, texts, ID document, ID number and your order: 30 days.
• The report: 30 days.
• Fingerprints of the photos and numbers (SHA-256 code, no name attached): 2 years after the last check.
• Technical logs of errors and timings, without personal information: 30 days.

Every night an automatic process deletes whatever has passed its time limit.

Your rights

Under the Data Protection Act you can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to it being processed. If someone checked you and you think something is wrong, or you want us to delete the fingerprint of your photo or your number, email us at ola@veritaza.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).
