Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

VeritasSignals ("we", "us", "our") operates veritassignals.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. By using VeritasSignals, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and hashed password. We never store plaintext passwords.

Usage data: We collect information about how you use the Service, including pages visited, picks made, and features accessed, to improve our product and analytics.

Betting activity: If you log bets through our bankroll tracker, we store bet details (player, market, stake, result) tied to your account. This data is private by default unless you opt into a public profile.

Payment information: Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers. We receive a customer ID and subscription status from Stripe.

Cookies & local storage: We use an httpOnly session cookie ("vs_session") for authentication. We use localStorage for client-side preferences. See our Cookie Policy below.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To process subscription payments via Stripe
• To send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset)
• To personalize your experience (bankroll profile, tier access)
• To analyze usage patterns and improve the platform
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Data Sharing

We share data only with:

• Stripe — payment processing
• Supabase — database and authentication infrastructure
• Google (Vertex AI) — AI pick reasoning (no personal data is sent, only anonymized prop data)

We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

5. Public Profiles & Leaderboard

You may opt into a public profile in Settings. When public, your username, win rate, ROI, and pick history are visible to other users on the community leaderboard. You can make your profile private again at any time, which will immediately remove you from the public leaderboard.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at [email protected]. Bet logs and bankroll data will be permanently deleted within 30 days of your request.

7. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS, httpOnly signed session cookies (HMAC-SHA256), bcrypt password hashing, and strict Content Security Policy headers. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Cookie Policy

We use the following cookies:

• vs_session (essential) — httpOnly, SameSite=Lax. Contains your signed authentication token. Required to use the Service.
• localStorage keys — client-side preferences, pick history, bankroll settings. Stored only in your browser.

We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent for data processing
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights.

10. Children's Privacy

VeritasSignals is intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it immediately.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
