Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how VerifyDocs ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you use verifydocs.online (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. The information involved falls into a few categories:

• Files you upload: documents or images you submit to a tool are processed to produce your result and are not stored by us after processing, nor shared with third parties without your consent.
• Information you provide: if you contact us, we receive the name, email address and message you send.
• Usage data: like most websites, our servers and analytics may record technical details such as browser type, device, approximate location and pages visited.
• Cookies: small files stored on your device, described below.

How we use information

• To provide the verification tools and return your results.
• To respond to enquiries you send through the contact form.
• To maintain security, prevent abuse and diagnose technical problems.
• To understand aggregate usage so we can improve the Service.
• To display advertising that helps keep the core tools free.

Cookies and similar technologies

Essential cookies are required for the site to function. Optional cookies — used for analytics and advertising — are only set based on the choice you make in our consent banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing the stored preference in your browser, and you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display ads through Google AdSense and other partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, and you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising via www.aboutads.info.
• Where required, we request consent for advertising cookies before they are set.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, please refer to Google's own privacy and advertising policies.

Third-party services

We rely on reputable third parties for hosting, analytics and advertising. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

Uploaded files are processed transiently and are not retained after your result is produced. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. Aggregate, non-identifying usage data may be retained to help us improve the Service.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond in line with applicable law.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid uploading sensitive information you do not need to submit.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the age defined by your local law), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
