VerifyThis.site collects only the information needed to operate public trust questions, support user accounts, review domain claims, send service emails, measure basic usage, and protect the platform from abuse.

Information you provide

We collect information you submit directly, including questions, replies, reports, profile details, public profile links, domain claim requests, domain profile change requests, and uploaded domain logos or profile images.

Google sign-in

VerifyThis.site currently supports Google sign-in. When you sign in with Google, we receive account information needed to create and secure your account, such as your email address, name or display name, Google account identifier, and profile image when available.

Public content

Questions, replies, usernames, profile avatars, public profile pages, domain pages, and public activity summaries may be visible to other users and search engines. Do not post private, confidential, or sensitive information in public content.

Domain claims and owner tools

If you claim or manage a domain, we collect claim details such as claimant name, work email, job title, authority notes, verification status, admin review decisions, and owner tool activity. Domain profile updates and uploaded logos may be reviewed by admins before they appear publicly.

Notifications and email

We may send transactional emails, such as domain claim verification links and important account or service messages. We also create in-product notifications for relevant activity, such as replies, helpful votes, looking-for-answer activity, claim reviews, and moderation outcomes.

Usage data and logs

We collect basic technical and usage information such as IP address, request metadata, device or browser information, page visits, domain and question view events, rate-limit events, report events, and server logs. We use this information to operate analytics, troubleshoot problems, and prevent spam or abuse.

How we use information

We use information to provide and improve the service, authenticate users, show public content, process domain claims, support official replies, send service communications, moderate content, investigate reports, generate analytics, enforce rate limits, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Service providers

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us run VerifyThis.site, such as hosting, database, authentication, email delivery, storage, logging, analytics, and security providers. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us.

Legal and safety disclosures

We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or a valid government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect users, enforce our terms, investigate abuse, or protect the security and integrity of the platform.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain public content, resolve disputes, enforce rules, preserve audit history, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. Public questions and replies may remain visible unless removed through moderation or product controls.

Your choices

You can edit certain account, profile, question, and reply information through product controls where available. Some records, such as audit logs, moderation records, claim review history, and rate-limit events, may be retained for safety, integrity, or legal reasons.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so you should use care when deciding what to post publicly.

VerifyThis.site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International processing

Information may be processed and stored in countries other than where you live. By using VerifyThis.site, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in those locations.

We may update this policy as the product changes. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice where appropriate.
