Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

VeriSieve ("the app," "we," "our") is a social media aggregator and fact-checking tool for iOS. This policy explains what data the app handles and how.

What the app does with your data

Your social media accounts

VeriSieve does not have its own login system and does not collect your social media passwords. When you connect a platform (X/Twitter, BlueSky, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, TikTok), you sign in through that platform's own website inside the app's built-in browser, exactly as you would in Safari or Chrome. Your credentials go directly to that platform, not to us. The app reads publicly-available content and your own account's activity (posts, notifications) from the session you're already logged into, in order to display it back to you in one place.

What's stored on your device

To make the app fast and usable offline, VeriSieve caches the following locally, on your device only:

• Posts and notifications from the accounts you follow on platforms you've connected — not all content on those platforms, only activity from accounts you already follow
• Posts you've bookmarked
• App settings and preferences

None of this is uploaded to any server we operate. Deleting the app removes this data. It never leaves your device except as described in the next section.

Fact-checking (the one place data leaves your device)

When you tap "Fact Check" on a post, the text of that specific post is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI API for analysis, and the result is shown back to you. This only happens when you explicitly request a fact-check for a specific post — it does not happen automatically or in the background. See Anthropic's privacy policy for how they handle data sent to their API.

Third-party data access

Some Twitter/X features may be served through a third-party data provider (TwitterAPI.io) in addition to your own logged-in session. Only the specific request needed (e.g., a search query or post lookup) is sent — no additional personal information beyond what's necessary for that request.

What we don't do

• We don't have our own user accounts, sign-up, or login system
• We don't use analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs
• We don't request access to your camera, microphone, location, or contacts
• We don't sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers
• We don't run our own backend servers that store your data (as of this version — see "Future changes" below)

Data retention and deletion

Your locally-cached data stays on your device until you delete it (via the app's settings, or by deleting the app entirely). We don't retain a copy anywhere else, because we don't operate a server that would store one.

Children's privacy

VeriSieve is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. The app requires connecting to third-party social platforms that have their own age requirements.

Future changes

VeriSieve may introduce an optional backend service in the future (for example, to share fact-check results across users more efficiently). If that happens, this policy will be updated before that change ships, and it will be described here in plain language.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
