At TruthScan, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. By using TruthScan, you agree to this policy.
We do not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII). We do not require you to create an account. We do not store the news text, URLs, or images you submit for checking. Your submitted content is processed in real-time and discarded immediately after analysis.
We may collect basic, anonymous usage data including page views, browser type, device type, country/region, and which features are used. This data is collected in aggregate form only and cannot be used to identify individual users. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
If you choose to add your own Gemini API key, it is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. Your API key is never transmitted to our servers. We cannot see, access, or use your API key.
TruthScan uses minimal cookies for basic functionality (such as remembering your daily free check count). We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies beyond standard Google Analytics and Google AdSense. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized ads by visiting Google's Ad Settings. We do not control which ads are shown by Google.
TruthScan uses the following third-party services: Groq API (AI analysis), Google Gemini API (AI analysis for users with their own keys), Google Analytics (anonymous usage statistics), Google AdSense (advertisements), Vercel (hosting). Each of these services has their own privacy policies.
We implement industry-standard security measures. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We do not store sensitive user data on our servers.
TruthScan is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by updating the date below. Continued use of TruthScan after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
