Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 6, 2026
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how BrutalVerdict collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our website and product features. It applies to our waitlist and app experiences, including account, billing, and entitlement flows.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on your usage, we may collect account identifiers (including authentication provider IDs), payment and transaction metadata, entitlement and unlock status, technical telemetry needed for reliability, and waitlist/contact details you choose to submit.
3. Chat Data and Analysis Handling
BrutalVerdict is designed to minimize raw chat data retention. Core analysis workflows are built to process data locally where possible. Our backend systems store operational metadata such as chat fingerprints, entitlement references, and transaction records rather than full message histories for billing and access control.
4. How We Use Information
We use information to deliver product functionality, verify purchases and access, detect abuse and fraud, maintain platform performance, provide customer support, communicate service updates, and improve product quality and safety.
5. Payments and Financial Data
Payments are processed by third-party providers. We do not store full card numbers or complete payment instrument data on our servers. We retain transaction IDs, order references, and status fields needed for reconciliation, support, fraud prevention, and legal accounting obligations.
6. Legal Bases and Compliance
Where required by law, we process information under recognized legal bases such as contractual necessity, legitimate interests, consent, and legal obligations. We aim to implement privacy by design and data minimization as product defaults.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use essential cookies or local storage for authentication, session continuity, security checks, feature state, and analytics required for service operation. You can control browser settings, though disabling some storage features may reduce functionality.
8. Data Sharing and Processors
We may share limited data with service providers that support authentication, hosting, analytics, communications, and payment processing. These parties are authorized to process data only for contracted purposes and under appropriate confidentiality and security commitments.
9. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for product delivery, entitlement verification, dispute handling, security, legal compliance, and record-keeping. Retention periods vary by data category and may be extended when required by law.
10. Security Measures
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls, transport protections, auditability, and operational monitoring. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we continuously improve controls to reduce risk.
11. International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed in jurisdictions other than your own where our providers operate. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers in accordance with applicable law.
12. Children's Privacy
BrutalVerdict is not intended for children under the age required by local law to independently use digital services. If we learn we collected personal information from a child without valid authorization where required, we will take steps to delete it.
13. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, or request data portability. You may also have rights related to marketing communications and consent withdrawal. We will evaluate and respond to lawful requests within applicable timelines.
14. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product, legal landscape, or infrastructure evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date and publishing the revised policy on this page.
