July 29, 2025Effective Date

1. Introduction

Welcome to Veritas! We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning that information when you use our website analysis tool ("Service").

Our goal is to provide a powerful security and SEO analysis tool. By using Veritas, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect a very limited amount of information to provide and improve our Service.

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Website URL: The primary piece of information we collect is the website URL you submit for analysis.
  • (Future Feature) Account Information: When we introduce user accounts, we will collect your email address for login and communication, and your name (optional).

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard information when you visit Veritas. This may include your IP address, browser type, the pages you visited on our site, and the time and date of your visit. We use this data for security purposes and to understand how our Service is being used.
  • Analysis Data: To perform the analysis, we send the URL you provide to third-party services like the Google PageSpeed Insights API. This is essential for gathering performance metrics like Core Web Vitals.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain Our Service: The core use of the URL you submit is to perform the security and SEO analysis and generate your report.
  • To Create Public Reports: Scan results are generated on a unique, publicly accessible URL. This allows you to easily share your report. Please be aware that the analyzed URL and its report are not private.
  • To Improve Our Service: We analyze aggregated and anonymized usage data to identify which features are popular, diagnose problems, and improve the overall user experience.
  • For Security: We monitor usage data to prevent abuse, protect the integrity of our Service, and investigate potential security incidents.
  • (Future Feature) To Communicate With You: For users with an account, we will use your email to send important service updates, security alerts, and scheduled reports.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We only share data in the following limited circumstances:

Third-Party Service Providers

We use trusted third-party services to help us operate our tool. These include:

  • Vercel: Our hosting provider.
  • Google: We use the Google PageSpeed Insights API to get performance data. The URL you analyze is shared with Google for this purpose.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

5. Data Security and Retention

Security

We are committed to protecting your information. We use standard security measures like HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers.

Retention

  • For scans made without a user account, the report is available via its public URL, but we do not permanently store or associate the scan with a specific individual.
  • For future account holders, we will retain your scan history and website list as long as your account is active.

6. Your Rights

You have rights regarding your data. Since our MVP does not require personal information, these rights primarily apply to future account holders.

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Correction: You can request that we correct any inaccurate information.
  • Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete your account and associated data.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email below.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
